寶貝，你怎麼不說話？
Written by Sheny Lin and translated by Gwen Kimmelman



 “Living together, sharing life’s stories with each other, hours of conversations that last all night about nothing in particular. There’s nothing better than coming home to see the shining smile of your significant other after a full day of tedious work.

            But wait, why isn’t there a warm welcome waiting for me at home this time? Aren’t you happy to see me? It’s like my boyfriend has suddenly come down with a case of the blues, and we have nothing to say to each other.

你曾經坐在咖啡廳裡幻想著與自己的外國男友住在一起可能的甜蜜情景嗎？兩個人住在一起，分享生活中發生的故事，呱啦呱啦地聊上一個晚上。結束了一天的奔波勞累後回到自己的Sweet Home，可以看到自己最愛的人想必是天底下最大的幸福了！

            但是，在經過一天的工作折騰後，我的寶貝啊！你心情不好嗎？ 怎麼回到家就不跟我說話了？

It’s not you, it’s my reading habit

不是不想跟你聊天，我是在享受！

            Come home, shut the door, turn on the TV. For the Taiwanese, this is a common practice. It is an easy way to clear one’s head after a long day at work, but I have never seen my boyfriend turn on the TV (maybe it’s because he wouldn’t understand what they were talking about anyway).  Where I go turn to the TV for relaxation, he finds refuge in his Apple laptop or iPad and the miscellaneous readings found on the Internet. There’s no TV remote wrestling around here...”

            「回到家，把門關上，然後打開電視」可能是台灣朋友們最熟悉不過的回家模式了，看電視時，可以讓腦袋完全放空休息，真是太棒了! 可是我從來沒有看過男友看電視 (大概也是因為他聽不懂也看不懂中文吧!?) 相對於把看電視當作放鬆的我來說，男友只是靜靜地盯著他的Mac air和iPad，只有閱讀網路上無窮無盡的新知識讓他感到放鬆，而我也樂得一個人獨佔電視!
