Reader's Digest July/Aug号の 'Life in the United States' のコラムにあった女性からの投書(Kathleen Smith, Mills, Massachusetts)です。
Recently I woke up in a particularly good mood. So much so that I felt compelled to look over at my husband and say, "Honey, I love you."
He returned my gaze and asked, "Why? What's the matter?"
英米人は常に愛人や伴侶に頻繁に "I love you." と言うと聞いていますが、そう言われても "Why? What's the matter?" と感じる英米人もいるのを知り、納得です。
