Reader's Digest 10月号の記事 "Life in these United States" からの引用です。
After standing in line at the car rental for what seemed like eons, I was told by the clerk that I would be given a free upgrade because of my wait.
Later, when I told my husband why we got a free upgrade, he seemed confused, asking, "How do they know how much you weigh?"
"weigh" の名詞は "weight" で "wait" と同じ発音でしたね。
"eons" は米国英語の綴りで、 2009/9/12に取り上げた "aeon" の綴りは英国での綴りの様です。
