At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young woman who bore a boy on the same day. Partly because my parents  46 a shop selling flowers, the room was soon  47  with the lovely scent of roses.
   As the seventh floral arrangement was   48  , I was beginning to feel  49 , for no flowers had arrived for my roommate, Ann. She sat on the edge of her bed and leaned forward to admire the  50  bouquet. She was a pretty young woman, yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much  51 , too much sadness for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone else’  52  .
  “I’m enjoying every  53 of this”, she said as though she had read my   54  and was trying to reassure me. “Wasn’t I the lucky one to get you for a   55 ?”
   I still felt uncomfortable, however.  56   there were some magic button I could push to  57   the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, at least,I can see that she has some flowers. When my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send  58 some.
  The flowers arrived just   59  Ann and I were finishing supper.
  “More flowers for you,” she said,   60  .
  “No, not this time,” I said, looking at the     61   “These are for you.”
  Ann stared at the blossoms a long time, not saying anything. She ran her 62  across the pale blue bouquets and  63 touched each of the sweet roses as though trying to engrave(刻画) them on her 64 .
  “How can I ever thank you” she said softly.
I was almost embarrassed. It was such a little    65  on my part.

  Let’s face it-English is a crazy language.There is no egg in eggplant(茄子)nor ham in hamburger; Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.English muffins(松饼)weren’t invented in England or French fries in France.Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

  We take English for granted.But if we explore its paradox(似是而非的说法), we find that quicksand(流沙)can work slowly, boxing rings are square and guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is a pig.

  If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught?If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

  How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?How can a person be“pretty ugly”?

  You have to marvel at the unique lunacy(荒谬)of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.Why is a“crazy man”an insult(侮辱), while to insert a comma and say“crazy, man”is a compliment(as when clapping for a Jazz performance).

  English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race(which, of course, isn’t a race at all).That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
