第6章 希拉里的家乡

Bill and Hillary Clinton are driving in the country near Hillary's hometown.They are low on fuel,so Bill stoppes at a gas station.The man at the gas station comes out and looks into the window.

“Hey,Hillary!We used to date in high school,do you remember me?”he asks.

They talk merrily for a few minutes.Bill pays and they leave.As they drive,Bill is feeling very proud of himself and looks over at Hillary.

“You used to date that guy?Just think what life would be if you hadn't married me.”he says.Hillary looks at Bill and says to him,“Well,I guess you'd be pumping gas and he'd be President.”

克林顿夫妇开车来到了希拉里故乡附近。车中油不多了,于是他们来到了一个加油站。加油站的人出来后,望着车窗内说:“嗨!希拉里!我们在高中的时候约会过呢,你还记得我吗?”

他和希拉里愉快地交谈了几分钟。克林顿付完钱之后,便开车载着希拉里走了。在路上,克林顿十分自豪,他望着希拉里说:“你和那家伙约会过?想想要是当初你没嫁给我,生活会是什么样子吧!”

希拉里答道:“要是那样的话,你应该会去给别人加油而他应该会是总统。”
