62. Don't Call Me "Honey" 别叫我“亲爱的”

"Don't call me Honey anymore," Fanny said. "Okay, Honey," Rich said. "I mean it!" she said. "Don't call me Honey. Don't call me Sugar. Don't call me Sweetie." Rich was confused. "I am confused, Darling," he said. "Why can't I call you Honey? Why can't I call you Sugar? Why can't I call you Sweetie?" Fanny said, "Because you used to call your ex-wife those names. When you call me those names, I think of your ex-wife. When I think of your ex-wife, I get angry. So don't make me angry." Rich was still confused. "But what can I call you, Darling?" Fanny said, "Don't call me Darling, either. Call me Fanny." "Yes, dear," said Rich. Fanny said, "Dear? Don't call me Dear, either. Call me Fanny. My name is Fanny." Rich said, "I don't want to call you Fanny--I want to call you something special."

“别再叫我蜂蜜了，”范妮说。“好吧，亲爱的，”里奇说。“我是认真的！”她说。“别叫我蜂蜜，别叫我糖，别叫叫我甜心。”里奇很困惑。“我很困惑，亲爱的，”他说。“为什么我不能叫你亲爱的？为什么我不能称你甜心？为什么我不可以叫你甜心？”范妮说：“因为你过去常叫你前妻这些名字。当你叫我这些名字时，我会想起你前妻。当我想到你前妻时，我很生气。所以不要让我生气。”里奇仍然很困惑。“亲爱的，我能叫你什么？”范妮说：“也不要叫我亲爱的。叫我范妮。”“是的，亲爱的，”里奇说。范妮说：“亲爱的？也不要叫我亲爱的。叫我范妮。我叫范妮。”里奇说，“我不想叫你范妮——我想叫你一些特别的名字。”
