英语家庭小故事
One fine day, while watching television with her husband, the television actress was performing a ballet. Her husband turned to her and said, "My dear, you have the grace for ballet." She was thrilled, thinking he must think she had a good figure. However, she wanted to hear his praise more directly, so she took a deep breath and asked him, "Why do you think I am suited for ballet?"
With a professional tone and seriousness, her husband replied, "In ballet, it is important for the dancer to have balance and proportion. The chest should not be too prominent." This caused her to almost fall out of her chair in surprise.
That evening, she replayed his words in her mind, realizing that his comment was not just a compliment on her appearance but rather a recognition of her potential in dance. She thought about how he had used the term "balance" in his explanation, which resonated deeply with her as a dancer. She realized that not only did she possess the physical attributes for dance but also the necessary balance and harmony that would make her a great ballet dancer.
She looked at her husband with renewed respect and appreciation. His words had not only made her laugh but also made her realize that she had a supportive partner who recognized her potential and encouraged her to pursue her dreams. From that day onward, she danced with renewed vigor and determination, knowing that she had someone who believed in her and wanted to see her succeed.
