特殊意义
My husband is generally not a very romantic person,so I was rather pleased when on our 23rd anniversary he surprised me with 17 roses. Curious about the odd amount,
I asked him if there was a special significance to buying 17 roses rather than the normal one or two dozen.
'No,'he answered,'That was the minimum amount that could be charged.'

一般说来我丈夫不是一个很浪漫的人，因此在我们结婚23周年纪念日那天，他买了17朵玫瑰花，让我惊喜不已。
出于对奇怪的花朵数目的好奇，我问他买17朵玫瑰而不是通常的一打或二打，是不是有其特殊的意义。
“没有，”他回答，“那是能要的最低数目。”
