Carrot Cake
胡蘿卜蛋糕
Edie's birthday was today. "I want nothing for my birthday," she had said. Nick knew better. He knew that "nothing" meant "something." He went to the bakery in the morning. He looked at the cakes. She liked cake without icing. He looked for a cake without icing. He didn't see one. But he did see a carrot cake. The cake had vanilla icing. He liked vanilla icing. She liked carrot cake. He bought the cake. The baker wrote "Happy Birthday Edie" on the cake. She'll like this cake, Nick thought. He took it home. He showed Edie the cake. "It looks delicious," she said. "But you have to eat all the icing. Did you buy this cake for me or for you? I know you love icing. You know I don't like icing. Next year buy me a cake without icing. You have a whole year to find one."
今天是艾迪的生日。她曾說她生日什么都不想要。尼克知道。什么都不想要的意思是希望收到禮物。他早上去了蛋糕店。他看著這些蛋糕。她喜歡沒有糖衣的蛋糕。他正在找尋這種蛋糕。他沒有發現有這樣的蛋糕。但是他發現了一個胡蘿卜蛋糕。上面有香草味糖衣。他喜歡香草味糖衣。而她喜歡胡蘿卜蛋糕。他買了這個蛋糕。面包師在蛋糕上寫下了“艾迪，生日快樂?！蹦峥讼?，她會喜歡的。他帶回了家。他向艾迪展示了蛋糕。她說，看起來非常美味。但是你要吃掉所有的糖衣。這個蛋糕是為你買的還是為我買的？我知道你喜歡糖衣。你知道我不喜歡這個。明年給我買一個不帶糖衣的蛋糕。你有一整年的時間去尋找。
