The story

小雨：大卫，我们结婚了。老公和老婆是平等的，对吧？David, we're married now. Husband and wife are equal, right?

大卫：当然！我们在每个方面都是平等的！Of course! We're equal in every way!

小雨：那么，在家里干活儿，也要平等。So when it comes to housework, we should be equal too.

大卫：好啊！你说吧，谁干什么？Sure! Go on then — who does what?

小雨：我做了一个表格，全部都写在这儿了。I've made a chart. It's all written down here.

大卫：这么长？这是表格还是一封信？That long? Is this a chart or a letter?

小雨：做饭是我的部分。洗碗是你的部分。Cooking is my part. Washing up is your part.

大卫：好，公平。OK, fair.
