With shrewd（狡猾的）reasoning, she figured approximately （近似的，大约）the number of years he had chosen to be absent（缺席）, and put himself (改为herself) away for a like period（时期）. In a TV dramatization（剧本）rather pessimistically（悲观地）entitling (改为entitled)You Can’t Get Away , the husband described his sensations（感觉）upon being（一被……）defrosted after 15 years, only (加to) find his wife waiting for him right there in the reception room（接待室）of the Zeritsky plant（植物，草木；设备；工厂；庄稼）.“She was as perfectly preserved（保存）as I was ,” he said. “Any (改为Every) irritating（令人恼火的）habit that had made my life unbearable（无法忍受的）with her was absolutely intact（原封不动的）.”Another story came down(去掉) from the daughter of a Zeritsky client. Her fatherwas still, at the age of one hundred and two, passionately（热情的）interested in politics, but the chances of his lasting until the next election was (改为were) not good. The daughter herself suggested the deep freeze and he welcomed the idea. He decided on a twenty-year stay because, in his own words, “As (改为If) the Republicans（共和主义者）can’t get into the White House in twenty years, I give up.” Of (改为Upon) his return, he found that his condition had not been fulfilled. His daughter described him as utterly（完全的）baffling (改为baffled)（受挫）by the new world. He lived in it just a week before he left it, this time for good. His last words were, “How do you people stand it?”翻译：1. 总之，这些实验室设备太贵，而且也许过时了。
