**Lesson 40 Food and talk 进餐与交谈**

Last week at a dinner-party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs Rumbold. Mrs Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.

‘A new play is coming to “The Globe” soon,’ I said. ‘Will you be seeing it?’ ‘No,’ she answered. ‘Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?’ I asked. ‘No,’ she answered.

‘Will you be staying in England?’ I asked. ‘No,’ she answered.

In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.

‘Young man,’ she answered, ‘if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!’

**参考译文**: 上周在一次晚宴上,女主人让我坐在兰姆博尔德夫人旁边。兰姆博尔德夫人是一位身材高大、不苟言笑的女士,穿着紧身黑裙。当我在她旁边坐下时,她甚至没有抬头看。她的眼睛盯着盘子,很快就开始忙着吃东西。我试图攀谈。

“一部新剧即将在’环球剧院’上演,“我说,“你会去看吗?""不,“她回答。“今年你会去国外度假吗?“我问。“不,“她回答。

“你会留在英国吗?“我问。“不,“她回答。

绝望中,我问她是否享受她的晚餐。

“年轻人,“她回答,“如果你多吃少说,我们都能享受这顿晚餐!“
