课文原文
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!’
“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!“
