【課文】
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.
在上星期的宴會上,女主人安排我坐在蘭伯爾德夫人的身旁。蘭伯爾德夫人是一位身材高大、表情嚴肅的女人,穿一件緊身的黑衣服。當我在她身旁坐下來的時候,她甚至連頭都沒有抬一下。她的眼睛盯著自己的盤子,不一會兒就忙著吃起來了。我試圖找個話題和她聊聊。
‘A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,’I said.‘Will you be seeing it?’
“很快有一出新戲要在‘環(huán)球劇場’上演,”我說,“您會去看嗎?”
‘No,’she answered.
“不去,”她回答。
‘Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?’I asked.
“您今年打算出國度假嗎?”我問。
‘No,’she answered.
“不去,”她回答。
‘Will you be staying in England?’I asked.
“那您會留在英國嗎?”我問。
‘No,’she answered.
“不留,”她回答。
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
絕望之中,我問她是否喜歡這頓晚餐。
‘Young man,’she answered,‘if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!’
“年輕人,”她回答說,“如果你多吃點,少說點,我們倆都會更享受這頓晚餐的!”
