英語幽默小故事帶翻譯:An extensive menu 漫無邊際的菜單(中英雙語)
149.An extensive menu
149.漫無邊際的菜單
A man dirning with a friend explained the peculiarities of the restaurant they were in:"The waiters never admit they don't have something. They'll take your order. for a slice of sun and too away as if they mean to get it...then they'll come back and say they just ran out.”
一位和朋友吃飯的男士解釋他們在飯館里吃飯的怪現象時說:“服務員從未承認過他們沒有什么萊。假如你想要一份太陽,他們也會拿著菜單離去,好像真能給你弄來似的。然后,他們回來說這道菜剛賣完。”為了證明這一點,我說:“請來一份恐龍。”
To prove his point,he said to the waiter,“The dinosaur,please.”
“好的,先生,”服務員回答說:“您要的恐龍是做得嫩點還是老點兒的?”
“Yes,sir,“answered the waiter.”And how would you like it cooked?"
“老點兒的。”
"Well done!"
服務員離開了,又很快回來了。“對不起,先生,我們的恐龍菜剛賣完。”
The waiter left and returned quickly.“I'm sorry, sir,but we've just run out of a dinosaur.”
“什么?”顧客氣憤地說:“沒有恐龍?”
" What?" said the diner with feigned disappointment."No dinosaur?"
那服務員低聲地說:“我們的確還剩一些。”他顯得作常自信的樣子。“但恐龍肉有點兒不太鮮了,所以我們還是不給您上這道菜的好。”
The waiter lowered his voice. "Well,we do have some left,“he whispered confidentially,"...but it's not very fresh and I won't serve it!”
