Mr and Mrs smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small

inn at the foot of a hill. One day , however, Mr Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they

decide to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.

They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected tha they would have

to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They

were therfore surprised when they man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take

dinner there that night.

"Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr Smith.

"Yes, certainly, Sir," answered the man. "We serve it until half past nine."

"What are the times of meals then?" asked Mr Smith.

"Well, sir," ansered the man. "We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning,

lunch from tweleve to three in the afternoon. tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past

nice."

"But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London!" said Mr Smith.

飯店里，七點(diǎn)種就不在開餐了。所以，當(dāng)在大廳里接待他們的人問他們當(dāng)天晚上是否還要用晚餐時(shí)，他們非常意外。

“你們還開晚餐嗎？”史密斯先生問。

“當(dāng)然，先生，”這人回答，“我們一直開到九點(diǎn)半。”

“那么，幾頓飯的開餐時(shí)間呢？”史密斯先生問。
