英语幽默小故事带翻译:An extensive menu 漫无边际的菜单(中英双语)
149.An extensive menu
149.漫无边际的菜单
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.”
一位和朋友吃饭的男士解释他们在饭馆里吃饭的怪现象时说:“服务员从未承认过他们没有什么莱。假如你想要一份太阳,他们也会拿着菜单离去,好像真能给你弄来似的。然后,他们回来说这道菜刚卖完。”为了证明这一点,我说:“请来一份恐龙。”
To prove his point,he said to the waiter,“The dinosaur,please.”
“好的,先生,”服务员回答说:“您要的恐龙是做得嫩点还是老点儿的?”
“Yes,sir,“answered the waiter.”And how would you like it cooked?"
“老点儿的。”
"Well done!"
服务员离开了,又很快回来了。“对不起,先生,我们的恐龙菜刚卖完。”
The waiter left and returned quickly.“I'm sorry, sir,but we've just run out of a dinosaur.”
“什么?”顾客气愤地说:“没有恐龙?”
" What?" said the diner with feigned disappointment."No dinosaur?"
那服务员低声地说:“我们的确还剩一些。”他显得作常自信的样子。“但恐龙肉有点儿不太鲜了,所以我们还是不给您上这道菜的好。”
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!”
