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.<BR> 'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?'<BR> 'No,' she answered.<BR> 'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?' I asked.<BR> 'No,' she answered.<BR> 'Will you be staying in England?' I asked.<BR> 'No,' she answered.<BR> In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.<BR> 'Young man,' she answered, 'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!"</P><br><P>New words and expressions 生词和短语</P><br><P>hostess n. 女主人<BR>unsmiling adj. 不笑的，严肃的<BR>tight adj. 紧身的<BR>fix v. 凝视<BR>globe n. 地球<BR>despair n. 绝望</P><br><P>参考译文</P><br><P> 在上星期的一次宴会上，女主人安排我坐在兰伯尔德夫人的身旁。兰伯尔德夫人是一位身材高大、表情严肃的女人，穿一件紧身的黑衣服。当我在她身旁坐下来的时候，她甚至连头都没有抬一下。她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子，不一会儿就忙着吃起来了。我试图找个话题和她聊聊。<BR> “一出新剧要来‘环球剧场’上演了，”我说，“您去看吗？”<BR> “不，”她回答。<BR> “您今年去国外度假吗？”我又问。<BR> “不，”她回答。<BR> “您就呆在英国吗？”我问。<BR> “不，”她回答。<BR> 失望之中我问她饭是否吃得满意。<BR> “年轻人，”她回答说，“如果你多吃点，少说点，我们两个都会吃得好的！”</P> <br> <br></div><br> <br> <br><br> <br> </td><br> </tr><br> <tr><br> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="3%" height="27"> </td> <td width="94%" height="27"> <div align="center"></div> </td> <td width="3%" height="27"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="3%"> </td> <td width="94%"> <div align="right"><a href="/kbs/index-1.html"> 返回</a><br> <br> </div> </td> <td width="3%"> </td> </tr> </table> <br> </td> <td width="162" valign="top" bgcolor="#F3F3F3" height="470"> <!--ad--> </td> </tr></table><table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="6" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#003366" height="1"></td> </tr></table></body></html> <div class="row global_footer"><hr /><div class="col-md-3"> </div><div class="col-md-5">Copyright © 2023 Qeto All rights reserved. <br /><a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/business.php" rel="nofollow">商务合作</a> | <a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/connect_us.php" rel="nofollow">联系我们</a> | <a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/about_us.php" rel="nofollow">关于我们</a> | <a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/copyright.php" rel="nofollow">版权声明</a> | <a href="https://www.qeto.com/help/privacy.php" rel="nofollow">隐私条款</a> | <a href="https://www.incasedo.cn">如果智培</a><br /><br /><a href="https://beian.miit.gov.cn" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">京ICP备05059198号-1</a><a target="_blank" href="http://www.beian.gov.cn/portal/registerSystemInfo?recordcode=11011202003401"><img src="https://www.qeto.com/imgs/ghs.png" />京公网安备 11011202003401号</a></div><div class="col-md-3"> </div></div></div><div style="display:none" id="show_mp3_loading"><img src="https://yun.qeto.com/imgs/module/loading-balls.gif" /></div><div style="display:none" id="show_mp3_playing"><img src="https://yun.qeto.com/imgs/module/speak.gif" /><h1 id="audio_play_countnum1"></h1></div><script type="text/javascript" src="//cpro.baidustatic.com/cpro/ui/cm.js" async="async" defer="defer"></script><!--[if !IE]> --><script src="/assets/js_min/jquery.min.js"></script><!-- <![endif]--><!--[if IE]><script src="/assets/js_min/jquery1x.min.js"></script><![endif]--><script type="text/javascript">if('ontouchstart' in document.documentElement) document.write("<script src='/assets/js_min/jquery.mobile.custom.min.js'>"+"<"+"/script>");</script><script src="/assets/js_min/bootstrap.min.js"></script><!--[if lte IE 8]> <script src="/assets/js_min/excanvas.min.js"></script><![endif]--><!--[if IE 6]> <script src="/js17_min/png.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> DD_belatedPNG.fix('.png'); </script><![endif]--><script>var _hmt =_hmt ||[];(function() {var hm =document.createElement("script");hm.src ="https://hm.baidu.com/hm.js?09b4e7e043eb276bdbd052a3002440a4";var s =document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(hm,s);})();</script><script>(function(){var bp =document.createElement('script');var curProtocol =window.location.protocol.split(':')[0];if (curProtocol ==='https') {bp.src ='https://zz.bdstatic.com/linksubmit/push.js';} else {bp.src ='http://push.zhanzhang.baidu.com/push.js';} var s =document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(bp,s);})();</script><script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-10855345-1"></script><script>window.dataLayer =window.dataLayer ||[];function gtag() gtag('js',new Date());gtag('config','UA-10855345-1');</script><div id="debug"></div></BODY></HTML>
