At a dinner party a shy young man had been trying to think of something nice to say to his hostess.
At last he saw his chance when she turned to him and remarked, "What a small appetite you have tonight, Mr. Jones."
"To sit next to you," he replied gallantly, "would cause any man to lose his appetite."
在一次晚餐聚会上,一位腼腆的年轻人一直在冥思苦想对女主人说一些好听的话。
机会终于来了,女主人转向他说:“琼斯先生,您今晚的饭量太小了。”
“坐在您身边,”他殷勤的说道,“任何男人都会失去胃口的。”
