At a dinner party a shy young man had been trying to think of something nice to say to his hostess.
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。
At last he saw his chance when she turned to him and remarked, "What a small appetite you have tonight, Mr. Jones."
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。”
"To sit next to you," he replied gallantly, "would cause any man to lose his appetite."
“坐在您身边,”他殷勤的说道,“任何男人都会失去胃口的。”
