Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. 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.
A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon, I said. Will you be seeing it?
No, she answered.
Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year? I asked.
No, she answered.
Will you be staying in England? I asked.
No, she answered.
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
Young man, she answered, if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!"

在上星期的一次宴會(huì)上，女主人安排我坐在蘭伯爾德夫人的身旁。蘭伯爾德夫人是一位身材高大、表情嚴(yán)肅的女人，穿一件緊身的黑衣服。當(dāng)我在她身旁坐下來(lái)的時(shí)候，她甚至連頭都沒(méi)有抬一下。她的眼睛盯著自己的盤(pán)子，不一會(huì)兒就忙著吃起來(lái)了。我試圖找個(gè)話題和她聊聊。 “一出新劇要來(lái)‘環(huán)球劇場(chǎng)’上演了，”我說(shuō)，“您去看嗎？” “不，”她回答。 “您今年去國(guó)外度假嗎？”我又問(wèn)。 “不，”她回答。 “您就呆在英國(guó)嗎？”我問(wèn)。 “不，”她回答。 失望之中我問(wèn)她飯是否吃得滿(mǎn)意。 “年輕人，”她回答說(shuō)，“如果你多吃點(diǎn)，少說(shuō)點(diǎn)，我們兩個(gè)都會(huì)吃得好的！”
