Gallant Effort 殷勤

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."

在一次晚餐聚會(huì)上，一位靦腆的年青人一直在冥思苦想對(duì)女主人說(shuō)一些好聽(tīng)的話。機(jī)會(huì)總于來(lái)了，女主人轉(zhuǎn)向他說(shuō)：“瓊斯先生，您今晚的飯量太小了。”

“坐在您身邊，”他殷勤的說(shuō)道，“任何男人都會(huì)失去胃口的。”
