Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold.

She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her.
當(dāng)我在她身旁坐下來的時候，她甚至連頭都沒有抬一下。
Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating.

I tried to make conversation.
我試圖找個話題和她聊聊。
'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?'
“一出新劇要來‘環(huán)球劇場’上演了，”我說，“您去看嗎？”
'No,' she answered.

“年輕人，”她回答說，“如果你多吃點(diǎn)，少說點(diǎn)，我們兩個都會吃得好的！”
