    Was Mrs. Rumbold a good companion at dinner?
    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!"
    參考譯文
    在上星期的宴會上,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、表情嚴肅的女人,穿一件緊身的黑衣服。當我在她身旁坐下來的時候,她甚至連頭都沒有抬一下。她的眼睛盯著自己的盤子,不一會兒就忙著吃起來了。我試圖找個話題和她聊聊。
    “一出新劇要來‘環(huán)球劇場’上演了,”我說,“您去看嗎?”
    “不,”她回答。
    “您今年去國外度假嗎?”我又問。
    “不,”她回答。
    “您就呆在英國嗎?”我問。
    “不,”她回答。
    失望之中我問她飯是否吃得滿意。
    “年輕人,”她回答說,“如果你多吃點,少說點,我們兩個都會吃得好的!”
