筷子的故事

(2022-04-09 19:58:21) 下一个

My friend Ann and I were eating at a Chinese restraurant. When an elderly waiter set chopsticks at our places, Ann made a point of reaching into her purse and pulling out her own pair. "As an environmentalist, " she declaired,"I do not approve of desdroying bamboo forest for throughaway utensils."

The waiter  inspected her chopsticks. "Very beautiful," he said politely, "Ivory."

我和我的朋友安在一家中国餐馆吃饭。 当一位年长的服务员在我们的桌上设置筷子时,安特意把手伸进她的钱包,拿出她自己的一双。 “作为一名环保主义者,”她宣称,“我不赞成将竹林毁坏作为一次性餐具。”

服务员检查了她的筷子。 “非常漂亮,”他礼貌地说,“象牙做的。”
