英語笑話:Waiter 服務生

An angry customer in a restaurant said this to a waiter. "What's the meaning of this cockroach in my soup?"

He replied, "Sir，I'm a waiter, not a fortune-teller."

Notes:

1. An angry customer in a restaurant said this to a waiter.

在餐廳里，一位生氣的顧客對一位服務生這樣說道：

customer [?k?st?m?(r)] n.顧客

restaurant [?restr?nt] n.餐廳

waiter [?we?t?(r)] n.(男)服務生

2. "What's the meaning of this cockroach in my soup?"

“這只蟑螂在我的湯里是什么意思?”

"What's the meaning of...?"有兩個意思：①真的不了解某件事的意思,而去請教別人;②表示自己已經(jīng)生氣了,一種抗議的表現(xiàn)。

meaning [?mi:n??] n.意思

cockroach [?k?kr??t?] n.蟑螂

3. He replied, "Sir，I'm a waiter, not a fortune-teller."

他回答;“先生，我是服務生，不是算命先生。”

與算命相關的詞有：fortune-telling (算命)、to have one's Fortune told(給人算命)。

服務生不知道是裝傻還是真的傻。在西方有些很特別的算命方法，如看杯底的咖啡渣算命等，也許他以為看湯里蟑螂是一種新的算命方法吧!

fortune-teller [?f?:t??n?tel?] n.算命師

fortune-telling ['f?:t?u:nt'el??] n. 算命
