“I remember the first time your Uncle Ben took me to a restaurant,”said my aunt Mary.“It was long before we were married,and I had never eaten out before.Ben had booked a table for eight o'clock,and we arrived half an hour early so that we could have a drink first.While we were sitting there drinking our cocktails (雞尾酒),the waiter brought us the menu and the wine list.Some of the dishes were very expensive,but Ben told me that I could have anything I wanted.”
“What did you order?”I asked.“I can't remember now,”replied Aunt Mary.“It was such a long time ago.Anyway,when our starters (開胃菜)were ready,the waiter showed us to our table and brought us the bottle of wine that Ben had ordered.All the food was delicious.”
“How many courses did you have?”I asked.“Four altogether,”replied Aunt Mary.“After the dessert,I could not eat another thing.We finished the meal with a cup of coffee,and the waiter brought the bill on a silver tray (盤子)and gave it to Ben.He looked very surprised when he read it,so I offered to pay the tip.”
