To prove his point，he said to the waiter,“The dinosaur，please.”
“好的，先生，”服務(wù)員回答說:“您要的恐龍是做得嫩點(diǎn)還是老點(diǎn)兒的?”
“Yes，sir，“answered the waiter.”And how would you like it cooked?"
“老點(diǎn)兒的。”
"Well done!"
服務(wù)員離開了，又很快回來了。“對(duì)不起，先生，我們的恐龍菜剛賣完。”
The waiter left and returned quickly.“I'm sorry, sir，but we've just run out of a dinosaur.”
“什么?”顧客氣憤地說:“沒有恐龍?”
" What?" said the diner with feigned disappointment."No dinosaur?"
那服務(wù)員低聲地說:“我們的確還剩一些。”他顯得作常自信的樣子。“但恐龍肉有點(diǎn)兒不太鮮了，所以我們還是不給您上這道菜的好。”
The waiter lowered his voice. "Well，we do have some left，“he whispered confidentially,"...but it's not very fresh and I won't serve it!”
