外國幽默小說——你應(yīng)當(dāng)多學(xué)些禮貌

英文原版

you should learn to be more polite

One day, Bill and Tom went to a restaurant for dinner. As soon as the waiter took out two steaks, Bill quickly picked out the bigger steak for himself .

Tom wasn’t happy about that: “when are you going to learn to be polite?”

Bill : “if you had the chance to pick first , which one would you pick?”( 文章閱讀網(wǎng)：www.sanwen.net )

Tom : “the smaller piece , of course.”

Bill : “what are you whining about then ? the smaller piece is what you want right ?”

你應(yīng)當(dāng)多學(xué)些禮貌

有一天，比爾和湯姆一起去餐館吃飯。當(dāng)侍者端兩個牛排擺在飯桌時，比爾毫不猶疑，迅雷不及掩耳，風(fēng)馳電掣般地為自己遴選出最大的塊，放在自己地盤里。

見此情景湯姆很不高興，譴責(zé)比爾道：“你打算什么時候?qū)W會禮貌啊?”

比爾看一眼湯姆，發(fā)現(xiàn)他對自己挑選不滿意，從而就不吝指教：“如果你有機會選擇，你會首先挑哪一塊?”

湯姆委曲求全地斜眼回答：“當(dāng)然是最小的那塊?！?/p>

比爾連忙順毛捋驢很得意順理成章地說：“那你還抱怨什么？我留給你最小的那塊就是您想要的，對嗎？”

編者按：希望他人完美無瑕，往往忽略自己齷齪的心里。
