經典趣味英語小故事：漫無邊際的菜單
A man dirning with a friend explained the peculiarities of the restaurant they were in:"The waiters never admit they don't have something. They'll take your order. for a slice of sun and too away as if they mean to get they'll come back and say they just ran out.”
一位和朋友吃飯的男士解釋他們在飯館裏吃飯的怪現象時說:“服務員從未承認過他們沒有什麼萊。假如你想要一份太陽，他們也會拿着菜單離去，好像真能給你弄來似的。然後，他們回來說這道菜剛賣完。”爲了證明這一點，我說:“請來一份恐龍。”
To prove his point，he said to the waiter,“The dinosaur，please.”
“好的，先生，”服務員回答說:“您要的恐龍是做得嫩點還是老點兒的?”
“Yes，sir，“answered the waiter.”And how would you like it cooked?"
“老點兒的。”
"Well done!"
服務員離開了，又很快回來了。“對不起，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.”
“什麼?”顧客氣憤地說:“沒有恐龍?”
" What?" said the diner with feigned disappointment."No dinosaur?"
那服務員低聲地說:“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," it's not very fresh and I won't serve it!”

As soon as he got home on Fridays，his wife used to make hirn give her all his money，and then she used to give him back only enough to buy his lunch in the office every day.

"That's wonderful!"said his wife delightedly. But then she thought for a few seconds and added angrily，"But wait a moment! How could you afford to buy the ticket?".
“太棒了!”他老婆非常高興地說。但她又沉思了一會兒並氣憤地問:“你說說，你拿什麼錢買的彩票?”
