entertain招待
【笑话原文】
Room Temperature
To entertain a business partner from California last winter, I took him to a restaurant in Boston. We ordered red wine, which arrived icy cold, seemingly straight from the refrigerator. “Oh, miss,” my guest said to the waitress. “Red wine should be served at room temperature.” “Is that right?” she replied. “Then maybe you should come visit us again in July.”
【中文译文】
七月再来
去年冬天，为了招待我来自加州的生意伙伴，我带他到波士顿的一家餐馆吃饭。我们点了红葡萄酒。拿来的时候凉飕飕的，就像刚从冰箱里拿出来的。我的客人对女服务员说：“小姐，红葡萄酒应该是室温饮用。”她回答说：“是吗？那你或许应该七月份再来。”
