 本期内容:

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost muchless, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shopand sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water infront of him.

故事发生在当一份圣代冰激凌比今天便宜得多的日子里,一个10岁的小男孩走进了一家咖啡馆并找了个桌坐下了。服务员为他端上了一杯水。

"How much is an ice cream sundae?"

"一份圣代冰激凌多少钱?"小男孩问。

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.

"50美分。"服务员回答道。

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it. "How muchis a dish of plain ice cream?" he required.

小男孩把手从兜里拿了出来,认证地数着手里的许多枚硬币。"那一份普通冰激凌多少钱?"小男孩询问道。

Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient."Thirty-fivecents," she said rudely. The little boy again counted the coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream,"he said.

服务员变得有些不耐烦了。"35美分"她答道。小男孩再次数了数手中的硬币。"给我来份普通冰激凌吧。" 小男孩说。


The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finishedthe ice cream, paid the bill and departed.

服务员端上了冰激凌,将账单放在桌子上后就走开了。小男孩吃完了冰激凌,把钱付给了收银员后,离开了。

When the waitress came back, she began wiping down the table and then swallowed hard atwhat she saw.

当服务员回来开始擦那个桌子的时候,为她眼前所看到的感到难以置信。

There, placed nearly beside the empty dish, were two five-cent coins and five one-cent coins---her tip.


就在那盘子旁边,整齐的摆放着15美分,那是小男孩留给她的小费!
