Lesson13 A Piece of Meat

Joe Biggs was 1 a butcher 2. His shop was in a village in one of the most beautiful parts 3 of the south of England, and he worked in it for many years while 4 his father was there. Then, his father stopped working in the shop, and Joe had 5 to work harder.

One Thursday a woman came 6 into the shop five minutes before closing. "I'm sorry I'm late," she said 7, "but some people have just phoned me to say that they are going 8 to come to dinner tonight, and I need some more meat."

Joe only had one piece of good meat in the shop. He had sold 9 all the others 10 earlier in the day. He took 11 the piece out and told the woman it is £6.50.

"That piece is too small,"the woman answered. "Haven't you got 12 anything bigger?"

Joe went into the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator 13, put the piece of meat into it. After a while he took it out again and shut 14 the door of the refrigerator with a lot of noise. Then he brought 15 the piece of meat back to the woman and said, "This piece is bigger and more expensive. It's £8.75."

"Good," the woman answered with a smile. "Give me both of them, please."


一块肉

乔比格斯是个肉店老板。他的店在最美丽的英国南部的一个村庄里。他父亲在店里工作时,他已经在那里干了很多年。后来,乔的父亲不在店里做事了,乔就干得更辛苦了。

有天星期四,一位女士在关门前五分钟来到店里。“很抱歉,这么晚我才来,”她说,“但有人刚刚打电话告诉我他们今晚过来吃晚饭,所以我得再买些肉。”

乔的店里只剩下一块好肉,其他的早些时候已经卖完了。乔拿出这块肉,告诉女士应付六个半英镑。

“那块太小了,”女士说,“你没有更大些的吗?”

乔走进店后的房间,打开冰箱,把手中的肉放进去一会。过来一会,他将它拿出来,并使劲关上冰箱门,发出很大响声。他把那块肉拿给女士,说:“这块大一些,也贵一些,要八点七五英镑。”

“好的,”女士笑着回答,“请把两块肉都给我吧。”
