A Diplomatic Way
A man enters a restaurant, takes a seat, and, instead of using the napkin (餐巾), takes the table cloth from the table and tucks (围) it around his neck.
The head waiter sees it and tells a waiter to go and tell him, in a diplomatic (策略的) way that what he did was incorrect.
The waiter goes to the man and says, “Good day to you, sir. Would you like a shave or a haircut?”
讲究策略
一个男子走进一家餐厅坐了下来，他没有用餐巾，而是从桌上拿起桌布围到脖子上。
领班看见了，就告诉服务员去策略地告诉那个人做得不正确。
服务员走过去，对那个人说：“你好，先生，你要修面呢还是理发？”

Why Is Tom Sitting in the Sun?

Tom: That’s why I must sit here, Mum. I am waiting for the sun to dry my shirt.
妈妈：汤姆，你为什么坐在太阳底下？天太热你正流汗，你的衬衫都湿了。

It Is Unfair
Mother: Get up, Kate. It’s seven o’clock. The sun is up and you are still in bed.
Kate: Yes, Mum. But the sun goes to bed before six and I go to bed after nine.
不公平
妈妈：起床了，凯特，七点钟了，太阳都升起来了，你还躺在床上。
凯特：是的，妈妈。但是太阳六点没到就上床睡觉了，而我却是九点钟后睡的。
