The farm’s wife brought in some cold meat and fried potatoes, and the two men ate again. 雇员同意了。农场主的妻子端进来一些冷肉和油炸土豆。于是,两个人又开始吃起来。 When they had finished, the cheap farmer said, “While we’re still at the table, let’s have supper too.”They were now served steak, boiled potatoes and mixed vegetables, and they ate once more. 吃完后,吝啬鬼说:“既然我们还在桌子边,让我们连晚饭也吃了吧。”这次上桌的有排骨、煮土豆和杂烩青菜。于是两个人又吃起来。 “Now that the meals are out of the way, ” the farmer announced, “we can go out and work all day without interruption. ” “现在三顿饭都吃过了,”农场主宣称道,“我们便可以出去一整天不停地干活了。” “Oh, no,” the farmhand answered. “I never work after supper.” “哦,不,”那帮手回答说,“晚饭后我从不工作。” 英语单词: penny-pinching n. 小气adj. 小气的,吝啬的 nuisance n. 讨厌的人;损害;麻烦事;讨厌的东西 boil n. 沸腾,煮沸vt. 煮沸,烧开;使…激动;使…蒸发 interruption n. 中断;干扰;中断之事 http://meiwen.anslib.com/
