Last week at a dinner party， the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large，

unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed

on her plate and in a short time， she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.

'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon，' I said. 'Will you be seeing it？'

'No，' she answered.

'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year？' I asked.

'No，' she answered.

'Will you be staying in England？' I asked.

"No，" she answered.

In despair， I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.

"Young man，' she answered， 'if you ate more and talked less， we would both enjoy our dinner！"

‘Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?’ I asked.

‘No,’ she answered.

‘Will you be staying in England?’I asked.

‘No,’ she answered.

In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.

Whether 引导的这句话实际上是把引号去掉转述过来的，原句是：

Are you enjoying your dinner?

‘Young man, ’ she answered, ‘if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!’ “if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner" 是对现实情况的假设。 事实上应该是：But, you are talking too much. So both of us are not enjoying our dinner.

ate more and talked less 结构非常简洁，形成鲜明对比

egEvery one wants to earn more and work less. 每个人都想多赚钱，少干活。

egSome students hope to play more and study less. 有些学生希望多玩少学习。

Special Difficulties用 make 和 do 的正确形式填空：

1He a mistake and I told him to the exercise again.

2He does business in Australia and makes a lot of money.

3I know you are doing your best but you are not making very much progress.

4After I had made the beds, I went out and did some shopping.
