Mr and Mrs Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey (新泽西) in
the past, staying
in a small inn (旅店) at the foot of a hill.
One
year, however, Mr Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to
go to London and
stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around
that famous city.
They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late
one evening. They had expected that they would have
to go to bed hungry,
because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They
were
surprised when the waiter asked whether they would take dinner there
that night. "Are you still serving dinner?"
asked Mr Smith. "Yes, certainly,
sir," answered the waiter. "We serve it until half past nine."
"What
are the times of meals then?" asked Mr Smith. "Well, sir," answered the waiter.
"We serve breakfast
from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from
twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to
five, and dinner from six
to half past nine."
"But that hardly leaves any time for us to see
the sights of London." said Mr Smith.
