Gallant Effort 殷勤

At a dinner party a shy young man had been trying to think of something nice to say to his hostess. At last he saw his chance when she turned to him and remarked, "What a small appetite you have tonight, Mr. Jones."

"To sit next to you," he replied gallantly, "would cause any man to lose his appetite."

在一次晚餐聚會上，一位靦腆的年青人一直在冥思苦想對女主人說一些好聽的話。機會總于來了，女主人轉向他說：“瓊斯先生，您今晚的飯量太小了。”

“坐在您身邊，”他殷勤的說道，“任何男人都會失去胃口的。”
