美語會話 88 lazy Susan 旋轉(zhuǎn)臺

Emily: Oh. It looks like Jack is going to make his annual speech.

Joice: Couldn't he wait until we're finished eating?

Emily: Yeah. I'm still hungry, but I guess it's kind of rude to keep eating while he's talking, huh?

Joice: Can you even hear what he's saying?

Emily: No. He's so far away I can hardly see him! Let's keep eating!

Joice: Can you turn the lazy Susan for me? I want some more chicken.

Emily: All that's left is a leg. I gave the head to Tim!

艾蜜莉：對啊。我肚子還很餓，可是他邊說我們邊吃，好象有點不禮貌吧?
