When I went to a country inn for lunch, an eager young hostess with a lovely French accent said, “This way, monsieur.”
我去一家乡村酒店吃午饭时，一个操着甜美的法国口音的年轻女招待热情洋溢地说：“先生，这边请。”
I’ve spent quite a bit of time in France and always welcome the opportunity to practice the language.
我已经在法国度过了相当一段时间，总是欢迎这种难得的锻炼语言的机会。
“And what is your connection with France?” I asked in French.
“你和法国有什么联系吗？”我用法语问道。
Without turning a hair, she replied in perfect English, “Oh, my parents spent their honeymoon there.”
她连头也没回，用完美的英语回答说：“噢，我父母亲曾在那里度过蜜月。”
