***Viewing and Talking*** ---录音原文--- Owner: That one’s reserved. This way please. ［to a waiter］ Take this gentleman’s order，Horace. Henry：Can I have some ham and eggs, and a nice big juicy steak with all the trimmings? And make it extra thick. Horace: It’d cost a tidy bit. Henry: That’s understood. And a long, cool tankard of ale. ［After finishing what he ordered］ Uh, waiter. Same thing again, please. Horace: Again? Henry: That’s right. And fill that up. Anything wrong? Horace: No. No, sir. ［He goes to the owner］He’s asked for another portion. Ale and all. Owner: You think he can pay? Maggie: We’ll have to chance it. Owner: Serve him, Horace. But don't spare the gristle! Horace: Ham, eggs, steak, potatoes, beans, carrots, twice, trifle, cheese, coffee, two quarts of ale… three and ten pence. Henry: Thank you. Would you mind waiting just a few minutes? Horace: What's there to wait for? Owner: Alright, Horace. Henry: That was a wonderful meal. You know, uh, it's amazing how much pleasure you get out of the simple things if you have to get along without them for a while. Owner: Very interesting. And now perhaps if you’d pay the bill I could attend to the other customers. Henry: That clock of yours, is it correct? Owner: If anything, it's fast Henry: ［To himself］Oh, it's fast. ［To owner/］How fast? Old man: Two minutes. Henry: Oh, thank you. Owner: Now I don’t wish to be unpleasant, but would you please settle the bill? Henry: I want to, but you see … Owner: The bill, please Henry: Yes, I know. The bill. owner: Exactly Henry: Well, I don’t suppose a couple of minutes will make any difference. ［After opening the envelope.］I, I'm awfully sorry but ... I don’t have anything smaller. Owner: ［After getting the bank note from Henry.］Well,uh, uh, just one moment. ［He shows the note to his wife］ Maggie, look! Maggie: Ah! Owner: Do you think It's real? Maggie: Ask Mr. Clemens. Owner: Mr. Clemens, Mr. Clemens! Mr. Clemens: What is it? Owner: Would you mind just looking at this? Do you think it's genuine? Mr. Clemens: Two notes of this denomination have been issued. But in any case, it's hardly likely to be a forgery. Maggie: Why not? Mr. Clemens: It would draw too much attention to the owner. No forger would want that. Maggie: But look at the owner, Mr. Clemens, He’s in rags. Mr. Clemens: I can only assume he’s an eccentric millionaire. owner: An eccentric millionaire! Maggie: And you put him at the back of the room! Go and attend to him at once! owner: I’m sorry, sir, but I cannot change the note. Henry: But it's all I have on me. owner: Oh, oh, please don't worry, sir. It's of no consequence, no consequence at all. We are most gratified that you should so much as set foot inside our little establishment. Indeed, sir, I trust you will come here whenever you're seeking peace and quiet. Henry: Oh, that's very good of you. Owner: Good, sir? It's good of you, sir! You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like. The mere honour of your presence is a reward in itself. Henry:I may not be passing this way for quite a while. Owner: It would be a very poor thing, sir. If I couldn’t trust a gentleman as rich as yourself, sir, even if you do play larks upon the public in the matter of dress, As for the bill, sir, please forget it, It's of no consequence, no consequence at all. Henry: Thank you very much then. That’s very nice of you. Owner: it's for us to thank you, sir. And I do, sir, from the bottom of my heart. |
