295　The Other Half 那半个人

A couple of signs posted at my restaurant read “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service” and “Only Complete Parties Will Be Seated.” I was training an overly eager new hostess, when a couple and their toddler son walked in. “Can we get a table for two and a half?” joked the husband. “I'm sorry,” said my hostess, pointing to the signs, “but we'll seat you as soon as the other half shows up.”

在我的餐馆门口贴着两张告示。一张是：“不穿鞋和衬衣者不予接待”，另一张是：“人到齐以后方予安排座位”。我正在训练一个过分热情的女招待的时候来了一对夫妻和他们刚会走的儿子。那个丈夫开玩笑说：“我们是不是可以要一张两个半人的桌子？”那位女招待指着那两张告示说：“对不起，等你们那半个人来了以后马上给你们安排座位。”
