941　Will it be long? 要等很久吗？

When my wife and I showed up at a very popular restaurant, it was crowded. My wife went up to the hostess and asked, “Will it be long?” The hostess, ignoring her, kept writing in her book. My wife again asked, “How much of a wait?” The woman looked up. “About ten minutes.” A short time later we heard an announcement over the loudspeaker: “Willette B. Long, your table is ready.”

我和太太进到一家很受欢迎的餐馆的时候，里面满是人。我太太走到前面问女招待“Will it be long（要等很久吗）？”那个女招待没有理她，低头在她的本子上写。我太太又问：“要等多久？”女招待抬起头来说：“大约十分钟。”过了一会儿，我们听见喇叭里叫喊：“Willette B. Long，你们的桌子好了。”
