980　Fitzwater is not water Fitzwater 不是一种饮料

My wife and I were having lunch at a fashionable eatery when we noticed what looked like a familiar face at the next table. Screwing up my courage, I asked, “Excuse me. Aren't you Marlin Fitzwater, the former White House press secretary?” “Yes, I am,” he acknowledged, and graciously interrupted his lunch to talk to us. As we were leaving the restaurant, I remarked to the hostess, “Do you know you have Marlin Fitzwater on the terrace?” “I'm not sure about that,” she replied, “but we have Perrier and Evian at the bar.”

我和太太正在一家上流社会的餐厅吃午饭，注意到邻桌有一张熟悉的脸。我鼓足勇气问：“你是以前的白宫新闻秘书Marlin Fitzwater吗？”他承认说：“是我。”并且非常和蔼地停下他的午餐，和我们交谈。在我们要离开餐厅的时候，我对女招待说：“你知不知道你们平台上有Marlin Fitzwater？”她回答说：“这个我不清楚。不过我们酒吧里有Perrier和Evian。”（Perrier和Evian是名牌矿泉水。女招待以为Fitzwater也是一种什么水。）
