Emily: Oh. It looks like Jack is going to make his annual speech.

Joice: Couldn't he wait until we're finished eating?

Emily: Yeah. I'm still hungry, but I guess it's kind of rude to keep eating while he's talking, huh?

Joice: Can you even hear what he's saying?

Emily: No. He's so far away I can hardly see him! Let's keep eating!

Joice: Can you turn the lazy Susan for me? I want some more chicken.

Emily: All that's left is a leg. I gave the head to Tim!

卤莽的

A: How rude! Stop talking with your mouth full! 真不礼貌!嘴里有东西别说话! B: Then you stopslurping your soup so loudly! 那你喝汤也别那么大声!

艾蜜莉：噢。看来杰克要发表年度演说了。

乔伊丝：他就不能等我们吃完饭吗?

艾蜜莉：对啊。我肚子还很饿，可是他边说我们边吃，好象有点不礼貌吧?

乔伊丝：你听得到他在说什么吗?

艾蜜莉：听不到。离那么远，我都快看不到他了!我们就继续吃吧!

乔伊丝：你能帮我转一下旋转餐台吗?我还要吃鸡肉。

艾蜜莉：只剩一根鸡腿。我把鸡头夹给提姆了!
