声音简介
I was having my dinner at McDonald's one evening when an old couple slowly walked in. They ordered their meal, took a table near the window and started taking food out of the plate. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The man divided the food into two halves and carefully placed one before his wife.
He took a sip of the drink. His wife also took one and then turned the cup down between them.” That poor old couple! All they can afford is one meal for the two of them,” thought I．As the man began to eat his French fries, I rose to my feet, went over and said that I was willing to buy another meal for them. But he kindly refused me and said that they made it a habit to share everything.
Surprisingly, the lady didn’t take a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat, and taking turns sipping the drink. Again I asked to buy them something but was refused. When the man finished eating and was wiping his face with a napkin, I could no longer stand it. I made an offer to them a third time. After being politely refused, I asked the lady curiously, ”Madam, why aren’t you eating? You said that you share everything. What is it that you are waiting for?” “The teeth,” she answered.
文章大意：
某天晚上，当一对年老的夫妇缓慢地走进麦当劳时，我正吃着我的晚餐。他们点餐后，选了一张靠窗的桌子坐了下来，然后开始从餐盘里拿出他们的食物。他们点了一个汉堡，一份炸薯条和一杯饮料。老男人将食物分成两份，将其中一份小心翼翼地放在妻子面前。
他喝了一口饮料。他的妻子也喝了一口，然后把杯子放在他们中间。“这对可怜的夫妇！他们穷到只能两个人共吃一份晚餐。”我心想。当老男人开始吃他的薯条时，我站了起来，走到他们跟前，告诉他们我愿意买一份晚餐给他们。但是老男人温和地拒绝了我，告诉我说他们已经养成了分享一切的习惯了。
令我惊讶的是，老妇人一口东西也没有吃。她静静地坐在那里看她丈夫吃，两人轮流喝着饮料。我再一次上前问要不要买点吃的给他们，但他们又拒绝了我。当老男人吃完后，拿着纸巾擦脸时，我再也忍不住了。我第三次询问他们是否需要帮助。当我被这对夫妇礼貌地拒绝后，我好奇地问老妇人，“夫人，为什么你不吃点东西呢？你说你们习惯分享一切东西。那你在等什么呢？”“假牙。”老妇人回答说。
