念音	[J-178]  Can't There Be Another Choice? 不能有另一种选择吗？ 　 A stewardess was again asking repeatedly along the aisle, “Would you like coffee or tea?”  When she came to the ninth row, a passenger was perplexed and asked her teasingly, “Can't there be another choice?” “Yes, of course,” replied the air hostess smilingly.  “You just name it and I may give it.”  The passenger then asked perplexingly, “Can't you just say ‘Would you like coffee or tea or me?’” 　 [译注] 　 某女服务员正在再一次重复地沿着走道问：「你要咖啡或茶吗？」当她来到第九排时，有位旅客很困惑，而逗惹地问她说：「不能有另一种选择吗？」「是的，当然有。」那空中小姐微笑地回答。「你只要说它的名，那么我就可能给。」那旅客于是令人困惑地问说：「你不能就说『你要咖啡或茶或我』吗？」 　 注：1. stewardess 可指车、船、飞机上的任何女服侍者，但它常常等于 air hostess (女空服员、空中小姐)。         2. row 是「排」， aisle 是排与排之间的通道。 　 [复习填充] 　 A st_______ was again asking repeatedly along the a____, “Would you like coffee or tea?”  When she came to the ninth r___, a passenger was p______ and asked her t______, “Can't there be another choice?”  “Yes, of course,” replied the air h_____ smilingly.  “You just n____ it and I may give it.”  The passenger then asked p_______, “Can't you just say ‘Would you like coffee or tea or me?'”
