Diologue
Molly : Why are you running around like a chicken with its head cut off?
Gordon: I am hosting a manager from overseas. She told me she doesn't like Chinese food. Where can I take her?
Molly : I'll give you a hint. Try western restaurants inside major hotels.
Gordon: Will they have a good selection?
Molly : Don't fret. Most big hotels have at least two western restaurants.
Gordon: I didn't know that.
Molly : You sure are a newbie. But after hosting your first oversea manager, you will be an expert.
Gordon: Thanks a bunch. I don't know what I would do without you.
Molly : I do. You would run around like a chicken with its head off.
莫莉：你为什么像只没头苍蝇似的慌里慌张的？
戈登：我正在招待一位国外来的经理。她告诉我她不喜欢中国菜，我该带她到哪去？
莫莉：我给你个提议。试试大饭店里的西餐厅。
戈登：那有很多选择的余地吗？
莫莉：别担心，大多数大饭店最少有两家西餐厅。
戈登：我不知道这个。
莫莉：你确实是个新手，不过招待完一次外国经理，你就成行家了。
戈登：多谢。真不知道没有你我该怎么办。
莫莉：我知道。你会像只没头苍蝇似的跑来跑去。
