When I woke next morning, I was dying of
36 .I seemed to have a hole instead of a
37 I dressed quickly and hurried down to the dinning-room. It was a big room with six tall windows and the ugliest wallpaper(背景墻) I had ever seen !
38 , I had been told the hotel was not beautiful but that you were better
39 there than in any other hotel; and that was
40 I wanted just then.
The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared
41 carefully for what I must
42. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure
43 “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right
44 and I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.
The waiter asked me
45 I could not understand, but I spoke only my one prepared word “breakfast”. He looked at me in a
46 way, so I repeated it, still he did not understand. It was
47 that English people didn’t understand their language. The waiter
48 his head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter--- enough to feed a small army--- and went away. But I was hungry, and I left
49. When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little
50, but you can never
51 what a waiter’s face really shows. In another minute he brought
52 tray with some bacon(熏肉) and some eggs. He
53 have misunderstood me , but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don’t understand their own language , so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs, wondering whether I could possibly clear that plate.
Well, I finished the bacon and eggs. I got up and made my way slowly to my room-----at least five pound
54 . I never believed until then that any meal could
55 me, but on that day I met my Waterloo(滑鐵盧).
