Mr Reece was a farmer. He and his wife grew a lot of things and they had a few cows. They worked very hard. One day, Mr Greece said to his wife, “Let’s go to Portsmouth next Sunday. We can have a good lunch there, and then we can go to the cinema.”
里斯先生是一个农夫。他和他的妻子种植了许多东西,他们还有几头奶牛。他们干活很卖力。一天,里斯先生对他的妻子说:“下星期天咱们去朴次茅斯吧。我们可以在那儿吃顿丰盛的午餐,然后我们可以去电影院看电影。”
His wife was very happy when she heard this, because she and her husband always ate a lot, and she did not like cooking three times a day every day.
他的妻子听到后非常高兴,因为她和她的丈夫总是吃许多饭,她不喜欢每天都做三顿饭。
They went to Portsmouth by train and walked about for an hour. Then, when it was 12 o’clock, they wanted to have a meal. They looked at several restaurants. In one of them there was a notice outside: “Lunch: 12:30 to 2:30: £1.50”
他们坐火车去了朴次茅斯,步行了大约一小时。后来,12点的时候,他们想吃饭。他们看了几家饭店。在其中一家饭店,外面有一个牌子:“午饭: 12:30 – 2:30: 1.50英镑。”
“Well, that’s good,” Mrs Reece said. “We can eat for two hours for £1.50 here. This is the place for us.”
“哦,那样好,”里斯夫人说。“在这儿花1.5英镑我们可以吃两个小时。这个地方正适合我们。”
