dessertdessertAnd what dessert do you want? These cookies are so delicate. Can I take some away? I'm sorry, sir. You can't take away any food here. If you like the pastry, you can buy it. Can you pack it for me? A: Would you like anything else? B: No, thank you. Can I have my bill, please? A: Yes, sir. Here it is. B: Could you pick up the two dishes? A: Yes.
(John and Morgan are talking about packing up.) John: Morgan, can I ask you a question? Morgan: Sure, what is it? John: I was just wondering if many Chinese people take their leftover food home from a restaurant. Morgan: In most cities inChina, doggie bags are quite uncommon. John: What happens to all the leftover food? Morgan: It usually goes to the dump. John: That seems like an awful waster! Why don't people order fewer dishes so that they don't have to throw so much away at the end of the meal? Morgan: Ordering a lot of food at restaurants is just a tradition inChina. You know, in the past, people could not afford to eat out like they can today. John: I guess that makes sense. I just think it would make more sense to take the leftovers home. Morgan: Well, if you want, you can take the leftovers home. |
