Mr. and Mrs. Smith have always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past，staying in a small inn at the foot of a hill. One year，Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business，so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went travelling around that famous city.
They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They thought that they would have to go to bed hungry，because in that small inn in New Jersey，no meals were served after seven. They were surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night.
“Are you still serving dinner？”asked Mr. Smith.
“Yes，certainly，sir，”answered the man.“We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning，lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon，tea from four to five，and dinner from six to half past nine.”
“But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London，”said Mrs. Smith.

参考译文
过去，史密斯夫妇夏天总是在新泽西州度假，他们住在一家位于山脚下的小旅馆里。有一年，史密斯先生做生意挣了很多钱。于是他们决定去伦敦度假，而且当他们在这座名城四处游览时，要住在真正高档的宾馆里。
他们飞往伦敦，到达宾馆时已经很晚了。他们以为只能饿着肚子上床睡觉了，因为在新泽西州的小旅馆里，一过7点就没有晚餐供应了。他们没有料到大厅里的接待人员还问他们晚上要不要在宾馆进餐。
“现在你们还供应晚餐吗？”史密斯先生问。
“当然，先生，”接待人员答道，“我们早上从7点到11点半供应早餐，12点到下午3点供应午餐，4点到5点供应茶点，6点到9点半供应晚餐。”
“可这样我们就几乎没有任何时间游览伦敦的名胜了。”史密斯太太说。
