【原文】 Lesson 78: Five pounds too dear Through a friend I discovered a delightful restaurant where you can eat to your heart"s content for a modest sum. It is clean, comfortable and quite cheap. You pay only what you think the meal is worth. The remarkable thing about this restaurant is the fact that it has been doing business in the same place for over fifty years. The name of the old man who owns it is Giorgio. It is difficult to understand how he makes a profit when he charges so little for his excellent meals. Giorgio is well over seventy but he continues to do most of the cooking himself. I was surprised to learn that he has only one assistant. He is a cheerful, amusing character who wanders round the restaurant talking to his customers. When I last ate there, he insisted on offering me a second helping. Noticing that I had left the skin of my chicken, he cried, "What"s the matter, wasn"t the chicken good?" When I told him that I had enjoyed the meal, he looked even more disappointed than before. I then learnt that I had committed an unforgivable sin: I had neglected to eat what, in Giorgio"s eyes, was the best part!

【中文翻译】
通过一个朋友，我发现了一个令人愉快的餐馆，你可以以一笔适度的费用尽情享受美食。这里干净、舒适而且价格公道。你只需付你认为这顿饭值得的钱。这家餐馆最引人注目的是它在同一个地方经营了五十多年。拥有它的老人名叫乔治奥。很难理解他如何在为他的优秀饭菜收取如此低廉的费用时还能盈利。
乔治奥已经过了七十岁但他依然大部分时间亲自做饭。我惊讶地发现他只有一个助手。他是一个快乐逗人笑的角色，游荡在餐馆里与顾客交谈。我上次在那里吃饭时，他坚持要提供给我第二份。注意到我没有吃鸡皮，他叫道，“怎么了，鸡不好吃吗?”当我告诉他我很喜欢这顿饭时，他看起来比以前更失落了。然后我知道我犯了一个不可原谅的错误：我忽视了在乔治奥眼里最好的部分!
下面我们来解读一下其中的关键单词：
1.“delightful”这个词在英语中表示“令人愉快的，让人高兴的”，在这里用来形容这家餐馆给人带来的感觉。
2. “modest”此处是“适度的，不过分的”的意思。这里用来形容在这家餐馆吃饭的费用。
3. “unforgivable”意为“不可原谅的”，表示作者没有吃鸡皮在乔治奥看来是一件非常严重的事情。
