Question

Once an Englishman was in Italy.He could speak little Italian.One day while he was walking in the street, he felt hungry and went into a restaurant.When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips.In this way, he meant to say, “Bring me something to eat.” But the waiter brought him a lot of things to drink.First tea, then coffee, then milk, but no food.

The Englishman was sorry that he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry.He was ready to leave the restaurant when another man came in.The man put his hands on his stomach, and this body language was good enough for the waiter.In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat.

Finally the Englishman had his meal in the same way.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】Three

【2】Because he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry.

【3】I can put my hands on stomach.

【解析】

本文讲述了一个英国人到意大利餐馆吃饭，用英国的肢体语言来表达想要吃饭，但是那位服务员没有看懂。当他学另一个人把手放在肚子上，表示要吃饭时，他吃到了食物。因此不同国家的肢体语言是不同的。

【1】根据文中提到的人有an Englishman，the waiter和another man，一共有三个人，故此处为Three。

【2】根据The Englishman was sorry that he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry.可知那个英国人感到抱歉，是因为他无法告诉那个服务员他饿了，故为Because he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry.

【3】根据 man put his hands on his stomach, and this body language was good enough for the waiter.In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat.可知在意大利想要吃饭，要用的肢体语言就是把手放在肚子上，故为I can put my hands on stomach.
