A guy walked into a restaurant and ordered soup1. It took a while before the soup arrived, and when it arrived, it was too hot. While waiting for the soup, the guy started feeling he had to go to the bathroom. "Now, while I am in the bathroom, somebody might just come and drink the soup." thought the guy.
Then he had this flash2 of insight3, and he pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote, "I spat into the soup!"
After putting the sign right next to the soup, our clever guy ran joyfully to the bathroom.
When he returned, he saw an addition in pencil underneath4 what he wrote:
Me too!

一個(gè)小伙子走進(jìn)餐館吃飯時(shí)點(diǎn)了一份湯,等了好久湯才上來(lái),而且湯上桌時(shí)非常燙。在等著湯涼一點(diǎn)時(shí),他突然想上衛(wèi)生間了。
“要是我現(xiàn)在上衛(wèi)生間,別人也許就會(huì)來(lái)喝我的湯了?!彼@樣想著。
然后,他突然閃過(guò)一個(gè)念頭,拿出一張紙和一支筆寫(xiě)道:“我在湯里吐了唾沫!”
在把紙條放在湯碗邊上后,我們這個(gè)聰明的小伙開(kāi)心地跑去衛(wèi)生間了。
當(dāng)他回來(lái)時(shí),他看到自己寫(xiě)的字下面用鉛筆加了一行字:
“我也吐了!”

西餐中的湯一般分為清湯和濃湯。清湯是用牛肉或雞肉或魚(yú)及蔬菜等煮制出的除去脂肪的湯。濃湯是加入面粉、黃油、奶油、蛋黃等制作出來(lái)的湯。西餐湯風(fēng)味別致,花色多樣,世界各國(guó)都有其著名的代表性湯,如法國(guó)的洋蔥湯、意大利的蔬菜湯、俄羅斯的羅宋湯、美國(guó)的奶油海鮮巧達(dá)湯等。
