經典背誦 RecitationMayI love buffet. Better yet if it's an Italian buffet. There is one such place, downtown. It's interesting that the customers there would be charged by their only problem about it is overeating. People just don't know when to s. Anyway you can't have everything.
生詞小結bundle n. 堆，捆
notice vt. 注意
buffet n. 自助餐
cheese n. 奶酪
pudding n. 布丁
註釋cookies cost a bundle.
Bundle本意爲“一大堆”，這裏指的是“一大堆錢”，中文口語中也有相似的表達方法，例：“好貴啊，花了我一大堆錢。”
can't get everything.
get在這裏的意思是“得到”，直譯爲你不能得到每一件東西。（可見總有遺憾。）所以也較容易想到意譯應爲：做不到十全十美。
