※ 引述《ahappyman (谁能给我一份安定的感觉)》之铭言：
: ha, ha... quite an experience.
: there is one time i called the hotel to make a reservation.
: i didnt expect the waiter speaking english to me, and i though he spoke weird
don't mean to be rude but I think the one who answers the phone at a hotel
is called the receptionist, instead of waiter :p
: chinese.
: after he spoke twice to me, i started to realize, oh, it was english. wa ha ha
: i felt embarrassed.
: since i had not speak in english for a while, i felt there was a stone in my
: mouth while i spoke back to him.
: i didnt react like you immediately. yet, it is a cool way to test my english.
: wa ha ha ...
