致9号桌的女士和您的孩子 　　I did not introduce myself to you. My name is Tony Posnanski. I have been a restaurant manager for fifteen years now. My day consists of making sure my restaurant runs well. That could mean washing dishes， cooking and sometimes even serving tables. I have also dealt with every guest complaint you can imagine. 　　我还没有向你们介绍过我自己。我叫托尼?波斯南斯基。我做饭店经理已经十五年了。我每天的工作就是保证我的饭店运作良好。这意味着我需要洗碗、烹饪，有时甚至还要接待顾客。同时，我还得处理所有你们能想象得到的顾客投诉。 　　A few weeks back you came into my restaurant. I was very busy that night. I was running around helping cook food in the kitchen. I was asked to talk to a table close to yours. I did and they said your child was being very loud.

In fact， you were quite sincere1. Your daughter could not have been more than five years old. She was beautiful and looked scared that I was at the table. She looked like she thought she was in trouble. 　　您问这个问题时并不粗鲁。事实上，您是如此地真诚。您的女儿应该不超过5岁，她长得很漂亮。看见我站在桌旁，她似乎很害怕，仿佛觉得自己有麻烦了。 　　In fifteen years I do not have a lot of memorable2 moments as a restaurant manager. I remember some guests who were mad that their burger was not the way they wanted it. I remember a woman who called corporate on me because she said I gave her a regular Coke instead of a Diet Coke. I remember having to keep people from drinking alcohol3 and I remember having to tell tables to have their child be quieter. 　　在这15年里，作为一个饭店经理，我并没有
