I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'

我正在餐馆吃晚饭，托尼·斯蒂尔走了进来。 托尼几年前在律师事务所工作，现在改在银行上班。他薪水不错，却总向朋友借钱，而且从来不还。 托尼看见我，就过来坐在同一张桌旁。他还从没向我借过钱。 他吃饭的时候，我开口向他借了二十英镑。让我意外的是，他马上把钱给了我。 托尼说：“我从来没向你借过钱，所以现在你可以替我付饭钱了！”
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《礼尚往来》：餐馆碰面 → 熟悉他的习惯 → 坐到同一桌 → 我先开口借钱 → 原来要我请客。再借一个结构讲自己的事：用本课人物重述一次，再把人物和意外情况换成自己。
