抱怨complain[英][kəm'pleɪn] [美][kəmˈplen] 中英文小故事：没有什么好抱怨的 一天，苏珊在回家的路上碰见了一位老朋友丽莎。 她们好长时间没见面了，于是苏珊对丽莎说：“咱们有好多话要说，找家小餐馆，喝杯茶，吃点小点心，边吃边聊吧。” 丽莎同意了，于是两人一起走进了一家小餐馆。 苏珊对女招待说：“我们要两块蛋糕和一壶茶。” 女招待记下她们点的东西便离开了。 很快，女招待给她们送上了蛋糕和一壶茶。苏珊一眼就看出蛋糕一块大一块小。不过.她表现得十分礼貌。她端起一小盘蛋糕放到丽莎面前。 “吃块蛋糕吧，丽莎。”她说道。 “谢谢，你先来。”丽莎回答说。 “不，不，你先吃。”苏珊接着说。 “好吧，”丽莎说。然后她便拿起了那块大一点的蛋糕。 苏珊很生气地说道：“你竟然自己拿了那块大蛋糕，太不懂礼貌了吧。” “没有啊，”丽莎说，“那你说，如果你先吃蛋糕的话，你会选哪一块？” “当然是那块小的。”苏珊回答道。 “就是嘛。你看，这块小的不是在你面前吗？你还有什么好抱怨的？” Nothing to Complain About One day Susan met one of her friends —Lisa on her way home.
