one The woman sits at the dressing table and paints her eyelids blue.The man stood behind the woman and put on his dress in front of the mirror of the dressing table.Women's faces, hair, and upper body dominate one side of the mirror; men can only use a small side of the mirror to button their collars and tie bow ties.The woman said that the banquet tonight will be held in that shiny hotel in Kowloon.The woman said that in such a bright place, of course there will be many bright people attending such a bright banquet.The man was right, right, right: those shiny characters are the brightest things in Hong Kong, the brightest toys in Hong Kong, and the brightest culture in Hong Kong.The woman said of course, of course, of course, because they all have faces, names, and mouths.The man said, does it need to be said, does it need to be said?They see other people's faces from their own faces, they hear other people's names from their own names, and they taste other people's mouths from their own mouths.The woman said that they were the most knowledgeable, talkative and intelligent people.The man said but they didn't know they could sprinkle pepper on their dinner and they didn't know they could just sprinkle salt on the edge of their plate.The woman says they don't want any pepper or salt at all because they have a lot of pepper and a lot of salt in the house: why do they need pepper and salt for dinner at such a shiny party?The man said ok ok ok they don't like pepper or salt it doesn't matter because they have too much vinegar.The woman said that they attend the banquet not to eat, but to socialize and speak beautiful English, because they are all educated people, so their English is the English of educated people.Men say it’s a pity, but they can’t even tell the English spoken by educated people from the English spoken by uneducated people: uneducated people say “constipation” as binding, while educated people say constipating is uneducated Some people say "pregnant" as expecting, while educated people say pregnant. What kind of words do women say?In such a bright place, those bright characters will not talk about "constipation" and "pregnancy"!Besides, besides, they don't get constipated because they eat a lot of fruit, just as they don't get pregnant because they take a lot of birth control pills.The man said, isn't it? Isn't it? Why am I so confused!The girl said stop nagging It's getting late We must cross the sea at once; No one is late for such a sparkling party Because the journalists standing in front of the hotel can't be kept waiting too long Finally the film in the camera is used Finished.

two "Nice to meet you!" "It was a pleasure meeting you!" "I'm so excited that Prince Charles is having a boy." "Really?" "What do you think the baby should be named?" "Buckingham will announce sooner or later, I believe." "I think Hong Kong should give them a decent gift." "Should be." "The bunch of spoilers that Princess Ann said in the United States are too regrettable." "By the way, my dear, it's a pity." "What does public opinion say in London?" "The newspaper said Princess Ann's reaction was as sweet as vinegar and as sharp as a knife."

"What a clever comment!" "What a clever comment!" "Would you mind passing me that bottle of salt?" "This is my honor!" "Have you noticed that Mrs. Lee has fewer wrinkles on her face?" "I think so." "Sir Li has not been in good health recently, and he always rests at home." "I see." "I think Mrs. Wang's collar is too low. Isn't it?" "This steak is too boozy. I'm sorry I said that." "You are forgiven." "The red wine is pretty good." "Tell me, do you often attend such parties in London?"

"Accidentally. Not so starry." "What topics are you talking about? Like..." "For example: Nancy Esther, the first congresswoman in British history, had a very stiff temper. Once, she couldn't help but say to Churchill: If you were my husband, I would definitely poison your cup of coffee Churchill replied: "If you were my wife, I would definitely drink that cup of coffee!" "I like the movie star who played the young Churchill. . . . and what else?" "Also... the mistress of Edward VII of England was Lili Rowtree, a beautiful and famous woman in London. One day, Edward said to Lili: I have enough money for you, too much. Buy a battleship. Lili heard it and said: You have enough semen on me, enough to float a battleship..."

"This dessert is well done...I'm sure you'll agree with me." three The woman washes off the makeup on her face with a wad of cotton in front of the dressing table.The man is undressing.The woman said how can you talk about Edward's semen with such a shiny lady in such a shiny place.The man said my god, didn't you say that those shiny ladies have taken a lot of contraceptive pills?The woman said but I told them they don't pepper at all.The man said that he was wronged, wronged, wronged, that lady clearly asked me to hand her the salt and let her sprinkle salt on the steak.
