新婚旅行から戻った友達の話。朝食ビュッフェで目玉焼きをオーダーしたかったのに、目玉焼きの英単語が出てこず、二人の手で丸を二つ作って目玉焼きを作ったらしい。笑 想像すると面白い。おそらく新婚旅行初の二人の共同作業だろう。英語は必要だと言われているが旅行ではしゃべれないくらいのほうが、おもしろ体験ができるかもしれない。
そんな彼女からもらったお土産のチョコ。スペイン、イタリア、近隣のコンビニでゲットした日本産を食べ比べ。どこの国もおいしい。
天にも昇る気持ちだ。
この話を友人に話したらまた味のある話をしてくれた。
彼女の友人のコリアンカップルはビーフとチキンのスープをシンガポールで注文した際、単語を忘れ、チキンとビードとい言ったが、ウェイターは推測しようとしたがわからなかったそう。
なので彼女は手で手羽先を作り、ウェイターは「オー、チキンね!」と言った。
一方男性のほうはビーフをオーダーするのに「モーモー」と言って牛の鳴きまねをしたそう。「ああ、ビーフね!」とウェイターは言った。とのこと。
上には上がいるものだ。
海外での面白体験はつきない。
This is a story of my friend who has just came back from her honeymoon.
She wanted to order a sunny-side up but the words never come OUT, so my friend and her husband made two circles with their hands and gestured it. hehe.
Come to think of it, I cannot help but laugh. That might be a first collaborative work as married couple.Speaking English is must-have item but I think people who cannot speak the language fluently could have more intriguing experience than people who can speak it fluently.
Here are the souvenir chocolates from her. I am trying to eat Spain, Italy,and Japanese chocolates from a neighborhood convenience store. All of them are really good. When I am eating that, I'm walking on air.
I talked to my another friend about this story and she told me another funny story.
A Korean couple went to a noodle house in Singapore to order chicken and beef soup.
As they order they They had forgotten the English words for "chicken and beed". The waiter was trying to guess it but he didn't succeed.
So the woman started to do hand gestures imitating chicken wings.
The waiter said "Oh chic-ken!"
The man on the other hand wants to order beef and so he made a sound of a cow. "Me, Mooo!"
The waiter have guessed it at last and said, "Be-eeF!"
