My friend Ann and I were eating at a Chinese restraurant. When an elderly waiter set chopsticks at our places, Ann made a point of reaching into her purse and pulling out her own pair. "As an environmentalist, " she declaired,"I do not approve of desdroying bamboo forest for throughaway utensils."
The waiter inspected her chopsticks. "Very beautiful," he said politely, "Ivory."

我和我的朋友安在一家中國餐館吃飯。 當一位年長的服務員在我們的桌上設置筷子時,安特意把手伸進她的錢包,拿出她自己的一雙。 “作為一名環保主義者,”她宣稱,“我不讚成將竹林毀壞作為一次性餐具。”
服務員檢查了她的筷子。 “非常漂亮,”他禮貌地說,“象牙做的。”
