江苏省扬州市2021届高三下学期期初调研考试英语试题
Balthazar is my pride. It is a French brasserie in New York City. I have run it for twenty years. Though it is intended to attract people from all walks of life, most of its regular customers are those who work in the companies alongside Wall Street.
One night at Balthazar, four Wall Street businessmen ordered the restaurant's most expensive red wine: a $2,000 bottle of Chateau Mouton Rothschild, the most famous brand of Bordeaux. One of the two waiters transferred the Bordeaux into a fancy glass container at the waiter's counter.
Meanwhile, a young couple ordered the restaurants cheapest red wine, an $1 8 pinot noir. Usually, people who ordered pinot noir poured the wine directly into their glasses, but this couple insisted the wine be poured into a fancy glass container before they drank.
These two very different wines were now in the same containers.
Mistaking the $ 18, wine for the $2,000 Rothschild, the first waiter poured the cheap wine for the businessmen. The businessman hosting the other three considered himself a wine expert. He took a taste of the cheap wine in the first place, and showing off, he burst into delight about its purity. "Fantastic!" he claimed.
The young couple, who ordered the $18 pinot noir, were then unintentionally served the $2,000 Rothschild by the second waiter. On taking their first drink of what they believed was cheap wine, they jokingly pretended to be drinking an expensive wine and copied all the behaviors of a wine expert, shaking the wine glasses, observing the liquid inside and tasting it slowly, totally fascinated.
Five minutes later, the two waiters discovered their error, and horrified, phoned me at home.
