翻譯 Translation
Xiaoshi: Mark, why did you let the waiter take away your meal?
Mark: Because I’m full.
Xiaoshi: Are you full? But you still left a lot on the plate.
Mark: Well, I was so hungry when I ordered, so I may have ordered too much by accident.
Xiaoshi: Before ordering, you should think about how much you want to eat; otherwise it would be a waste of food.
Mark: Will it? But I paid for it!
Xiaoshi: There is a saying in Taiwan that if you don’t finish the rice in the bowl, your future husband or wife will have pimples on their face.
Mark: Alright! I will cherish food in the future.
