广播电视英语短句 第 281 课：喜欢工作的理由-6

We had to pay money to the employee who led us to our table. 我们要给领我们入座的服务员小费。

The money was for a special request. Yes, it was a buy off. 这是为了得到一定的回报。是的，就算是贿赂。

The employee put us at the top of the list for a table instead of making us wait like everyone else. 服务员把我们排在等候的人们的最前面，这样我们就不用像其他人要等着。

We had a great time that night and the meal did not set me back at all. I did not have to pay anything. 那晚我们过得很愉快，吃饭也没有耽误时间。我不用付一分钱。

Because of that experience, I will always remember that nice things still happen in a world that is driven by money. 因为那次经历，我一致认为钱所带来的好事情每时每刻都在发生。

But, that is just my two cents worth. It is just my opinion. 这只是我的意见，仅代表我的观点。
