Food and talk

Last week at a dinner-party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs Rumbold.
Mrs Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even
look up when I took my seat beside her.Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a
short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.
' A new play is coming to" The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it ?'
' No,' she answered.'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year ?' I asked.
' No,' she answered.' Will you be staying in England?' I asked.
' No,' she answered.In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
' Young man,' she answered,' if you ate more and talked less, we would both
enjoy our dinner !'

ask sb to do sth祈使句
next to：與......相鄰sit next to me 座我旁邊
the film will be on那部電影即將要上映
用虛擬語氣：
1、與現在事實相反，從句使用一般過去時，主句使用would＋動詞原形
if you ate more and talked less，we would both enjoy our dinner
if it rained，it would not be hot如果下雨，就不會這么熱
if you help me，i will be grateful如果你幫我，我會感激你
