Tim: They just brought in refreshments. Please help yourself.

　　茶点已经准备好了，请用。

　　Mr.Zhang: Thank you.

　　谢谢。

　　可是张先生想在吃茶点前先去厕所。这时候Tim说到：

　　Tim: Would you like to freshen up?

　　听到这话，张先生以为Tim再次请他去享用refreshments(茶点)：

　　Mr.Zhang: Thank you, but before that I'd like to use the restroom.

　　谢谢，但是我想先去趟洗手间。

　　Tim: Of course. This way.

　　哦，这边请。

　　Tim露出诧异的神色一边说着，一边告诉张先生厕所的位置。

　　Tim为什么会诧异呢？因为张先生把freshen up的含义给搞错了!

　　原来，"Would you like to freshen up?"、"Would you like to wash your hands?"与 "Would you like to use the restroom?" 是同样的意思，都是委婉地表示“你想不想上厕所？”之意。

　　大家可要小心使用，不要弄错哦！
