想想！” 我在厨房里救不了里奇，后来在餐桌上我也救不了他。 他买了瓶法国葡萄酒，并不知道我父母不喜欢这玩意儿， 我父母甚至连像样的红酒杯也没有。 接着他又犯了个错误：他喝了不是一杯，而是满满两大毛玻璃杯的葡萄酒，而其他人的杯子里都只有半英寸高的酒，大家只是“尝尝而已”。 最糟糕的是他批评了我妈妈的烹饪手艺，而他竟然没意识到自己做了什么。 我妈妈总是要对她自己的烹饪发表一些评论，说一些自己的菜烧得不好之类的话，这是中国厨师的习惯。 那晚她原打算说说自己的拿手菜——梅干菜蒸肉，上这个菜时她总是特别得意。 “唉，这个菜不够咸，没味道，”尝了一小口后，她抱怨道。“太难吃了。” 这新视野大学英语句话在我们家意味着让大家来尝一点，并且还要说这道菜是妈妈做得最好的一次。 但是我们还没能来得及说一些这样圆滑得体的话，里奇就说：“嗯，这菜只需要加一点点酱油。” 接着他无视我母亲惊诧的眼光，把许多咸乎乎、黑溜溜的东西倒进了瓷盘里。 虽然吃饭时，我一直希望我妈妈能从某种角度看到里奇的善良、幽默感和魅力，但是我清楚里奇在她的眼里已经是一败涂地了。 很显然，里奇对那晚有完全不同的看法。 那晚我们回到家里，安置肖莎娜上床睡觉后，他谦虚地说：“嗯，我觉得我们相处得很不错。”
