　　Good afternoon, gentlemen. What can I get you? the man behind the bar asked. 

　　Joe looked at Fred and said, Beer, I think. Yes, a pint⁴ of beer each. Is that all right for you, Fred? 

　　Yes, that's all right. Fred said. Then he turned to the man behind the bar and said, And I want it in a clean glass! Don't forget that. 

　　The man behind the bar filled the glasses and brought them to Joe and Fred. Then he said. Which of you asked for the clean glass?

　　下午好，先生。你们想要点什么？柜台后面的伺应问道。 

　　乔看了看佛瑞德说：我想，啤酒吧。对了，每人一品脱啤酒。这样可以吗，佛瑞德？
