You are learning rhetorical questions: you will read the scene it happens in, learn 10 words and phrases, take apart the pattern behind them (rhetorical questions: 难道, 何必, 岂不是), hear them in a conversation, rehearse them, and finish by saying one thing out loud to be graded.
A late-night supper debate at Yang's Fry Dumplings (小杨生煎), the original Wujiang Road stall, Shanghai
凌晨一点,我和朋友站在小杨生煎门口排队。刚从一家人均八百的餐厅出来,现在排队买六块钱一个的生煎。朋友问:「我们刚花了那么多钱吃大餐,何必又来排队吃生煎呢?」
我说:「难道吃了大餐就不能吃生煎了吗?好吃就是好吃,跟价格没关系。」他想了想说:「也是,岂不是价格越高就越好吃?那肯定不对。」
生煎端上来了。底部焦脆,汤汁鲜美。我咬了一口,汤差点喷出来。旁边排队的阿姨笑了:「小伙子,谁说路边排档不是美食?这个味道,难道比你们吃的大餐差吗?」
我笑着摇头。确实不差。甚至可以说,这种烟火气是高级餐厅给不了的。何必把美食和价格绑在一起呢?最地道的上海味道,恐怕就在这些充满烟火气的小店里。六块钱的生煎和八百块的大餐,难道不能同样让人幸福吗?
