英文短篇故事（纽约）328 The Visit to Shake Shack

 　　He was in Manhattan visiting his mom. They took a walk to Madison Square Park. They saw many people in line for Shake Shack¹. He said, "This place must be good. Let's try it." She said she had never eaten there. He said, "Well, it'll be a new taste treat for both of us." They waited in line for 30 minutes. He ordered a hamburger, fries, and a shake for each of them. He ordered Shake Sauce². The clerk gave him his receipt³ and a beeper. Ten minutes later, the beeper went off. He brought their order back to their outdoor table. He dipped a fry into the Shake Sauce. It tasted like Thousand Island dressing⁴. "This sauce is nothing special," he said. A few bites later, she said, "This meal is nothing special. It's good, but it's not worth waiting 40 minutes for. All these people must be tourists."
