·课文
Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.
'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it ?'
'No,' she answered.
'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year ?' I asked.
'No,' she answered.
'Will you be staying in England?' I asked.
'No,' she answered.
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
'Young man,' she answered,' if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!'

be busy doing sth. 忙于做某事
be busy with sth. 忙于某事
try to do sth. 尝试做某事：努力去完成某个任务或实现某个目标
is coming to "The Globe" 表达未来的时态，"The Globe" 意思是环球剧院
will you be seeing it 将来进行时，将某时正在进行，确定要发生的将来，但在口语中使用将来进行时表示的是委婉的询问说法，你去看它吗？
whether，是否，引出从句，在课文中做 asked 的直接宾语，所以是宾语从句，I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.（直接宾语指物，间接宾语指人）
