I saw that "Ente" appeared many times on the menu, but I'd never learned that word in my German classes at Yale, so I asked the waiter what "Ente" was.

我在菜单上的好几处都看到“Ente”一词，但我在耶鲁大学的德语课上从来没学过这个词，便问服务员Ente是什么。

His pantomime conveyed the meaning of Ente very effectively, but at the same time it had a magical ice-breaking effect and made the eating environment much livelier.

他的哑剧表演非常有效地把Ente的意思表达了出来，与此同时，这种身体语言带来了神奇的打破坚冰般的效果，就餐气氛活跃多了。
