Once the French ambassador (大使 ) in Rome was giving a ball (舞会 ) to which many important people were invited. The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs(外交部长 ) came very late. A young lady, who was well acquainted with him, saw him enter the ball-room(舞厅 ) and asked why he was so late.
“You see,” said the Minister, “there has been a little accident at the King’s palace.”
The curious young lady asked the Minister to tell her what had happened at the King’s palace.
“Oh, nothing important,” answered the Minister. “The ambassador of Brail (巴西 ), who was to be presented to the King, forgot to take his credentials(外交使节所递的国书 ) with him and was obliged to go back to his hotel to bring them. If he had left them in Brail we should have had to wait at least six months for them.”
“Is Brail so far from Rome ？” asked the lady, who knew very little geography.
“It is in the New World ,” said the Minister.
“In the New World ？” repeated the lady in great astonishment.
“Yes, in the New World,” answered the Minister in a sarcastic(讽刺的 ) tone, “which was discovered by Christopher Columbus(哥伦布 ).”
When the young lady heard this, she rushed into the middle of the ball-room and shouted as loud as she could:
“Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the latest news？ A new world has just been discovered by a certain Christopher Columbus.”

The fork was an ancient agricultural tool， but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century， when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy， did the custom reach Europe.
By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers， “Seeing all men‘s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.
Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies， and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600‘s did using a fork become a common custom.
