Would you like to refresh yourself?
要不要上厕所?
(下午，在会议室里，谈话正好告一段落，也到了休息时间。提姆主任请张先生享用咖啡、蛋糕及点心。)
Tim： They just brought in refreshments. Please help yourself.
茶点已经准备好了，请用。
Mr.Zhang： Thank you.
谢谢。
张先生想在吃茶点前先去厕所，所以当提姆主任说：
Tim： Would you like to refresh yourself?
以为提姆再次请他去享用refreshments(茶点)的张先生说：
Mr.Zhang： Thank you， but before that I would like to go to the rest room.
谢谢，但是我想先去洗手间。
Tim： Of course. This way.
请往这边。
(提姆露出诧异的神色一边说着，一边告诉张先生厕所的位置。)
【Note】
“Would you like to refresh yourself?”、“Would you like to wash your hands?”与“Would you like to go to the rest room?”是同样的意思，乃委婉地表示“你想不想上厕所?”之意。它另外还有“一鼓作气”的含意。
