【中英】 一个干净明亮的地方

\

\不一定都是这样。这个老人干干净净。他喝啤酒来并不滴滴答答往外漏。哪怕这会儿喝醉了。你瞧他。\

\don't want to look at him. I wish he would go home. He has no regard for those who must work.\

\我才不想瞧他。我希望他回家去。他并不关心那些非干活不可的人。\

The old man looked from his glass across the square, then over at the waiters.

那老人从酒杯上抬起头来望望广场，又望望那两个侍者。

\

\再来杯白兰地，\他指着杯子说。那个着急的侍者跑了过去。

\drunken people or foreigners. \

\没啦，\他不顾什么句法地说，蠢汉在对醉汉或外国人说话时就这么说法。\今晚上没啦。打烊啦。\

\

\再来一杯，\那老人说。

\

\不，没啦，\侍者一边拿块毛巾揩揩桌沿，一边摇摇头。

The old man stood up, slowly counted the saucers, took a leather coin purse from his pocket and paid for the drinks, leaving half a peseta tip. The waiter watched him go down the street, a very old man walking unsteadily but with dignity.

老人站了起来，慢慢地数着茶托，打口袋里摸出一只装硬币的起夹子来，付了酒账，又放下半个比塞塔作小账。那个侍者瞅着他顺着大街走去，这个年纪很大的人走起路来，虽然脚步不挺稳，却很有神气。

\shutters. \

\你干吗不让他呆下来喝酒呢？\那个不着急的侍者问道。他们这会儿正在拉下百叶窗。\还不到二点半呢。\

\

\我要回家睡觉了。\

\

\一个钟头算啥？\

\

\他无所谓，我可很在乎。\

\

\反正是一个钟头。\

\ou talk like an old man yourself. He can buy a bottle and drink at home.\

\你说得就象那个老人一模一样。他可以买啤酒回家去喝嘛。\

\

\这可不一样。\

\

\是呀，这是不一样的。\那个有老婆的侍者表示同意说。他不希望做得不公道，他只是有点儿着急。

\ou have no fear of going home before your usual hour?\

\那么你呢？你不怕不到你通常的时间就回家吗？\

\

\你想侮辱我吗？\

\

\不，老兄，只是开开玩笑。\

\the waiter who was in a hurry said, rising from pulling down the metal shutters. \have confidence. I am all confidence.\

\不，\那个着急的侍者一边说，一边拉下了铁百叶窗后站了起来。\我有信心。我完全有信心。\

\ou have youth, confidence, and a job,\ou have everything.\
