侍者

Propinat me nunc dapifer,/ the steward now serves me up.

侍者候立饕餮要将我分食。

On his first inquiry he was told, with the impertinence peculiar to hired hackney-coachmen and inn-keepers with their houses full, that there was no room for him at the Hotel de Londres

最初一问，侍者就用车夫生意很忙和旅馆已经客满时那种特有的傲慢神气告诉他，伦敦旅馆已经没收有他住的份儿了。

For example, beverages other than water should be served in tall, skinny glasses; studies show that even professional bartenders overpour when the glass is short and wide.

比如，除了水之外的饮料应该用又高又瘦的杯子来盛放；研究显示，当就被是矮而宽的那种类型时，甚至那些职业的酒吧间侍者也会喝得过量的。

Then God created water," the narrator tells us, and the handsome bartender looks soulfully around the nightclub."

然后上帝创造了水，&叙述者告诉我们，英俊的酒吧侍者正深情地环视着夜总会。&

A toplofty waiter guided them to a table at which two other people already sat, an elderly man in what she was to learn to call " evening dress" and a woman of about forty whose gown and jewels were superb.

一个趾高气扬的侍者引着他们来到一张桌前。那里已经坐了一男一女。年纪稍大的男人穿着她刚刚学着称之为&晚礼服&的衣服，女人四十岁左右的样子，身上的衣裳和珠宝都华丽得无可挑剔。

A toplofty waiter guided them to a table at which two other people already sat, an elderly man in what she was to learn to call " evening dress" and a woman of about forty whose gown and jewels were superb.

一个傲慢的侍者把他们领到一张桌前。已经有两个人在这里坐下了。一位是身穿着她称之为'夜礼服'的男性长者，另一位则是年约四十，衣着华丽又佩戴着名贵珠宝首饰的女士。

The waiters were unflurried and good natured.

这些侍者从不慌里慌张，而是表现出很好的品性。

I invoke your consideration of the scene--the marble-topped tables, the range of leather-upholstered wall seats, the gay company, the ladies dressed in demi-state toilets, speaking in an exquisite visible chorus of taste, economy, opulence or art; the sedulous and largess-loving garcons, the music wisely catering to all with its raids upon the composers; the melange of talk and laughter--and, if you will, the Wurzburger in the tall glass cones that bend to your lips as a ripe cherry sways on its branch to the beak of a robber jay.

我提到下面的情景定会引起你的思考——大理石桌面的桌子，一排排靠墙的皮革椅座，愉快的侣伴，稍加打扮的女士们正以微妙而又明显可见的情趣争相谈论着经济、繁盛和艺术，小心周到喜欢慷慨的侍者，使作曲家慌忙不迭的音乐机灵地满足一切人的口味，还有杂七杂八的谈话声、欢笑声——假如你乐意的话，高高的玻璃锥体维尔茨堡酒将躬身到你的唇边，就像那枝头上的熟樱桃摇晃进强盗樫鸟的嘴壳一样。

No cop for youse," said the waiter, with a voice like butter cakes and an eye like the cherry in a Manhattan cocktail."

不，&警察为滑腻得侍者说，声音像奶油蛋糕，眼睛像曼哈顿鸡尾酒里的一颗樱桃。&

No cop for youse,' said the waiter, with a voice like butter cakes and an eye like the cherry in a Manhattan cocktail.

&用不着找警察，&侍者说，声音滑腻得如同奶油蛋糕，眼睛红得好似曼哈顿开胃酒中的樱桃。

I didn't watch TV last night, because it .

昨晚我没有看电视，因为电视机坏了。

Since this year, in a lot of villages of Beijing, TV of elevator liquid crystal was removed.

今年以来，在北京的很多小区里，电梯液晶电视被撤了下来。
