098 Stopping in Italy 在意大利停留

The restaurant is fittingly called, “Taste of Italy”. Above the entrance is a fixed flagpole. Hanging from the pole is a large Italian flag. The flagpole has been a fixture since the building was first opened a century ago. Alice and Bessie entered the restaurant with high expectations.

這家飯店稱為“意大利風(fēng)味”，真是名符其實(shí)。飯店門口上方豎著一個(gè)固定的旗桿，上面懸掛著寬大的意大利國(guó)旗。這個(gè)旗桿從一個(gè)世紀(jì)前飯店開(kāi)業(yè)起就一直固定在那里。愛(ài)麗絲和貝西滿懷期望地走進(jìn)飯店。

“Almost everyone eating here has a flabby stomach,” Alice whispered. The flash of a lighter and the flare of a lit cigarette caught Alice’s attention. “And look at that flagrant violation of the no-smoking law,” Alice added. “The waitress with the flashlight looks flighty. However, that waiter over there dressed in a red jacket looks like he has a flamboyant personality. We should sit in his section.”

“幾乎每個(gè)來(lái)這兒吃飯的人肚子都餓扁了。”愛(ài)麗絲小聲說(shuō)。打火機(jī)發(fā)出的亮光和燃著的煙頭的亮光引起了愛(ài)麗絲的注意。“看看這些人竟這么明目張膽地?zé)o視反吸煙法。”愛(ài)麗絲接著說(shuō)，“拿電筒的服務(wù)小姐看樣子很輕浮，但那邊穿紅色夾克的男服務(wù)員好像有火一般的熱情。我們應(yīng)該坐在他的服務(wù)區(qū)內(nèi)。”

“You have a flair for observation,” Bessie said. “Let’s sit down.” They made their way to a small table in the waiter’s section. “Look how flimsy their menus are.” Bessie giggled. “That reminds me. Are you still working on your flexibility?”

“你觀察能力就是強(qiáng)。”貝西說(shuō)，“我們過(guò)去坐吧。”她們費(fèi)力地走過(guò)去，在男服務(wù)員區(qū)內(nèi)一個(gè)小桌旁坐下。“看，他們的菜單多么輕薄易破呀。”貝西咯咯地笑著說(shuō)，“這倒讓我想起了一件事，你還在從事柔性的研究嗎?”

“Yes,” Alice replied. “I’d like a flexible desk lamp. Speaking of light, aren’t these flickering candles romantic?”

“是的，”愛(ài)麗絲回答，“我想研制出一種可彎曲的臺(tái)燈。說(shuō)起燈光，你不覺(jué)得這里閃爍的燭光很浪漫嗎?”

“Yes,” Bessie answered. “And I think I’m falling in love with the flavoring on this baked chicken. Do you think they flay the chicken before they bake it?”

“是很浪漫，”貝西回答，“而且我喜歡上了這種燒雞上調(diào)料的味道。他們是先剝?nèi)ルu皮再烤嗎?”

“It looks like it,” replied Alice. “It also looks like they put flakes on it before they flavor it with tomato sauce. Hey, that Italian man is looking at you. I think he likes you.”

“從外表看是的，”愛(ài)麗絲回答，“而且看上去他們是先在上面放上玉米片，然后再用番茄醬來(lái)調(diào)味。嗨，那個(gè)意大利人在看你呢!我想他喜歡上你了。”

“Stop it,” Bessie said. “It was only a fleeting glance. Do you think he’s handsome?”

“閉嘴，”貝西說(shuō)，“那只不過(guò)是短暫的一憋。你覺(jué)得他很帥嗎?”

“Aren’t they all?” Alice chuckled.

“難道他們不都很帥嗎?”愛(ài)麗絲輕聲笑著說(shuō)。
