So don't stand there smiling across the bar, waiting for her to come to you. Take the initiative. You'll be rewarded for it.
所以,不要在吧台对面冲着她笑,等着她来找你。只有采取主动,你定会有所收获。As everyone scattered, an enormous man burst through the door, threw tables and chairs aside and strode up to the bar.
人们刚刚跑散,一个巨人就撞进酒馆,他把桌椅扔到边上大步走向吧台。It was a great old-fashioned place, with its long soda fountain-like bar and tables covered with red-and-white checked tablecloths.
这是个很棒的老式饭店,里面有一条长长的像喷泉似的苏打水吧台,桌子上铺着红白相间的格子桌布。Stories say that he likes to help himself at the bar, rearrange pictures on the wall, and, in general, be a troublemaker.
故事传说这位士兵喜欢自己在吧台为自己酙酒、重新安置墙上图片的摆放位置,总而言之,他是个麻烦制造者。A door behind the counter opened and then closed, and for a moment it seemed that the flickering candles would be extinguished.
吧台后面的一扇门打开又关上,有一刻,那跳动的烛光几乎要熄灭了。He sold it for five cents a glass out of a neighboring soda fountain where someone had the bright idea of mixing it with carbonated water.
他通过附近的汽水吧台以5分钱1杯出售这种饮料,但在那里有人想出了一个聪明的点子,把它和苏打水混在一起。But then she wondered uneasily if it would be all right if she sat in the bar by herself and had a glass of wine.
但她想到自己一个人坐在吧台,拿着一杯酒,心里又有些不安,不知道这样对不对。The man at the bar flapped his hands behind his head as if swatting away flies.
吧台边喝酒的那个人在他的脑后来回挥动着手,好像在驱赶苍蝇似的。I watched him fill his glass at the bar and wondered how much time would pass before we talked again the way we just had.
我看着他在吧台斟满酒杯,心里想着,要再过多久我们才能再次这样交谈呢?
