  晨讀英語散文摘抄:小客棧的樂趣

We dined at an excellent inn at Chapelhouse, where Dr. Johnson expatiated on the felicity of England in its taverns and inns, and triumphed over the French for not having, in any perfection, the tavern life. "There is no private house, "said he, "in which people can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital tavern." Let there be ever so great plenty of good things, ever so much grandeur, ever so much elegance, ever so much desire that everybody should be easy, in the nature of things it cannot be: there must always be some degree of care and anxiety.

我們在查普爾壕斯一家極好的小客棧裏吃飯,約翰遜博士在那兒詳細敘述了英格蘭的小客棧和小旅館的妙處,得意洋洋地指出法國人沒有任何這等完美的小客棧生活。“任何私人住宅,”他說,“都不能使人們像在一家頂好的小客棧裏那樣舒適愉快。”儘管那裏好東西應有盡有,儘管屋宇是那樣的宏偉,陳設是那樣的雅緻,儘管主人一心一意要讓每個人都感到自由自在,而實際上這是不可能實現的。相反,那裏總是有着某種程度的顧慮和急切的心情。

The master of the house is anxious to entertain his guests; the guests are anxious to bearable to him; and no man but a very impudent dog indeed can as freely command what is in another's house as if it were his own. Whereas at a tavern there is a general freedom from anxiety.

屋主人要小心地招待客人,客人要留神地迎合主人。除了非常無禮的魯莽傢伙,絕沒有人在別人的屋子裏會像在自己家裏那樣可以隨心所欲,頤指氣使。然而在小客棧裏就根本沒有這種顧慮。

You are sure you are welcome; the more noise you make, the more trouble you give, the more good things you call for, the more welcome you are. No servants will attend you with the alacrity. which waiters do, who are excited with the prospect of an immediate reward in proportion as they please.

在這裏,你肯定是受歡迎的,你嗓門越大,你越添麻煩,你要的好東西越多,你就越受歡迎。沒有一個僕人會像受到小費刺激的店倌那樣殷勤地侍候你,因爲店倌的侍候越中意,你給小費就越慷慨。

No, sir; there is nothing which has as yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn.

沒有的,先生;在人類迄今所創造的一切事物中,沒有什麼能像一家優美的鄉村小客棧或者小旅館那樣給人們提供那麼多的樂趣。
