A Clean, Well-Lighted Place 《一个干净明亮的地方》
by 欧内斯特·海明威
Ernest Hemingway
阅读时长：8分钟
内容简介
Hemingway’s writing can be
minimalistic, a quality that lends itself well to short stories. In
fact, Washington Post's books editor, Ron Charles, has said that
Hemingway’s short stories are better than his novels.
海明威的写作手法一向颇为简洁，这一特点尤其适合于短篇小说。事实上，《华盛顿邮报》的图书编辑罗恩·查尔斯就曾评价说，海明威的短篇小说比他的长篇小说更优秀。
You’ve probably read, or at least
heard about, “Hills Like White Elephants,” a cryptic conversation
between a man and a woman. “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” is another
classic, in which two waiters prepare for the end of the
evening.
你可能读过或者至少听说过《白象似的群山》，那是发生在一男一女之间的一段晦涩对白。而《一个干净明亮的地方》则是另一个经典，讲述了两个男服务生准备结束一个夜晚的故事。
精彩选段
The two waiters inside the café
knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good
client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without
paying, so they kept watch on him.
呆在餐馆里的两个侍者知道这老人有点儿醉了，他虽然是个好主顾，可是，他们知道，如果他喝得太醉了，他会不付账就走，所以他们一直在留神他。
"上个星期他想自杀，"一个侍者说。
"为什么？"
"他绝望啦。"
"为啥绝望？"
"Nothing."
"不为什么。"
"How do you know it was
nothing?"
"你怎么知道是不为什么？"
"He has plenty of
money."
"他有很多钱。"
