差不多说了三分多钟左右,男人轻松地笑了笑,对着周围所有围观着我的人摆了摆手,又回到了刚刚那张桌子上,对着那个光头眼镜嗤笑着,开口道:“well,guys,it’s nothing to be worried about!charlotte tells me that this young jackass and his shawty are here for her.(得嘞,伙计们,没啥需要担心的!夏洛蒂告诉我,这个小犊子和他那小 丫头都是来找她的。)”
“i know that.i’ve met that shawty before with tee and his junr.but is that really good we let a man with shooting-iron here discussing our tasks?(我知道啊。我之前已经‘茶和他的少年’一起见过那 丫头了。但我们就这么让一个带着枪的人在这待着不管,再聊我们的工作,这样真的好吗?)”光头男人身边的另一个看起来憨态可掬的胖子谨慎地说道。
“it’s fine!he’s just a mother-fucking cop of the f.c.p.d.,and you guys know it:the educatn level of them is figuratively low.he’s not possible to catch what we are talking about!could you even get even one word of mandarin before you went to virginia?(没事的!他就是个f市警察局的二逼警察!你们也都知道吧:这帮人的 教育水平相当差了,他不可能听懂我们说的话的!你去弗吉尼亚之前你能懂一个汉语单词吗?)”接着,那个凯尔和那个胖子又转过头看着我,且听他对那个胖子说道:“william,i bet he will consider whatever you saying as greetings if we keep smiling to him.(威廉,我打赌如果我俩继续对他微笑的话,不管你说啥,他都会以为是在跟他打招呼。)”
那个名叫威廉的胖子想了想,笑着对我招了招手:“enjoy your shit-rice bowl,dumass!(好好享用你的大便盖饭,傻逼!)”
我也看着那个凯尔和威廉笑了笑。
于是那一桌人都被我逗笑了。
“哈哈哈哈!that is too mean,man!(爷们儿,这太损了!)”
“yeah,especially your creative phrase!and a little bit gross and racism!i mean,i really like the‘beef-tariyaki rice bowl’from the dragon palace!really nauseated!(没错,尤其是你造的那个词!还有点恶心和种族歧视啊!我说,我真的很喜欢‘龙宫餐馆’的‘牛肉照烧盖饭’啊!真是恶心啊!)”
正在我如是想着,隋琼岚有很无奈地绷着脸眨了眨眼,寻思了一会儿后,脸上才硬堆出一个勉强的笑对我说道:“小何呀,我和美茵的菜都点好了,你吃点什么?——要不这样的吧,就帮你随便叫一个le confit de canard吧,哦,或者escargot au vin也挺好算得上是他们这的厨师长推荐,也挺不错的。”说完之后,隋琼岚用一种十分不屑的目光,在我身上扫了一下又收回,又眨着眼睛轻蔑地把目光再次丢过来——这种眼神老爸一般称之为“扁担钩眼”或者“弹簧眼”。我也确实感觉到了一种前所未有的冒犯,心想如果艾立威、段亦澄这种讨厌鬼还活着的话,也真应该被拉到这个隋琼岚面前,多被她这眼神看几下,纵使是他们也怕是要被这女人气个半死。
我根本没理会她的话,而对着服务员伸出了一根笔直指天的食指:“just give me one sec.(等我一下。)”我又迅速看了一眼菜单,然后立刻把它合上,接着我对着服务员说道:“may i have both garden-veggie soup and chicken caesar-salad as the appetizers(开胃菜的话,田园蔬菜汤和鸡肉凯撒沙拉我能都点吗)?”
“sure.(当然。)”
“nice.by the way,please no hard bread cubes in the salad.(好的。对了,请别在沙拉里加硬面包块。)”
“no problem.anything else?(没问题。还要点什么吗?)”
“can i get a six-ounce classic roasted pork ribs,with grilled asparagus and mashed potato on side?and a mug of heineken,please—non-alcoholic,by the way.thanks.(可以要一份六盎司的招牌烤猪肋么,配菜要烤芦笋跟土豆泥?再来一扎喜力 啤酒——对了,要无酒精的。谢谢。)”
