為了對(duì)大家光臨表示歡迎，他們穿過面向小巷的另一道門，

each, as he disappeared, turning his face half round, and casting a casual glance upon a little group near another counter.

就在他閃身消失時(shí)，他轉(zhuǎn)過半邊臉，沖在另一個(gè)柜臺(tái)附近的一小群人投去冷冷的一瞥。

The group was of a very patient, half-frightened, half-puzzled looking gentleman who sat perfectly still on a stool,

這群人很有耐心，半害怕半困惑地望著四平八穩(wěn)地坐在一張椅子上的紳士，

and of a lady who stood beside him, rubbing all over his head a handkerchief full of pounded ice, and easing one hand with the other when the first became tired.

這人身邊站著一位女士，正用抱著冰塊的手帕敷他的腦袋呢，在一只手感到酸了時(shí)，輕松地用另一只手替換。

Basil drank his soda, and paused to look upon this group, which he felt would commend itself to realistic sculpture

巴希爾喝著蘇打水，停下腳步打量這幫人，他覺得這一幕會(huì)使現(xiàn)實(shí)主義雕刻對(duì)其感興趣，

as eminently characteristic of the local life, and, as "The Sunstroke" would sell enormously in the hot season.

可以作為當(dāng)?shù)厣畹囊粋€(gè)突出特征，就像在炎熱季節(jié)“中暑”司空見慣一樣。

"Better take a little more of that," the apothecary said, looking up from his prescription,

“最好多服一點(diǎn)，”藥劑師抬起目光說道，

and, as the organized sympathy of the seemingly indifferent crowd, smiling very kindly at his patient,

臉上浮出有條理的同情之色，貌似對(duì)方是不相干的人群，非常和善地對(duì)患者報(bào)以微笑，

who thereupon tasted something in the glass he held. "Do you still feel like fainting?" asked the humane authority.

患者于是啜了一口他端的玻璃杯里的東西。“你還覺得有點(diǎn)難受嗎?”這位權(quán)威人士問道。
