牡蠣與珍珠

Harry Van Dusen's barber shop in O.K.-by-the-Sea, California, population 909. It's an old-fashioned shop, crowded with stuff not usually found in barber shops... Harry himself, for instance. He has never been known to put on a barber's white jacket or to work without a hat of some sort on his head.
哈里·范杜森的理發(fā)店在加利福尼亞州的“海邊滿意鎮(zhèn)”，這個(gè)鎮(zhèn)子有909人。這是一家老式的理發(fā)店，里面有不少一般理發(fā)店里不常見的東西，比如哈里這樣的理發(fā)師就很少見。人們從未見過(guò)他穿理發(fā)師的白大褂，他頭上還總愛戴個(gè)帽子。
On the walls, on the shelves, are many odds and ends, some apparently washed up by the sea, which is a block down the street: shells, rocks, pieces of driftwood, a life jacket, rope, sea plants. There is one old-fashioned chair.
墻壁的架子上擺放著不少小零碎，其中有些明顯是海潮沖上來(lái)的東西，如貝殼、石塊、浮木碎塊、一件救生衣、繩子、海里的植物等等。海邊離此僅有一個(gè)街區(qū)之遠(yuǎn)。店里還有一把老式的椅子。
When the play begins, Harry is seated in the chair. A boy of nine or ten named Clay Larrabee is giving him a haircut. Harry is reading a book, one of many in the shop.
帷幕拉開時(shí)，哈里正坐在理發(fā)椅上，一個(gè)九、十歲的男孩正在給他理發(fā)，他叫克萊·拉臘比。店里有很多書，哈里正讀其中一本。
