130.Looking for a Seat
130.找座位
"Howdy! Is this seat taken?" William asked.
"你好，這個座位有人嗎？"威廉問。
"Nope. Have a seat!" the girl said. It never fails, she thought, men always want to sit next to a girl sitting alone!
"沒有，坐吧！"女孩說。從來都是這樣，她想，男人總是想坐在單獨坐著的女孩旁邊！
"Thanks. lt's been ages since Fve ridden on a Greyhound bus,
"謝謝。我好久沒坐‘灰狗'汽車了，
but our jazz band needs to get to the next town to audition for a great job offer and this is the cheapest way!" he said.
可我們的爵士樂隊要到下座城鎮(zhèn)為一個很好的工作職位作面試，而坐汽車去是最便宜的！"他說。
"Mmmm," she replied, then said nothing.
"嗯"她回應道，然后就沉默不語。
"Is there anything wrong with me sitting here? Really! If you want to be isolated from people I can move!"
"我坐在這里有什么問題嗎？真的！如果你希望獨自呆著，我可以走的！"
"Nah. It's all the same to me. If it weren't you it would be only a matter of time before some other guy would ask to sit here.
"不啦，對我來講都一樣。如果沒有你，其他人也會要求坐在這里的，這只不過是個時間問題。
You can stay! Just don't try to jibe with me or ask me out, okay?" she said as she shifted away from William.
你呆在這里好啦！只是別跟我套近乎或者約我出去，行嗎？"她邊說邊從威廉身邊移開。
"Whoa! I'm married with three kids! It's no use being afraid of me asking you out--I'm crazy about my wife.
"噓！我已經(jīng)結婚啦，孩子都有三個啦！怕我約你出去沒有用——我對我老婆可滿意了。
I was just being polite, you know, making conversation!"
要知道，剛才和你說話我只想表示禮貌！"
"Oh, I，m sorry," the girl said, as she relaxed, showed her pretty smile and moved back to sit normal in the chair.
"噢，對不起"姑娘放松地說，露出甜美的微笑并回到她的座位上。
"It's about time someone was just polite to me. Men seem to think a single girl is open!
"差不多是有人只對我表示禮貌的時候了。男人們好像認為單身女孩都很開放！
It's high time I am polite myself. So do you know this area at all? It's rich in Native American history!"
我自己也應該對別人有點兒禮貌。那你了解這個地方嗎？它在印第安人歷史中可有名啦！"
"Nope. I'm from the city! All these Indian names just make my headache! It's all Greek to me."
"不了解，我是城里來的！所有這些印第安名都讓我頭痛！我對它們一點兒也不了解。"
"So you must love the city!" the girl asked leaning towards William.
"那你一定熱愛城市！"女孩邊說邊靠近威廉。
"You bet I do! Say, how about I rent a room for us at the next bus stop?" Jerk!
"我當然熱愛啦！我說，我在下一個汽車站給咱們租間房子怎么樣？"愚蠢的家伙！
