“He，s not here，”I said，after a quick look around.The television was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent(洗衣粉)，and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the Picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband’s underwear was after having been washed.They took no notice of US at all.
“Well.what did you expect?”replied Fergus，yawning(打呵欠).“It’s only half past nine,and he said he would be here at nine.You ought to know Graig by this time.He’11 turn up sometime after ten.”

参考解析：参考译文
我们终于找到了那个酒吧。

我不必再打听了，因为在窗子上有一个巨大的霓虹灯用字母标明——星星酒吧。

外面有一些铁桌子，四周是塑料凳子。

一些人百无聊赖地坐在周围，看着某个人从酒吧里拿出来的一个便携式电视机。

他们都穿着薄薄的夏装或短袖衫;已经很晚了，
天气还是很闷热令人窒息。

两条很瘦的狗趴在桌子底下，伸着舌头，几个女子无精打采地用杂志扇着风。

“他不在这里，”我很快地看了一下后说道。

电视机正在大声地播出一个洗衣粉的广告，坐在周围的人的眼睛都盯在那个自豪地展示丈夫的内衣洗后有多么干净的女人的身上。

他们根本没有注意到我们。

“你还期望什么呢?”弗格斯打着呵欠回答道，“现在才9：30，而他说他会在9点钟到这里来。

现在你应该了解Graig了。

他会在10点之后的某个时候来。

”
答案及解析
A【解析】推理判断题。

文章第一句中的at last暗示我们，作者和他的朋友找了好长时间才找到了这个地方，故选项D是错误的;通过窗户上方的霓虹灯，他们知道已经到了和Graig会见的地方。

所以，选项B、C也是错误的;第二句提到“我不用再问路了”，所以可以推测出作者和他的朋友以前没有到过那个酒吧。

从文章第一段可知，从酒吧口人们的着装和精神状态，几位女子用杂志无精打采地扇着风，很瘦的两条狗伸出舌头趴在桌子下面，可推测出虽然已是晚上9：30了，但天气仍然很闷热。
