二．短文英译汉Table Manner(1.) From the time when our caveman ancestors chewed on their wild pig bones in front of their fire to our own day when we sit around a table spread with snowy tablecloth and shining silver, we have the history of the change in eating habits from the simple satisfaction of hunger to the meal as a delightful, if rather complex, social institution. When you are invited to dinner today, it is assumed that you will be more interested in the persons and conversation at the table than in the meal itself. Therefore, leisurely eating habits should be cultivated, allowing for conversation and pleasures at the same time. The actual eating ought to be done with as little noise and movement as possible.Hotel Management and Administration(2.) The manager of a hotel is responsible for establishing the policies and procedures of operation for the hotel and for seeing that they are carried out. The way to attain the position of a manager is through education and experience. In earlier times, however, many universities and special schools gave courses in hotel management and administration. Many of the subjects a prospective hotelman studied were in the field of business administration. A hotel manager is a business executive and this means that he must have a knowledge of accounting, tax and business law, sales and promotion, and community relations, as well as a command of the traditional services and functions of the hotel itself.Do It Right(3.) The life of the hotel staff will be made much simpler and more efficient if they have a fund of common sense to call upon. It will help them to decide what is the right word to say and what is the right thing to do when various situations arise, and how to say and do it.A wrong word or misinterpreted action can cause untold harm and complaints, no matter how much one explains or apologizes afterwards. It must be remembered that a word once spoken can never be retracted. It is not unusual for our guests to make complaints about our products, services or even the hotel itself. What we ought to do is to encourage and settle the guest’s complaints in order to soothe an unhappy guest and improve our own work. This is a very important quality that everyone working in the hotel must have and be ready to use at all times.Cooperation in Hotel’s Business(4.) The convention business is very profitable for the hotel industry.A convention guarantees a good occupancy rate for the hotel over a period of at least several days. In addition, the special exhibit and meeting areas are rented by the sponsoring organization for a fee, and the people attending the convention also generate more business in the hotel’s restaurants, bars and shops. For most people, in fact, a convention is acombination of business and pleasure.The Catering Department assists the Sales Department in selling conventions and in all functions connected with conventions. With the assistance of the banquet headwaiter, the convention coordinator, and various members of the catering staff, including captains, waiters, and busboys, the catering manager sees that convention functions are given proper attention. Such functions include greeting the guests and catering to their needs, organizing meetings, assisting in the “set up”and “tear-down”of exhibits and planning and servicing receptions, meals, dances, and any other event connected with a convention or independently sponsored banquet or function.An Open Air Café(5.) A few lazy clouds were passing slowly over a sunlit blue sky. Scattered over the smooth green grass were about twenty tables with green and white plastic tablecloths fastened on them, and bright-colored sunshades above. Plastic and metal chairs stood round them and in the center of the law, water from a fountain splashed into a pool in which goldfish were swimmingThe waitresses, pretty girls in light summer frocks, were bringing ice-cream, cool drinks and cream cakes from the kitchen of the house at one side. Half the tables were occupied; several women were sitting, talking and a few men were enjoying the sunshine.On two sides roses bloomed against an old wall with beds of June flowers in front. On the other sides, tall trees sheltered lawns white with daisies. Bees were buzzing and birds were singing. Work, cold, perhaps no longer existed.Pleasant Attitude(6.) Pleasantness breeds pleasantness, and one of the first essential qualities for a hotel employee to possess is a naturally pleasant manner. This will be a great asset in dealing with people, for the attitude of theemployee is so often reflected quickly in the person with whom he/she is dealing. A real liking for people which springs from a genuine desire to assist them is another necessary quality. This is based on unselfishness and the ability to put the needs and wishes of other people before his/her own.The Importance of Housekeeping Department(7.) The success of a hotel can often be measured in degrees of the cleanliness, care, and maintenance of its facilities. The Housekeeping Department holds those keys to success. This department, vital to the hotel, is led by the housekeeper and includes supervisors, maids, housemen, linen room attendants, and PA attendants. Their jobs, simply stated, is to maintain the house efficiently.How to learn a foreign language(8.) We’ve got some advice on how to learn a foreign language. When a person is learning a foreign language, he must not always be translating everything into his own language. If he does this, it shows he has not mastered it. He must be able to use the foreign language, forgetting all about his own. If he cannot do this, he has not really grasped the spirit of the foreign language and cannot use it freely.The Importance of Cooperation(9.) It is very important for us to realize the necessity for cooperation and coordination among the various hotel departments. Practically every service offered requires the efforts of two or more departments. To get an incoming guest from the lobby to his freshly cleaned room involves the Front Office, the uniformed services, and the Housekeeping Department. Whether it is the serving of a single meal in the coffee shop or the handling of a large convention, the joint efforts of several departments must be coordinated to assure successful and satisfactory service to thecustomer. Failure on the part of any one department or any one person in that department means unsatisfactory service and a dissatisfied guest.Jewelry Shop(10.) Mr. Grey had a nice shop in the main street of a small town. He sold jewelry, watches, clocks and other such things. All went well for some years, and then Mr. Grey’s shop was broken into at night twice in one month, and a lot of jewelry was stolen each time. The police had still not managed to catch the thief three weeks later, so Mr. Grey decided that he would try to do something about it. He, therefore, bought a camera, fixed it up in his shop so that it could photograph anyone who broke in at night, and put some very cheap jewelry in front of it for the thief.A few nights later, the thief did come again, but he did not touch any of the cheap jewelry that Mr. Grey had put out for him. He took the camera. It was worth $ 15.000.(11.) For over 200 years, visitors to the United States have been trying to explain what makes Americans different from the people of other countries. Few have succeeded, because the United States is not like every other country in the world. It is a nation of nations. But who were the earliest Americans? And how did the population come to be so mixed?。
