服务员,看似一个很普通的职业,却往往能有意想不到的“收获”。
When I was a server in high school I accidentally walked apron-first into a full-fledged breakup with nothing but a pitcher of water and a friendly, naive smile. There was crying. There was cursing. Napkins were thrown in faces. I backed away and hid in the bathroom for an hour.
我上高中的时候,曾当过服务员,那时候我不小心撞见一场正式的分手戏码,而我只是给他们上了一壶水,并投之以友好又天真的微笑。当时,哭泣、咒骂以及把餐巾纸扔到脸上的戏码一起上演。我慢慢地退了回去,然后在洗手间里躲了1个小时。
At the time, I had thought this was the most awkward moment that a server could ever invade. Then, I read this recent Reddit thread. Now I know how much worse it could have been. Why don't people have these conversations at home?
当时我觉得这可能是一名服务员经历过的最尴尬的瞬间了。然后,我看到了Reddit(一家资讯网站)最近发表的一个话题。现在我知道(服务员会经历)多么糟糕的情况了。人们为什么不在家里谈论这些话题呢?
Here are some of the high (low?) lights.
这里有一些高能(尴尬?)的瞬间。

The "Hey I'm pregnant," and "Is this your wife or one of your many girlfriends?"
“嗨,我怀孕了,”以及“这是你的妻子还是你众多女友之一?”

“哎呀!我们不再是处女了,我不知道我们为什么会告诉你这些。”
在外就餐时,说话可要注意分寸哦。
