担心一个人的英文短句翻译篇六
《英文短句》
1. Footsteps announced his return.听脚步声就知道他回来了
2. An excellent leader need a thick skin. 优秀的领导要经得起批评.（在英语中，thick skin
并不像汉语中“厚脸皮”的贬义色彩那么重。英汉字典中，这个词条的同义形容词是：callous（冷淡无情的），hardened（有忍受力的），unfeeling（麻木的）。而汉语的“厚脸皮”应该对应的英文则是be cheeky，或是be impudent。
还有个和skin有关系的固定搭配，be in a bad skin或have a bad skin，意思是“生气”。例如：Don't disturb him, he's in a bad skin. 别去打扰他，他正火着呢。
3. I was intemperate in my youth. 我年少轻狂（形容词intemperate的本意是，无节制的，
放纵过度的，有时候会特指饮酒过度。因此，这句话意思相近的汉语表达还可以是，我少不更事，我年幼无知。它的反意词即是temperate，温和的，适度的，有节制的。 例句，
He is always temperate in his language. 他言辞总是很温和。
We should learn to be temperate in eating and drinking. 我们应该在饮食上有所节制。 Temperance can be a convenient disguise for fear. 温文尔雅以便掩饰胆怯。
4. Your explanation holds water. 你的解释滴水不漏（To hold water 本意是，不让水漏出
来；习惯上的用法已经变为，指某一个人找的借口、提出的理由、或说的话是确实的，站得住脚的，靠得住的。
例句：That excuse simply doesn't hold water. 那个借口根本站不住脚。
5. It never rains,It pours. 不鸣则以,一鸣惊人（句子的字面意思是，本来从不下雨的，却
下起了倾盆大雨。虽然我们这里用的翻译是带有明显积极意义的成语“不鸣则已，一鸣惊人”，但实际上，英文中的这句话含有积极和消极两方面的涵义。
对此，英文的解释是，“One stroke of good (or ill) fortune is often followed by many other instances of luck (or misfortune) when you least expect them. ”，即，好的或坏的运气，在你完全没有料到的时候突然出现。因此，当我们用来形容“病来如山倒”或“祸不单行”之类的坏事时，也可以使用这句短语。
6. Why are you always all thumbs?为什么你总是笨手笨脚（单词thumb，拇指，拇指被
认为是十个手指中最不灵活的。所以由此意引申，词组be all thumbs，英文的解释是“Lacking physical coordination, skill, or grace; clumsy”，即，缺乏身体协调的能力、技巧，缺乏优雅的风范，笨拙的，用“苯手笨脚”这个成语正合适。这个词组还可以写成，be all fingers and thumbs。
例句：I was all fingers and thumbs this morning, and could hardly button up my shirt. 今天早上我笨极了，差点连衬衫都扣不上了
7. He who would search for pearls must dive below. 不入虎穴，焉得虎子（戏剧作家约翰
-德莱顿（John Drydon）的名言，字面的意思是，谁要寻找珍珠必要深入水下（欲采珍珠需潜深水）。与中文中的表达“不入虎穴，焉得虎子”有一些相似的意思：想要得到别人得不到的东西，就要敢于进入别人不敢进入的领域。
一个相似的用从句表达的句子：He who would climb the ladder must begin at the bottom. 爬梯必须从底层开始，或者用中文中现成的那句话，千里之行始于足下。
8. I affirm that what he said is true. 我肯定他说的是真的。
9. May I ask for quarter? 能不能请你高抬贵手？（名词quarter在这句话中并不是我们所
熟悉的“四分之一”的意思，英文对此的解释是“Mercy or clemency, especially when displayed or given to an enemy”，即，（特别是针对敌人的）宽容，怜悯，仁慈。因此，相应的短语ask for quarter或beg for quarter就是“请求高抬贵手，请求手下留情，请求饶命”等意思。 例句： He has got no quarter from the competitors. 竞争对手们对他
毫不留情。
10. We're square. 我们扯平了。（作为形容词，square有一个意思，就是“公平的，结清的”。
例句： I saved your life, you saved mine, we're square.
我救你一命，你救我一命，我们扯平了。
11. The Summer Holiday is still a long way off. 离放暑假还早着呢（a long way off作为习
语中的一个固定表达，既可是表示时间上离现在很远（far in the future），也可以表示距离上离此地很远（at a long distance），所以生活中还会经常用到这个句子：The town is a long way off．那个镇子还远着呢。需要注意的是，介词off绝不可以丢掉。
12. Can we calculate on their help？我们能指望他们的帮助吗？
13. He has geared himself up for the interview他为面试作好了准备。（名词gear，齿轮。
作为动词，可以表示“将齿轮装上，使机器发动”等意思。词组gear up for sth.就等于get ready for sth.，即，为……做好准备。
再如：I hope you are all geared up for the new sales campaign．
我希望你们都为新的销售活动作好准备。
14. He started his business on a shoestring. 他用极少的本钱起家的（作为名词，shoestring
的意义可以是“鞋带”，也可以是“小额资本”，on a shoestring是美国口语中的一个习惯表达，表示“以极少的资金或不用资金”，英文的解释是“on a small sum of money; on capital that is barely adequate”。
在旅行社的广告中，会看到类似这样的句子：Adventures on a Shoestring，在这里，shoestring是指量力而行的省钱的安排。
15. Do you have a sweet tooth？你爱吃甜食？（小孩子去看牙医尤其是去看蛀牙的时候，
也许医生会问起这句话。固定搭配sweet tooth就表示喜爱吃甜事的习惯，英文的解释是“A fondness or craving for sweets”。
16. Every man worth his salt. 谁也不是白吃饭的。（在古罗马时期，盐是很宝贵的，罗马军
队士兵的军饷里就包括一部分盐，后来改发购盐的证券，叫Salarium，这个词就演变为了salary。但是盐表示工钱的意思在习语中保留了下来。如今，固定搭配worth one's salt，中文意思就是胜任，称职，值得所付给的报酬。在电影《加勒比海盗》中，这是一句面对指责辩解的话
17. A successful businessman must be aggressive. 一个成功的商人必须有进取心。（形容
词aggressive，侵犯的，攻击性的，有进取心的 例句：
America has a lot of aggressive weapons now. 美国现在有很多进攻性武器。 He is an aggressive man. 他是一个好斗的人。
18. This comedy has had them rolling in the aisles. 这出喜剧让他们乐得前仰后合。（名词
aisle在这里的意思是戏院中座位间的过道。have them rolling in the aisle是一个固定的表达方式，强调笑的动作夸张，相当于中文里的“乐得前仰后合，捧腹大笑” 例句： Joe's imitation of famous politicians had us rolling in the aisles.
乔模仿著名政治家的即兴表演让我们乐得前仰后合
19. You put the cart before a horse. 你本末倒置（cart的意思是马车，字面意思是，把马
车放在马的前面。这是一个习惯用法，相当于汉语中的成语“本末倒置”“颠倒黑白”之类。
20. Sleep tight! 睡个好觉（很简单的两个词，也是很地道一个英语表达。其中，tight并不
是指被子盖得严，而是指早期人们睡的稻草床上的鬃绳绷得紧。过去，稻草的垫子就铺在纵横交错的鬃绳上，鬃绳起到弹簧的作用。这些鬃绳要定期的进行绷紧，否则鬃绳则变的松松垮垮，很不舒服。
来自于一首美国儿童中流行的形成于19世纪的儿歌："Good night, sleep tight. Don't let
the bed bugs bite."（晚安，好觉，别让虫子吵你觉）。
按照牛津字典的解释，tight的意思就是soundly（熟睡的）。还有一首相似的儿歌“Good night, sleep tight. Wake up bright in the morning light. To do what's right with all your might.”
21. We are in the same boat. 我们是一根藤上的瓜。（in the same boat，字面意思是“在一
条船上”，指处境相同，面临同样的危险。用中文的俗语“一根绳上的蚱蜢”或“一根藤上的瓜”比较贴切。 例句： People in the same boat should help each other. 境遇相同的人应该互相帮助。
22. In other words, much thinking yields wisdom。换句话说，多想出智慧。（in other words，
换言之，换句话说，经常用来连接两个有解释关系的句子，起了承上启下的作用。在句子中的位置是灵活的。再如，He became, in other words，a great hero．换句话说，他变成了一个了不起的英雄）。
23. It's a matter of leverage. 甘蔗没有两头甜（名词leverage的本意是“杠杆的作用”，这里
使用的是它的比喻意，即，做事情的时候，想让一头敲起（想让一件事情满足要求），就需要把另一头压下（就要牺牲另一些需求），英文的解释是“To affect as if by leverage”。所以，这句口语用中文里的那句“甘蔗没有两头甜”来诠释恰倒好处）
24. Nothing could damp down his spirits．任何事情都不能破坏他的兴致。（damp down就
等于make sad or dull，即，使沮丧，使扫兴 再如：
Difficulties and failures did not damp down his enthusiasm．
困难和失败都没有挫伤他的热情。）
25. She is particularly keen on nurturing the flowers。她对养花特别着迷（be keen on和词
组be interested in，或be fond of或be eager to/for都是类似的意思，即，对……有兴趣；喜欢；渴望。 再如：I'm not very keen on jazz．我对爵士音乐不太感兴趣。
26. I apologize if I seem forward. 如果我有所冒犯，我道歉（Forward 在这里的意思可不
是"向前"，而是"鲁莽，无礼，冒失，胆大妄为"的意思，例如：a rude, forward child 一个粗鲁冒失的孩子。）
27. No one objected to the decision when it was made。做出这项决定时没有人反对。（动
词词组object to，反对，即，oppose in words or argument。 再如： How can James object to my going away with you？詹姆斯怎么会反对我和你一起走呢）
28. You are just saying that. 你只是说说而已。
29. Do you have a room available? 你们有空房间吗？
30. You deserve it. 这是你应得的。
31. Keep me updated. 有什么新情况？（动词update，升级，更新。中文的直译是“让我保
持更新的状态”，就是在要求别人把某件事的最新进展告诉你。反过来，如果是你要告诉别人某件事的最新进展，你就可以说：Let me update. 注意，前面一句用的是动词的过去分词，作为形容词使用；后面一句用的是动词原形）
32. Feast your eyes. 让你大饱眼福（很容易理解的一句英文，feast作为动词，最常用的意
思就是，盛宴款待。字面意思“款待你的眼睛”就等于中文里的那个成语“大饱眼福”。
33. I have to tighten my belt this month. 这个月我不得不勒紧裤腰带过日子。（其实中文中
也一直有这个说法，形容经济拮据，手头不宽裕，需要节衣缩食度日。 再如： The harvest was bad last year, they all had to tighten their belts.
去年收成不好，他们都不得不节衣缩食。）
34. Keep me updated. 有最新消息通知我（动词update，升级，更新。中文的直译是“让我
保持更新的状态”，就是在要求别人把某件事的最新进展告诉你。反过来，如果是你要告
诉别人某件事的最新进展，你就可以说：Let me update. 注意，前面一句用的是动词的过去分词，作为形容词使用；后面一句用的是动词原形。）
35. She walked back and forth on the path．她在小路上来回走着。（表示“来来回回”的副词
除了back and forth之外还可以用backwards and forwards、to and from或者up and down。）
36. Mary has my full confidence. 我完全信任玛丽。（名词confidence有两个主要的意思：
对自己的信心，自信（A feeling of assurance, especially of self-assurance.）；对别人的信心，信任（Trust or faith in a person or thing.）。这句中使用的是后一种含义。 再如，I have every confidence in your ability to succeed. 我绝不怀疑你取得成功的能力。）
37. I have racked my brain. 我已经绞尽了脑汁。（词组rack one's brain，英文的解释是to
cause great mental suffering，to torture brain by means of the rack.，即，用尽心思去思考事情，太用心了，好象饱受精神上的折磨。用汉语中的“绞尽脑汁”来形容正好）
38. It's no skin off my nose. 那不关我的事。（一个俚语，skin off one's nose，和某人无关。
我们口语中还经常遇到另外两个表示与某人无关的句子：It's not my business. 或是：It has nothing to do with me.）
39. I'll lay my hands on him sooner or later. 我迟早要收拾他。(词组lay one's hands on，
找到，攻击。 例句：
He's gone with the keys again, just wait till I lay my hands on him.
他又把钥匙拿走了，等我收拾他。)
40. Do you have any hobbies? 你有什么爱好吗？。
41. He is just a wipping boy in this accident. 在这次事故中他只是替罪羊（wipping boy最
初指的是，封建时代，为王子或贵族伴读的男孩，因为王子或贵族做错了事而代为收鞭打。如今，大多只使用它的比喻意：充当替罪羊的人或物，代人受过。这个短语在实际生活中用的很多。 再如： We're very much a whipping boy in the academic community. 我们实在只是学术圈里的替罪羊。）
42. My phone was out of order. 我的电话坏了。
43. I'll see what I can do. 我看一看能怎么办。
44. How long will it take me to get there? 到那儿要多长时间？
45. Maybe it will work. 也许这个办法会有效
46. It won't work. 行不通。
47. I'll do my best. 我将会尽我最大努力。
48. Absolutely impossible! 绝对不可能的！
49. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 你喜欢我就高兴。
50. Whatever you think is fine with me. 我随你。
51. What are you up to? 你在忙什么呢？
52. I assure you. 我向你保证
53. I'm not myself today. 我今天心神不宁。
54. I apologize. 我很抱歉
55. Where can I check in? 在哪儿办理登记手续？8
56. Where can I go for help? 我该怎么办呢？
57. It's been a long time. 好久不见了。
58. I'm under a lot of pressure. 我的压力很大。
59. Nowadays the graduates are a dime a dozen. 如今大学生多得不值钱了。（固定用法“a
dime a dozen”，直译是“一角钱一打”，表示多得很，已经不稀罕、不值钱。需要注意的是，在句子中，动词要根据主语做单复数的变化，不能因为这个固定搭配的不定冠词“a”就只用单数。这个句子的中文翻译，如果直接使用字面意思“一毛钱一打”也是很生动的）。
60. Something must be done about it. 必须得想个办法。（很口语的一句话，也是很典型的
中英文思维方式的转换。“人”去想办法，用英文说，就成了“事”要被做。关于什么事情，介词用about）
61. Please boil down these documents for me. 请帮我整理出这些文件的核心内容。（词组
boil down，最初的意思是“沸腾，使浓缩”（英文的解释：To reduce in bulk or size by boiling.），后来，它的引申意“归结，精简”（英文的解释：To condense; summarize）也成为日常用语。 再如：I made a wish on every star I could see, but usually they boiled down to one. 我对着每颗星星许个愿，但通常这些愿望会归结为一个。）
62. He is alive to the danger of the work. 他非常清楚这项工作的危险。（形容词alive，我
们比较熟悉的意思是“活着的”。这句中使用的是比较常用的一个习惯用语，可以从这个词的本意去理解：鲜活的，对……保持/拥有鲜活的状态。搭配be alive to就等于be aware of，或be sensitive to，意思是，“意识到，注意到，对……敏感”。
再如，She is a girl alive to the moods of others.
她是个对别人的心绪很敏感的女孩）。
63. He was afflicted with cancer. 他患了癌症（动词afflict的本意是，使痛苦，折磨。和其
他几个动词的意义差不多，比如，torment，
torture，agonize，rack等等。他们的核心意思都是“to bring great harm or suffering to someone”。其中，afflict加上介词with，再加上某种疾病，就成为“患某种疾病”的婉转的说法。 再如，He is afflicted with rheumatism. 他有风湿病。 She was afflicted with conscience. 她受良心的谴责。）
64. Justice has long arms. 天网恢恢，疏而不漏。（名词arm有两种比较常用的含义：手臂；
武器或武装。这个句子中，使用的是第一种含义的引申意思，英文的解释是“power or authority”（权力或权威）。中文中也有类似的表达，当我们说一个人“胳膊长”的时候，意思是这个人管的多。句子的字面意思是，正义的手臂很长，就是说，作奸犯科的人最终是逃不掉的，相当于“天网恢恢”的意境。）
65. I'm a little rusty on them. 我对它们有些生疏了。（形容词rusty，原意“生锈的”。在句子
中的意思是，做一件事情的时候，像生锈一样不灵活（Working or operating stiffly or incorrectly as if because of rust），生疏。英语中总喜欢用相对形象的比喻，而翻译成汉语时则偏向于使用相对抽象的形容词。）
66. He dumped her. 他把她甩了。（动词dump的本意是，（大量地）倾倒，倾泄（垃圾、
过剩产品之类）。在口语中，形容男女朋友分手，某个人把某个人甩了，就是用这个动词。英文的解释是“to discard or reject unceremoniously”（随便地抛弃或拒绝）。
67. Is it a bit over the top? 是不是有点过了？（俚语over the top，表示超过了某个限度，
有些让人不可接受。英文的解释是“surpassing a goal or quota”。电影的情节是，电视里英国首相布莱尔发表演说，赞颂去世的黛安娜王妃，使用一些很大的词汇，比如“人民的王妃”，“英国人民爱戴她”之类。这时候，一个在电视机前的普通观众问出这句话：A bit over the top, don't you think? （有点过了，你不觉得？）
68. My father means what he says. 我爸爸是个言出必行的人。（动词mean，“意欲，打算”，
mean what one says，表示是认真说的，并不是言浮于事、说说就算的，而是真的会去做。口语中还经常用到另一句话，也和这个动词有关：You don't mean to say so! （你不是这个意思吧! 真的吗?）

大一新生日记
星期日
从家里出发后，我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。我进去登记。宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙，并告诉了我房间号。我的房间在6楼，可电梯坏了。等我们终于找到8号房的时候，妈妈已经涨红了脸，上气不接下气。我打开门锁，我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。这个房间刚刚够一个人住，一家人都进去，肯定装不下。我躺在床上，不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来，爸爸妈妈就走了，只剩下我孤零零一个人。周围只有书和一个箱子。接下来我该做什么？
星期一
早上，有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。我见到了我的导师，他个子高高的，肩膀厚实，好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问我。他边说话边晃悠脑袋， 咖啡都洒到杯托里了。 “我家离爱丁堡不太远，开车大约6个小时，”我说。
“好极了！”他说，接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问。但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答，他就说到，“好极了！”然后就继续向前走。他啜了一口咖啡，却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。
妈妈打来电话。她问我是不是见到了导师。
星期二
我觉得有点儿饿，这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。我下楼去，得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么？”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。我来得太晚了，吃不上早餐了。这是午餐。”
午餐是自助餐，今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上，付了钱，坐下来吃。 我再也不觉得饿了。
妈妈打电话来。她问我有没有好好吃饭。
星期三
早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。我醒时已经8:45了。竟然没有人叫我起床。奇怪。
我穿好衣服，急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。她看了看我，问：“刚起床？”她是怎么看出来的？
讲座进行了1个小时。结束时我看了看笔记，我根本就看不懂自己写的字。
那个女生名叫苏菲，和我一样，也是英语文学专业的学生。她看起来惊人地聪明。听完讲座后我们一起闲聊。她告诉我在空档年( 高中毕业后等着上大学的一年) 里，她已经把这学期书单上的书都读完了。她给我留下了深刻的印象，我觉得自己太无知了，甚至不配跟她呼吸同样的空气。
妈妈来电话问我睡得好不好。
星期四
今天是新生集会（社团招新活动）。我和苏菲跑去看看我们能加入几个俱乐部。我们俩都认为我们应该结交很多朋友，所以我报名参加了交谊舞俱乐部、人工智能协会、手铃俱乐部和极限运动俱乐部。苏菲则报名参加了业余剧社和莫扎特合唱团。
我不知道我和苏菲还能不能继续做好朋友。
妈妈来电话。她告诉我哥哥曾试图把我在家住的那间卧室租出去。妈妈向我保证只要我需要，那房间永远是我的。她还说那是我的家，他们都非常想我，尤其是我的狗。我一下子就哭了起来。
星期五
早上我去了图书馆。可是好像我需要一个能验明我身份的证件才能进图书馆。不知为什么，我必须发誓不损坏书籍、不违反图书馆的规定，否则我就要被当作罪犯被送进监狱。（什么！？就因为说话声音太大？）图书馆看起来很古老，学校以此为豪。
今晚有个迪斯科舞会，可我已经没有干净衣服穿了。我只知道把脏衣服扔进衣篮中，但并不清楚衣服是如何洗净，熨平并叠好放进衣柜里的。也许妈妈快来电话了。
《回忆录》（节选）
由于我不是高中毕业生而且有一份全职工作，他们只允许我选修两门课程：“文学概论”和“美国教育史”。我不知道为什么我非得了解文学。可是招生办公室的那位女士说，虽然我读过陀思妥也夫斯基和梅尔维尔的小说，虽然一个没上过高中的人能读这些书的确令人敬佩，但这门课是必修课。她说由于我接受的欧洲教育不全面，“美国教育史”能使我具备广博的文化背景知识。
我乐得飘飘然了，第一件事就是去买所需要的课本，然后用纽约大学紫白相间的护封把它们套起来，这样地铁里的乘客就会向我投来艳羡的目光了。
我对大学课堂的了解全部都来自很久以前我在利默里克看的那些电影，我现在就坐在大学课堂里听一门课——美国教育史。玛克辛• 格林教授在讲台上给我们讲移居美国的英国清教徒是如何教育他们的下一代的。我周围的同学全都在不停地记笔记。我真希望自己知道该记点儿什么。我怎么知道她在讲台上说的话哪些是重要的呢？她说的每一句话我都要记住吗？有些同学举手问问题，可我永远不能那么做，因为全班同学都会盯着我，不知道那个说话带口音的家伙究竟是谁。我可以尝试用美国口音说话，可是我却说得并不地道。我试着用美音说话时，人们总是微笑着说：我是不是听到爱尔兰土腔了？
教授说清教徒离开英国是为了逃避宗教迫害，这让我大惑不解，因为清教徒本身就是英国人，而英国人总是到处迫害别人，尤其是爱尔兰人。我真想举手告诉教授爱尔兰人几百年来在英国的统治下所遭受的痛苦，但我知道班上的每个人都有高中文凭，只要我一开口，他们就会知道我和他们不一样。
其他同学都从容自信地举手发言。他们总是说：嗯，我认为„„。
总有一天我也会举手发言，说：嗯，我认为„„。可对清教徒及他们的教育问题，我还真不知道该如何认为。接着，教授告诉我们，观念并不是从天而降的现成品。从长远看，清教徒是宗教改革运动的产物，他们继承了宗教改革运动的世界观，他们对孩子的态度体现了宗教改革运动的思想。
教室里记笔记的沙沙声更响了，女生比男生更忙活。女生们不停地记，就好像从格林教授嘴里说出的每个字都很重要似的。
接下来我开始琢磨，为什么我要买这本厚厚的《美国教育史》呢？为什么我要带着它坐地铁，好让大家都羡慕我是个大学生呢？我知道会有考试，有期中考试，有期末考试，可是考试问题会从哪里出呢？如果教授不停地讲啊讲，而课本又有700 页之多的话，到时候我肯定会不知所措的。
班上的女生漂亮迷人，我想问问其中的一个是否知道应付七周后期中考试我该掌握什么内容。我愿意和她一起去学校的自助餐厅或是格林尼治村的咖啡馆，一块儿谈谈清教徒和他们极端拘谨的生活方式，谈谈他们是怎么把孩子吓破胆的。我可以告诉那个女生我是如何读陀
思妥也夫斯基和梅尔维尔的小说的。说不定她会被我打动，继而爱上我，然后我们一起研读美国教育史。
第一只牡蛎
“来，尝尝这个，这个好吃，”我父亲一边说一边在我的鼻子前晃动着一只牡蛎。 我皱起眉头，说：“我不吃，我不喜欢吃这个。”
“胡说，你没尝过怎么知道不喜欢吃。” 他跟我论理，“把它放进嘴里，品尝一下大西洋的味道。”
我觉得他说得对，可是有时候有些东西你只要看一眼就知道喜不喜欢。坦率地说，我觉得牡蛎看起来挺恶心的。
这座饭店坐落在法国一个著名的海滨旅游胜地。这时侍者不仅端上了一瓶放在冰篮子里的白葡萄酒，还端上一客份量极大的海鲜——螃蟹、对虾、大龙虾及各种贝类，都堆在一起。我母亲正忙着购物，于是我父亲就决定带我——他十岁的儿子——去吃午饭。他要让我体验生命里一个重要的事件，一件对我父亲来说与成年一样重要的事：我的第一只牡蛎。 世界上第一个吃牡蛎的男人到底是怎么想的呢？我说“男人”是因为女人肯定不会这么傻吧？“唷，我有点饿了，我们来瞧瞧这个石坑„„嗯，我觉得它看起来挺好吃的！”好像不太可能。父亲的话听起来更像是男生式的挑战。“来，你尝尝这只牡蛎，我来尝尝这块油滋滋的咸肉三明治，让我们看看谁玩得更开心！”
外面，天空灰蒙蒙的，海面上刮来一阵强风。天气看起来和我的心情一样阴郁。没有希望，只感觉饿，只担心失去纯真，因为我意识到这第一只牡蛎我今天得非吃不可了。
“我能吃炸鱼和薯条吗？”我满怀希望地问。我突然觉得想家，想吃我最爱吃的饭菜。 “当然不行！他们这儿没有炸鱼和薯条，只有这地方最上等的海鲜，在这方圆几英里之内你找不到更好的海鲜了。”他边回答边给自己又倒了一杯酒。“好啦，别抱怨了，就给我尝一只牡蛎，然后你就可以吃些好吃的、顺口的东西，比如对虾加黄油面包，” 他提议说。吃了这么长时间的饭，他的话里第一次有了妥协的意思。
但是，尽管清晰地感觉到了他的妥协——只有一个十岁的男孩才有这样的感觉，我仍然明白这妥协包含着吃掉那只牡蛎，那只放在我父亲的盘子边上的牡蛎。
我父亲继续吃着那一堆海鲜。他盘子放着一大堆被丢弃的龙虾爪，盘子边上放着一套工具，用来敲开蟹壳，剔出哪怕一丁点儿的蟹肉。他每吃一口就停一下，举杯喝一口酒。他时不时地在我眼前晃动着那只牡蛎，逗弄我吃了它，但却什么也没说。我只是绝望地看着我的空盘子。我想着我最爱吃的东西——我母亲做的点心，一滴泪静静地顺着面颊淌了下来。 终于，我父亲又拿起那只牡蛎，我知道这下全完了。我用拇指和另一只手指把牡蛎拈起来送到嘴边。父亲说：“把它吸进嘴里，先含着，尝尝盐和海水的味道，然后再咽下去。吃完了，我给你点你爱吃的东西。” 他的语气更亲切了些，因为他知道他赢了。
我按照他说的吃掉了那只牡蛎。牡蛎滑溜溜的，那味道是我从未尝过的，打那以后也没再尝过。
