By the time I enter Omars shop, I have already forgotten what I wanted to buy. If one of my neighbors asked me why I go so often to Omars, I wouldnt know what to answer. 走进奥马尔的商店时,我已经忘记要买什么了。假如一个邻居问我为什么常常光顾奥马尔的商店,我也回答不出来。
Omars groceries are just fine, his household products are nothing special, and his prices tend to be on the high side. 奥马尔的杂货店只是还可以,他家的家用产品没啥特别,价格似乎还偏高。
Omar wears the same T-shirt every day, although I suspect that he has several of them, exact replicas[复制品] of each other. Its a red T-shirt with five words printed in yellow block letters[印刷体字母]. 奥马尔每天穿着同样的T恤,虽然我怀疑他有好几件这样的T恤。那件T恤是红色的,上面印着五个黄色的印刷体单词。
The five words read: My name is not Omar. Its a joke, of course, or at least, thats what I believe, since every customer calls him Omar. After midnight, customers become scarce[稀少的] in his shop. 那几个词是:我不叫奥马尔。当然这是个玩笑,或者至少我是这样认为的,因为每个顾客都叫他奥马尔。午夜过后,他的店里几乎没什么客人。
When Omar sees me approach[接近] the counter, he puts down whatever book he is reading, smiles at me, and offers me a cup of green tea. Tea is good for your health, he reminds me kindly. I nod, take a small sip[一呷之量], and let the cup warm up my hands. I have never told Omar how much I hate green tea and I suspect I never will. 奥马尔看到我走向柜台,他放下正在读的书,对我微笑了一下,递给我一杯绿茶。茶对你的健康有益,他好心地提醒我。我点点头,呷了一小口,让茶杯温暖我的双手。我从没告诉奥马尔我有多讨厌绿茶,我想自己永远也不会告诉他。
