门卫doorman[英][ˈdɔ:ˌmæn, -mən, ˈdəʊr-] [美][ˈdɔrˌmæn, -mən, ˈdor-] 中英文故事：约翰和猫（2） 约翰弯下腰，让猫跳到地板上，然后拿起钥匙，出了公寓。他朝住在门厅里的老妇人点点头，按了一下电梯的按钮，乘电梯下到了大厅。 经过门卫，约翰漫步到大街的报摊上买了一份日报。他在报摊旁边的信箱前停下来取了信，然后回家。 他环视了一下房间，看了看浅褐色的桌子、两把浅褐色的椅子、嗡嗡作响的白色冰箱、炉子，又看了看冰箱和炉子之间那个长橱台的台面。他把报纸扔到桌上，回到窗前，心不在焉地咬着指甲。 猫又来了，蹭他的脚踝。 John bent over and let the cat jump to the floor before he picked up his keys and left the apartment. He nodded to the elderly lady that lived just down the hall from him, pushed the button next to the elevator and rode it down to the lobby. Passing the doorman, John strolled down the street to the news stand and bought a copy of the daily paper. He stopped at the post boxes next to the stand, picking up his mail, before returning to his building. He looked around the room at the light brown table with the two light brown chairs, the white, humming fridge, the stove, and the long section of counter top between them. Tossing the paper on the table, he walked back over to the window, ab¬sently biting at his thumbnail. The cat returned, rub¬bing itself against his ankles. 中英文例句 1. He might be the most affable doorman in new york. 他可称得上是纽约最和善的看门人了。 2. The doorman pushed two buttons. "Mister morris," the man said. "Your father is here for you." 看门人安了两下按钮，说道：“莫里斯先生，你的父亲在这等你。” 3. Instead of schmoozing the doorman or checking to see if he's on the guest list, he whips out his wallet and flashes a mysterious card. 他并没有和门童闲聊几句或是查看自己是否在宾客名单上，而是迅速拿出他的钱包，快速出示了一张神秘卡片。 4. Anything from keeping some money at home for unexpected emergencies like car repairs, to a hundred dollar bill stored in your wallet for social predicaments, such as a stern doorman who needs some bribing. 任何时候都需要在家里留些钱以防不备之需，如修车，在钱包里放上一百美元以防社会困境，如给严厉看门人的贿赂。 5. Or, we live in the same apartment building, you come home at night, the doorman's got a box waiting there that says netgrocer.com and somehow that cues you. 或者，我们住在一栋公寓里，你晚上回家，看门人拿着一个待取的盒子，上面写着netgrocer.com，你便因此受到了影响。 |
