大厅lobby[英]['lɒbɪ] [美][ˈlɑbi] 中英文故事：时代广场上空的繁星（3） 在大厅，我找个小沙发坐了下来。令人窒息的大厅里挤满了人:有人在订房间；有人因为航班取消又回到了酒店;还有许多人在用手机联系自己的亲朋好友。我坐在沙发上休息，注意到大厅里仅有的光线来自几缕透过窗户钻进来的阳光。父亲有些坐立不安，去时代广场 了。他一刻也闲坐不住。 大约几小时后，父亲终于回来了。我让他坐沙发，自己则坐在大理石地板上凉快一下。太阳已经下山了，大厅里一片漆黑，只有两支昏暗的蜡烛把人的影子投射到墙上。 我躺在地板上，想打个盹儿。地板虽然坚硬，但很凉爽。我迷迷糊糊，时睡时醒。一开始我还觉得整件事就像一次激动人心的探险，可现在我只希望能够尽快恢复供电，以便回房间休息。我闭着眼睛躺在地上，睡意全无，听着身边的人聊天。但最终我还是睡着了，醒来以后，我问父亲几点了。 I took a small couch and sat down. The stifling hotel lobby was full of people. Some were hoping to get a room ； others had returned to the hotel because their flights had been canceled. Many attempted to contact family or friends on cell phones. I relaxed on the couch， noticing the only light in the room was from the few sunrays that managed to enter through the windows. Restless, Dad left to wander around Times Square. He could never sit around without being occupied. After what seemed like hours, Dad finally returned. I let him sit on the couch while I tried to cool down on the marble floor. The sun had set, and the room was dark, illumi-nated only by two small candles that tossed shadows upon the wall. I lay down on the floor and tried to nap. The surface was very hard, but it was nice and cool. I drifted off to sleep only to awaken immediately. At first this had been an excit-ing adventure, but now 1 just wished the electricity would come back on so we would be able to go back to our room. I lay there with my eyes closed, unable to sleep, listening to people nearby as they talked. I must have finally fallen asleep though, for I woke up and asked Dad what time it was. 中英文例句 1.
