23、does this mean？”she asked.He then explained that the potatoes，the eggs and the coffee beans had each faced the same boiling water.However，they reacted differently.The potatoes went in strong，hard，but in the boiling water，they became soft and weak.The eggs were fragile(易碎的)，with the thin outer shell

31、What about？”“Nothing.”“How do you know it was nothing？”“He has plenty of money.”They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the cafe and looked at the terrace where the tables were all empty except where the old man sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree that m

42、，街上尽是浮尘，到了晚上，露水压住了浮尘。这个老人喜欢坐到很晚，因为他聋了。现在是夜里，十分寂静，他感觉得到跟白天的不同。待在餐馆里的两个侍者知道这老人有点儿醉了，他虽然是个好主顾，可是，他们知道，如果他喝得太醉了，他会不付账就走，所以他们一直在留神他。“上个星期他想自杀。”一个侍者说。“为什么？”“他绝望啦。”“干吗绝望？”“没事儿。”“你怎么知道是没事儿？”“他有很多钱。”他们一起坐在紧靠着餐馆大门墙边的桌旁，眼睛望着平台，那儿的桌子全都空无一人，只有那个老人坐在随风轻轻飘拂的树叶的阴影里。有个少女和一个大兵走过大街。街灯照在他那领章的铜号码上。那个少女没戴帽子，在他身旁匆匆走着。“警卫队

43、会把他带走。”一个侍者说。“如果他得到了他要找的东西，那又有什么关系呢？”“他这会儿还是从街上溜走好。警卫队会找他麻烦，他们五分钟前才经过这里。”那老人坐在阴影里，用杯子敲了敲茶托。那个年纪比较小的侍者走到他那儿。“你要什么？”老人朝他看了看。“再来杯白兰地。”他说。“你会喝醉的。”侍者说。老人朝他看了看。侍者走开了。“他会通宵待在这里。”他对他的同事说。“我困了。我从来没有在三点钟以前睡觉过。他应该在上星期就自杀的。”侍者从餐馆里的柜台上拿了一瓶白兰地和另一个茶托，大步走了出来，送到老人桌上。他放下茶托，把杯子倒满了白兰地。“你应该在上星期就自杀的。”他对那个聋了的老人说。老人把手指一晃。“

44、再加一点。”他说。侍者又往杯子里倒酒，酒溢了出来，顺着高脚杯的脚流进了一叠茶托的第一只茶托。“谢谢你。”老人说。侍者把酒瓶拿回到餐馆去。他又同他的同事坐在桌旁。“他这会儿喝醉了。”他说。“他每天晚上都喝醉。”“他干吗要自杀呀？”“我怎么知道。”“他上次是怎样自杀的？”“他用绳子上吊。”“谁把他放下来的？”“他侄女。”“干吗要把他放下来？”“为他的灵魂担忧。”“他有多少钱？”“他有很多钱。”“他准有八十岁喽。”“不管怎样，我算准他有八十岁。”“我真希望他回家去。我从来没有在三点钟以前睡觉过。那是个什么样的睡觉时间呀？”“他因为不喜欢睡觉所以才不睡觉。”“他孤孤单单。我可不孤单。我有个老婆在床上等

45、着我呢。”“他从前也有过老婆。”“这会儿有老婆对他可没好处。”“话可不能这么说。他有老婆也许会好些。”“他侄女会照料他。你刚才说是她把他放下来的。”“我知道。”“我才不要活得那么老。老人邋里邋遢。”“不一定都是这样。这个老人干干净净。他喝啤酒并不滴滴答答往外漏。哪怕这会儿喝醉了。你瞧他。”“我才不想瞧他。我希望他回家去。他并不关心那些非干活不可的人。”那老人从酒杯上抬起头来望望广场，又望望那两个侍者。“再来杯白兰地。”他指着杯子说。那个侍者急忙跑了过去。“没啦，”他不顾什么句法地说，蠢汉在对醉汉或外国人说话时就这么说法，“今晚上没啦。打烊啦。”“再来一杯。”那老人说。“不，没啦。”侍者一边拿块

46、毛巾揩揩桌沿，一边摇摇头。老人站了起来，慢慢地数着茶托，从口袋里摸出一只装硬币的零钱袋子来，付了酒账，又放下半个比塞塔作小费。那个侍者瞅着他顺着大街走去，这个年纪很大的人走起路来，虽然脚步不稳，却很有神气。知识积累1keep watch on注意2in despair 绝望地3march out to 出发去4have no regard for 不尊重；不重视文化链接一个干净明亮的地方内容概要这篇小说所描述的是一位老人和两位侍者的故事，其中老人这一人物形象看似微不足道，但从他自杀和饮酒的两个行为来分析，他是个展现了重压之下的优雅风度和精神不败的尊严感的海明威式主人公。两位侍者之间的对话引出了“虚无”这一主题，表明“虚无是对存在的体验，人类只有在内心保持一片干净明亮的地方才能抵御虚无”。
