Despite it being the last stop before the highway started its thirty mile winding climb out of the desert canyon, the small family diner that had once been a trade favorite on the long-haul circuit was surprisingly devoid of his fellow truckers. And the atmosphere in the joint had changed for the worse too, but John was hungry and in a hurry to meet his schedule, so simply raised his hand to summon the waitress. He would eat quickly and be back on the road in twenty minutes.
方便提这个博客的幽默方式 just a note, upon the first time listening to the dialogue, I didn't catch that it was the waitress he was talking to, it sounded like it could have been someone he was at the restaurant with.
Maybe it would have been more clear if the first lines were:
服务员: 你可以点了吗?
贵宾: 可以。给我来一份儿汉堡.
Anyway, just a thought.
新年快乐!身体健康,万事如意,天天好心情!
