In the autumn of 1903 I used to dine frequently in a restaurant in the Rue de Clichy, Paris. Here were, among others, two waitresses that attracted my attention. One was a beautiful, pale young girl, to whom I never spoke, for she was employed far away from the table which I affected. The other, a stout, middle-aged managing Breton woman, had sole command over my table and me, and gradually she began to assume such a maternal tone towards me that I saw I should be compelled to leave that restaurant. If I was absent for a couple of nights running she would reproach me sharply: "What! you are unfaithful to me?" Once, when I complained about some French beans, she informed me roundly that French beans were a subject which I did not understand. I then decided to be eternally unfaithful to her, and I abandoned the restaurant 去书内

    1903年秋天,我经常去巴黎克里希街的一家餐馆吃饭。在众多女招待中,有两位吸引了我的注意。其中一个是一个漂亮的、脸色苍白的年轻姑娘,我从来没有和她说过话,因为她在离我假装的桌子很远的地方工作。另一个是一个壮实的中年布列塔尼女经理,她独自控制着我和我的桌子。渐渐地,她开始对我采取一种母性的语气,我觉得我应该被迫离开那家餐馆。如果我连续几个晚上不在家,她就会严厉地责备我:“什么!你对我不忠?”有一次,当我抱怨一些菜豆时,她直截了当地告诉我,菜豆是一个我不懂的科目。然后我决定永远对她不忠,我放弃了餐厅。
