When they had brought in the mutton , an omelette , a samovar , vodka , and wine from a russian cellar brought with them by the french , ramballe begged pierre to share his dinner ; and at once with the haste and greediness of a healthy , hungry man , set to work on the viands himself , munching vigorously with his strong teeth , and continually smacking his lips and exclaiming , excellent ! exquis 羊肉,煎雞蛋,茶炊伏特加和法軍帶在身邊的從俄國人地窖里弄到的葡萄酒都端上來之后,朗巴請皮埃爾一道進午餐,而他本人迫不及待地,像一個健康而又饑餓的人那樣,一付饞相地先吃了起來,用他那有力的牙迅速咀嚼,不停地咂嘴,一面說: excellent , exquis !

When he breakfasted or dined all the resources of the club - its kitchens and pantries , its buttery and dairy - aided to crowd his table with their most succulent stores ; he was served by the gravest waiters , in dress coats , and shoes with swan - skin soles , who proffered the viands in special porcelain , and on the finest linen ; club decanters , of a lost mould , contained his sherry , his port , and his cinnamon - spiced claret ; while his beverages were refreshingly cooled with ice , brought at great cost from the american lakes . if to live in this style is to be eccentric , it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity . the mansion in saville row , though not sumptuous , was exceedingly comfortable 不論是晚餐午餐,俱樂部的廚房菜肴貯藏柜食品供應處鮮魚供應處和牛奶房總要給他送來味道鮮美營養豐富的食品那些身穿黑禮服腳登厚絨軟底鞋態度莊重的侍者,總要給他端上一套別致的器皿,放在薩克斯出產的花紋漂亮的桌布上俱樂部保存的那些式樣古樸的水晶杯,也總要為他裝滿西班牙白葡萄酒葡萄牙紅葡萄酒或是摻著香桂皮香蕨和肉桂的粉紅葡萄酒為了保持飲料清涼可口,最后還給他送來俱樂部花了很大費用從美洲的湖泊里運來的冰塊。

Hunger made viands once repugnant , now acceptable ; he held the plate in his hand for an hour at a time , and gazed thoughtfully at the morsel of bad meat , of tainted fish , of black and mouldy bread 過去,人一看到這此食物就惡心,現在由于饑餓難忍,看到這些食物覺得非常可口的,有幾次,他整小時的把盤子端在手里,凝視著那不滿一口的腐肉,臭魚和發霉的黑面包。

Hunger could no longer be a motive , for greek slaves supplied them with exquisite viands at the slightest nod 饑餓不可能再是一個動機了,因為只需稍一點頭,希臘奴隸就會為他們奉上精美佳肴,但是其他欲望使他們繼續活躍,尤其是以下四種。

Yet , human fellowship infused some nourishment into the flinty viands , and struck some sparks of cheerfulness out of them 然而人和人的友誼卻給這硬邦邦的食物加上了營養,從人和人之間碰撞出了幾星快樂的火花。

And entering he blessed the viands and the beverages and the company of all the blessed answered his prayers 神父一面往里走,一面祝福食品與飲料。所有那些被祝福的會眾,都應答著他的禱詞。

Said he , setting down his bag and the parcel of viands 克萊爾把他的旅行小袋和食物包放下說。

The family sat down to table, and a frugal meal of cold viands was deposited before them . 一家老少,都圍著桌子坐下幾樣簡單的冷食,擺在他們面前。

May you, diomed, combine the viands as well as the architecture ! 狄俄墨德,但愿你把美味的菜肴和建筑學結合在一起!
