【英中对照】The Green Door 绿门 欧·亨利(6)
During his walk a violent chattering of teeth in a glass case on the sidewalk seemed at first to draw his attention (with a qualm), to a restaurant before which it was set; but a second glance revealed the electric letters of a dentist's sign high above the next door. A giant negro, fantastically dressed in a red embroidered coat, yellow trousers and a military cap, discreetly distributed cards to those of the passing crowd who consented to take them.
在他走的时候，首先人行道上玻璃柜中一副猛烈打战的牙齿似乎把他的注意力（伴随着恶心）吸引到了一家餐馆——那儿前面就摆着它；再仔细一瞧，隔壁高处牙医的发光招牌便映入了他的眼帘。一个高大的黑人，怪里怪气地穿着红色绣花外套，黄色裤子，头上戴着军帽，谨慎地向愿意接受的路人发放着卡片。
This mode of dentistic advertising was a common sight to Rudolf. Usually he passed the dispenser of the dentist's cards without reducing his store; but tonight the African slipped one into his hand so deftly that he retained it there smiling a little at the successful feat.
这种牙医广告鲁道夫并不陌生。平时他经过发牙医卡片的人并不会减少对方的库存；但今晚那非洲人灵活地塞了张到他手里，他拿着胜利的果实，不由得微微一笑。
When he had travelled a few yards further he glanced at the card indifferently. Surprised, he turned it over and looked again with interest. One side of the card was blank; on the other was written in ink three words, "The Green Door." And then Rudolf saw, three steps in front of him, a man throw down the card the negro had given him as he passed. Rudolf picked it up. It was printed with the dentist's name and address and the usual schedule of "plate work" and "bridge work" and "crowns," and specious promises of "painless" operations.
