高档餐厅

字幕原文

There are plenty of ways to get arrested. 要想被警察抓起来，办法多的是。

The pleasantest, Soapy decided, 索比觉得，最美滋滋的法子，

was to dine in style at an expensive restaurant, 就是去一家高档餐厅体体面面地大吃一顿，

and then announce he couldn't pay. 然后再说自己没钱付账。

He'd be handed over quietly to a policeman, 接着他就会被悄悄交给警察，

and a helpful judge would do the rest. 剩下的事自有热心的法官去办。

So he strolled up Broadway to a glittering café, 于是他顺着百老汇街溜达，来到一家灯火辉煌的餐馆，

where the finest wines and silks gathered every night. 那里每晚都汇聚着美酒与身着华服的名流。

From the lowest button of his vest upward, Soapy felt confident. 从马甲最底下的那颗扣子往上看，索比还是挺有自信的。

He was freshly shaved, his coat was decent, 他胡子刮得干干净净，外套也算体面，

and his neat black tie had been a gift from a lady missionary. 那条整洁的黑领带还是一位女传教士送的礼物。

He'd order roast duck, a bottle of wine, 他打算点上一只烤鸭，来一瓶红酒，

cheese, coffee, and a cigar. 再配上奶酪、咖啡，外加一支雪茄。

But the moment he stepped inside, 可他脚刚迈进门，

the head waiter's eye fell on his frayed trousers and worn-out shoes. 领班的目光就扫到了他那磨破的裤子和开裂的烂鞋。

Strong, silent hands turned him around and steered him straight back onto the sidewalk. 一双有力又沉默的手立刻将他转了个身，径直把他推回了人行道上。

Clothes may not make the man, 衣服虽然决定不了人品，

but they certainly decide where he's allowed to sit. 但绝对能决定你能坐在哪儿。
