原创英汉双语小说:《创业之路——东山再起》{74}
                 Chapter Twenty-eight

Jack and Cheryl live in Room 506. Jack doesn’t see Cheryl when he comes back the room. He wonders where she has been. He turns on the TV watching the program while waiting for her.
It’s nearly midnight when Cheryl comes back. She is as drunk as a sow and handed by Sam.
‘What’s the matter with you, Cheryl? Why are you drunken?’ Jack is surprised.
‘I-I-I am not intoxicated. Let me alone.’ She struggles to push Jack away.
‘What has happed to her, Sam? Where did you meet her?’ Jack has to ask Sam who is losing his head.
‘I met her in a bar which is not far from here. She was drinking alone. I was afraid something bad might happen to her. I asked her why she drank alone. She didn’t answer me going on drinking. I had to accompany her over there until she was intoxicated.’ Sam’s justification is sufficient. Jack has nothing to say.
‘Thank you, Sam. Come in and have a rest here.’ Jack pretends to invite Sam but the latter knows his place.
‘It’s too late. I’d better go home now. See you tomorrow.’ Sam says going away.
‘Good-bye, Sam. Thank you for sending her back.’
Jack hands Cheryl to the bedroom and helps her lie down her back on the bed. He intends to cross-question her why she drank so much. Looking at her status he puts the thought aside.
杰克和谢丽尔住在宾馆的506房。杰克回到房间时,发现谢丽尔不在屋里。她会去哪儿呢?只好一边看电视一边等她。
谢丽尔直到半夜才回来,喝得酩酊大醉,让山姆搀着。
‘谢丽尔,怎么了?为啥喝成这样?’杰克感到很诧异。
‘我,我,我没喝醉,别碰我。’她挣扎着推开杰克。
‘山姆,她怎么了?你怎么和她在一起?’杰克只好问山姆,后者有些手足无措。
‘我在一家酒巴看到她,就在附近。她当时一个人喝酒,我怕她出事儿,就问她为什么一个人喝酒,她不吱声,继续喝个不停,我只好留下陪她,一直等到她喝醉了,这才把她扶回来。’山姆的理由很充分,杰克无话可说。
‘谢谢你,山姆,进来坐一会儿吧。’杰克假意邀请山姆,可是对方很知趣。
‘太晚了,我得赶紧回去了,明天见。’山姆说着走掉了。
‘再见,山姆,谢谢你送谢丽尔回来。’
杰克把谢丽尔扶进卧室,搀着她上了床。想问个究竟,可是,看到她醉成那个样子,只好做罢。
Jack has not gone to sleep when it is small hours. Cheryl vomits every now and then. He has to clean out what she disgorges. She sleeps soundly at last. Jack embraces the chance to sleep for a while. By and by, he hears groaning from her. He springs out of bed approaching her bed. He reaches out a hand touching her forehead. She has a fever. He looks at his watch. It is four in the morning. He calls the hotel exchange to ask for help. It is not long before a doctor on duty arrives at Room 506. He checks her and tells Jack that Cheryl has caught a bad cold. She must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. Jack loses no time to dial 120.
杰克直到凌晨时分还没睡觉。谢丽尔吐了一次又一次,必须替她一次次地收拾。最后,她终于睡熟了。杰克抓紧时间睡了一会儿。没过多久,听见她的呻吟声,他一骨碌爬起来,来到她的床前,伸手摸摸她的额头,有些烫手;看看表,已是早上四点钟了,他打电话给酒店的总机求助。不久,值班医生来到506房,给她做了检查,然后告诉杰克,谢丽尔得了重感冒,必须尽快送医院治疗。杰克赶紧拨通120。
Cheryl wakes up in the morning. She stays in a single ward. She sees Jack sitting near the bed dozing.
‘Jack, why am I in the hospital?’
‘You caught a bad cold last night. It doesn’t matter now, baby.’ He answers kneading his eyes. ‘Do you feel better now, Cheryl?’
‘Yes, I do. Do I have to be in hospital? I don’t like the idea.’
‘No, you needn’t be in hospital. You may go back to the hotel so long as your fever allays. Wait, I ask the nurse to take your temperature.’
谢丽尔早上醒来,发现自己躺在一间单人病房里,杰克坐在床边打瞌睡。
‘杰克,我怎么在医院里?’
‘你昨晚得了重感冒,不过,现在没事儿了,宝贝儿。’他一边说一边揉眼睛。‘你觉得好些了吧,谢丽尔?’
‘嗯,没事儿了,需要住院吗?人家不喜欢呆在这儿。’
‘不用住院,只要不发烧,就可以回去。等一下,我叫护士过来帮你量体温。’
At noon, Jack and Cheryl come back to their room. Jack hands Cheryl onto the bed and pours a glass of water for her.
‘Now you must obey the doctor’s enjoining. Stay in bed until you get well. I’ll be out for a while to meet Mr. Henry who is the head of the American delegation. He asked me to talk with him. I won’t be long.’
中午时分,杰克与谢丽尔回到酒店的房间,杰克把谢丽尔扶上床,给她倒了一杯水。
‘好啦,你要听大夫的话,卧床休息,直到病情好转。我要出去一趟,和亨利先生谈点儿事情,就是美国代表团的团长。他让我过去一趟,一会儿就回来。’
