我到了曼德勒,又从那儿乘汽船去缅甸的培尔根。到达的前两天,船停泊在一个河滨小村过夜。我决定上岸走走。船长告诉我说:村子里有家挺不错的小俱乐部,在那儿,你要像在家里一样。外地人从船上下来到那儿住上一夜,他们是习以为常的;俱乐部里管事的是个很正派的小伙子,你还可以在那儿玩一会儿桥牌。我实在也无聊,便上了一辆停在浮动码头旁边 I went to Mandalay and took a steamship to Peargan, Burma. Two days before arrival, the boat was parked overnight in a riverside hamlet. I decided to go ashore The captain told me that there is a nice little club in the village, where you are to be like at home. The foreigners come down from the boat to spend the night there, they are accustomed to; the club is in charge of a decent young man, you can also play there for a while bridge. I am really boring, then parked next to a floating dock
