　　The organization bought a dinner for its staff in a restaurant as part of the effort to spur an atmosphere of teamwork, but towards the end of the meal, somebody found a cockroach in his food. This served as the right spur for everyone to stop eating. I believe that the ladies even squeezed their arms in case they'd scream on the spur of the moment. The men seemed to be more stable and kept chatting cheerfully about things like staffing the new section. I looked around, and noticed stains on the wall, and waitresses uniforms were stained, too. Tablecloths were stacked on the next table, and on top of this stack, a couple of flies were idling around. Somehow, this reminded me of a stable. When the dinner was finally over, the boss shook hands with each person, using a strong squeeze. On my way home, I went into the store next to the stadium to buy some cockroach spray, because I planned to spray every corner of my place the minute I got home.

　　公司在一家饭店请全体职工吃饭，这是为促进团队氛围而作出的一种努力。可是在吃饭快结束的时候，有人在食物中发现了一只蟑螂。这一刺激使大家立刻没了胃口。我相信女士们甚至使劲捏她们的胳膊才没有当即惊叫起来，男人们则显得持重多了，一直颇有兴致地聊着为新部门配备人员之类的事，我四下看了看，发现墙上有污迹，女招待的制服上也有污迹。旁边桌上堆放着桌布，在这整齐的一套桌布上面，几只苍蝇正悠然地飞着。不知怎的，这让我想起了马厩。终于把饭吃完的时候，老板与每个人紧紧地握手道别。回家的路上，我去体育场旁边的商店买了一瓶杀蟑螂的喷雾剂，因为我打算一回到家就把每个角落都喷一遍。
