　　CHAPTER 1 第一章
　　THE LUNCH HOUR in the co-workers' cafeteria at Frankenberg's had reached its peak.
　　在弗兰肯贝格的员工自助餐厅，午餐时间，人流量达到了高峰期。
　　There was no room left at any of the long tables, and more and more people were arriving to wait back of the wooden barricades by the cash register. People who had already got their trays of food wandered about between the tables in search of a spot they could squeeze into, or a place that somebody was about to leave, but there was no place. The roar of dishes, chairs, voices, shuffling feet, and the bra-a-ack of the turnstiles in the bare-walled room was like the din of a single huge machine.
　　每张长桌都坐满了人，越来越多的人来到收银台旁边的木质隔栏旁等
　　着。那些已经拿着装有食物托盘的人在桌子间徘徊着，寻找能挤进去
　　的空位，或者某些人即将要离开而空出来的地方。但是没有位子。餐
　　盘，椅子的碰撞声，人声，鞋子拖地声，空旷房子里的十字转门的吱
　　扭声，像一台巨大的发出喧闹声的机器。
　　Therese ate nervously, with the "Welcome to Frankenberg" booklet propped up in front of her against a sugar container. She had read the thick booklet through last week, in the first day of training class, but she
　　had nothing else with her to read, and in the co-workers' cafeteria, she felt it necessary to concentrate on something. So she read again about vacation benefits, the three weeks' vacation given to people who had worked fifteen years at Frankenberg's, she ate the hot plate special of the day--a grayish slice of roast beef with a ball of mashed potatoes covered with brown gravy, a heap of peas, and a tiny paper cup of horseradish. She tried to imagine what it would be like to have worked fifteen years in Frankenberg's department store, and she found she was unable to. "Twenty-five Yearers" got four weeks' vacation, the booklet said. Frankenberg's also provided a camp for summer and winter vacationers. They should have a church, too, she thought, and a hospital for the birth of babies. The store was organized so much like a prison, it frightened her now and then to realize she was a part of it.
　　特雷泽紧张地吃着（她的午餐），在她面前放着一个糖罐，糖罐支持
　　着一个“欢迎来到弗兰克贝肯贝格”的小册子。在上周见习的第一天，
　　她就已经看完了这个册子，但是她没有别的什么可阅览的，在员工自
　　助餐厅，她觉着必须要集中注意力到一个事情上，所以她又阅读了一
　　下休假福利。在弗兰克贝格工作年满 15 年者可以获得 3 周休假。她
　　吃着今天的热板特殊菜---灰色烤牛肉薄片，球形捣碎土豆泥，土豆泥
　　上裹着棕色肉汁，肉汁上面堆着豌豆，和一小纸杯调味酱。她试着想
　　象在弗兰克贝格百货商店工作 15 年那将是个什么样子。但是她发现
　　她不能够，册子上说 25 年才换得 4 周的假期。弗兰克贝格也为冬夏
　　季休假者提供一次露营。她想他们应该也有教堂，有接生医院。这个
　　百货商店组织得如此齐全，像一个监狱，有时候，一想到自己也是它
　　其中的一份子就觉着恐怖。
　　She turned the page quickly, and saw in big black ............
