题目内容
There is no private house in which people can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital inn. Let there be ever so great plenty of good things, ever so much desire that everybody should be easy, in the nature of things it cannot be: The master of the house is anxious to entertain his guests; the guests are anxious to be agreeable to him. Whereas at a tavern there is a general freedom from anxiety. You are sure you are welcome; the more noise you make, the more trouble you give, the more good things you call for, the welcome you are.

解析:
任何私人住宅都不能使人们象在一家顶好的小旅馆里那样舒适愉快。尽管那里好东西应有尽有,尽管主人一心一意要让每个人都感到自由自在,而实际上这是不可能实现的。相反,那里总是有着某种程度的顾虑和急切的心情。屋主人要小心地招待客人,客人要留神地迎合主人。然而在小客栈里就根本没有这种顾虑了。在这里,你肯定是受欢迎的,你嗓门越大,你越添麻烦,你要的好东西越多,你就越受欢迎。
