解析：

(1)	我走到过道里去伸伸腿。stretch one's legs“伸伸腿”，引申为放松一下。
(2)	与一个原来在站台上遇到的乘客聊了几句。exchange a few words with“与……说了几句话”。change“改变”；talk sth．through“畅叙衷肠”；talk about sth．“谈论某事”。 　　A great man is always willing to be little．伟大的人物总是愿意当小人物的。

提示：

(3)	由上文得知应是火车站站台。
(4)	由上文“走到过道里”可知：很显然此处指“回到座位上去”。
(5)	从下文可知：我原来的邻居是个爱唠叨的人。
(6)	他一开始和你讲话，你就要花上几个小时才能把他甩开。get away from“走开，躲开”。
(7)	他搬走，我根本不觉得遗憾。
(8)	从上文we had not met since then可知，此处是倒装句，所以将否定词置于句首。
(9)	由上文可知，这时我的假期就要开始了。
(10)	此处是too…to…句型，表示“忙于谈话没有看见我”。
(11)	我很快走回到车厢……把它们(行李)搬到走道的另一端，以做好准备，火车一停就下去。the far end of the corridor“走廊的远端”。get off“下车”。
(12)	搬运工立刻给我找来了出租车。find sb．sth．“给某人找来某物”。
(13)	我乘车去我在郊区的小旅馆的路上，为我能侥幸逃走而宽慰，舒了一口长气。narrow escape“侥幸逃脱”。
(14)	run into“碰到，不期而遇”。句意为：“我不大可能再碰到我那令人厌烦的邻居了。”
(15)	我直接往自己的房间走去。
(16)	(在旅馆娱乐室或饭店)点菜或其他东西，常用order。此处意为“要了一杯饮料”。
(17)	我刚举到嘴边，就听到一个再熟悉不过的声音向我打招呼，用when表示“突然”。
(18)	从上文可知：我终究没有逃出这位烦人的邻居的手掌。
(19)	并主张我们在一起用餐。
(20)	由下文“I never expected to see you again after all these years”可知“这的确是件惊奇的事”。
