One Sunday morning a while back, I was sitting in one of the booths in this very diner, the Golden Apple, in Chicago on Lincoln Avenue, and I looked around the restaurant.
不久前的一个周日早上,我坐在芝加哥林肯大道上这家金苹果餐厅的一个包厢里,环顾餐厅四周。
The table next to me, a family was taking their teenage daughter out to an awkward last breakfast before she shipped out with the military.
我旁边的桌子上,一家人正带着他们十几岁的女儿出去吃一顿尴尬的最后一顿早餐,然后她才随军队出征。
There were dressed-up people who'd come in from the church across the street, and young couples who'd stumbled in with the paper and were working on the crossword together.
有些盛装打扮的人从街对面的教堂进来,还有年轻的夫妇拿着报纸偶然进来,一起玩填字游戏。
And I thought, if only somebody could interview every person at every table in this restaurant.

During the busiest hours, which means late night, three or four of us worked the tables.
在最忙的时候,也就是深夜,我们三四个人在桌子上工作。

The restaurant sits at one of those intersections where three streets come together, not two, so every one of the corners in the intersection is wedge-shaped, which means that the restaurant itself is wedge-shaped, with booths along the windows on two sides of the wedge.
餐厅坐落在三条街道交汇的十字路口之一,而不是两条街道,因此十字路口的每个角落都是楔形的,这意味着餐厅本身是楔形的,楔形两侧的窗户上都有摊位。

也许如果你这里有一个黑人邻居,或者其中一个人愿意租给黑人,我想他们会有点不高兴。
But if you rent to a gay person today, it's OK.
但如果你今天租给同性恋者,那就没问题了。
A lot of things that we think should be this way and that way as you grow up, it's really not that way, shouldn't be that way.
很多事情我们觉得长大后应该这样那样,其实不是那样的,不应该那样的。
So I don't feel that we should really judge them, you know?
所以我觉得我们不应该真正评判他们,你知道吗?
Let the Lord judge them.
让主审判他们。
Coming up, drunks, partyers, people on the make, and lots of other people to try not to judge.
前来参加的有酒鬼、派对爱好者、成功者,以及许多其他尽量不去评判的人。
