Dinner Smells Good
美味晚餐
He was in his bedroom. He smelled food. The food smelled like chicken. It smelled good. A neighbor must be cooking dinner, he thought. But how could he smell his neighbor's dinner? The smell couldn't come through his apartment's heating1 vent2. That vent was for his apartment only. So where was the smell coming from? He walked to the front door. He opened it. There was no smell in the hallway3 outside the door. He walked into the living room. There was no smell in the living room. He walked back into the bedroom. He could smell the food again. The bedroom was the only place he could smell the food. It was winter. All the windows were closed. How could the smell get into the bedroom? "Call up the landlord," his wife said. "Maybe he knows how. I'm just glad we're smelling chicken. I'm glad it's not fish!"
他在卧室。他闻到了食物的味道。闻起来像是鸡肉。味道很好闻。他想邻居一定是在做晚餐。但是他怎么能够闻到邻居家的晚餐呢?这个味道一定不是从他家的通风口出来的。通风口只供他们家用。那么味道是从哪里来的呢?他走到了前门。打开了门。门外的过道没有味道。他走进了客厅。客厅也没有味道。他又回到了卧室。他又闻到了食物的味道。只有卧室能够闻到食物的味道。现在是冬天。所有的窗户都是关着的。味道是怎么进入卧室的呢?他的妻子说,去叫房主人,或许他知道。幸好我们闻到的是鸡肉,不是鱼的味道。
