~~~~~ 德國的一張罰單 ~~~~~ 值得馬來西亞人沈思

德國是個工業化程度很高的國家,說到賓士,BMW,西門子......沒有人不知道,世界上用於核子反應爐中最好的核心泵就是在德國的一個小鎮上產生的。

在這樣一個發達國家,人們的生活一定是紙醉金迷燈紅酒綠吧。
去德國考察前,我們在描繪著、揣摩著這個國度。

Germany is a highly industrialised country. It produces top brands like Benz, BMW, Simons etc. The nuclear reactor p ump is made in a small town in this country. In such a country, many will think its people leads a luxurious life. At least that was my impression before my study trip.

到達港口城市漢堡之時,我們習慣先去餐館,已在駐地的同事免不了要為我們接風洗塵。

走進餐館,我們一行穿過桌多人少的中餐館大廳,心裡犯疑惑:這樣冷清清的場面,飯店能開下去嗎?更可笑的是一對用餐? 侶的桌子上,只擺有一個碟子,裡面只放著兩種菜,兩罐啤酒,如 此簡單,是否影響他們的甜蜜聚會?如果是男士買單,是否太小氣,他不怕女友跑掉?

When I arrived at Hamburg, my colleagues who work in Hamburg arranged a welcome party for me in a restaurant. As we walked into the restaurant, we noticed that a lot of tables were empty. There was a table where a young couple was having their meal. There were only two dishes and two cans of beer on the table. I wondered if such simple meal could be romantic, and whether the girl will lea ve this stingy guy.

另 外一桌是幾位白人老太太在悠閒地用餐,每道菜上桌後,服務生很快的幫她們分配好,然後就被她們吃光光了。

There were a few old ladies on another table. When a dish is served, the waiter would distribute the food for them, and they would finish every bit of the food on their plates.

我們不再過多的注意她們,而是盼著自己的大餐快點上來。駐地的同事看到大家飢餓的樣子,就多點了些菜,大家也不推讓,大有「宰」駐地同事的意思。

We did not pay much attention to them, as we were looking forward to the dishes we ordered. As we were hungry, our local colleague ordered more food for us.

餐館客人不多,上菜很快,我們的桌子很快被碟碗堆滿,看來,今天我們是這裡的大富豪了。狼吞虎嚥之後,想到面還有活動,就不再戀酒菜,這一餐很快就結束了。結果還有三分之一沒有吃 掉,剩在桌面上。
