Question

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們象在一家頂好的小旅館里那樣舒適愉快。盡管那里好東西應(yīng)有盡有，盡管主人一心一意要讓每個人都感到自由自在，而實際上這是不可能實現(xiàn)的。相反，那里總是有著某種程度的顧慮和急切的心情。屋主人要小心地招待客人，客人要留神地迎合主人。然而在小客棧里就根本沒有這種顧慮了。在這里，你肯定是受歡迎的，你嗓門越大，你越添麻煩，你要的好東西越多，你就越受歡迎。
