雪下得很大，即使每个真正纽约人都盼着过一个白色圣诞，可还在第五大道购物人们却行色急忙，他们不但要在最终一刻前挑选到心仪圣诞礼品，还要避开严寒，回家和亲人们共度圣诞夜。Text15/1442

乔希·莱斯特拐进了第四十六街。他还没来得及享受圣诞气氛，因为他仍在工作着，虽说是要在乔安妮餐厅吃一顿工作餐。乔希是黑人，三十出头，长得平易近人，穿着时髦得体，却不华贵。他来自弗吉尼亚州北部，父母都是辛勤工作人，或许只有回到父母家里才最让他感到幸福。单从他行为举止，他人看不出他拥有一个哈佛法学院学位，一段在华盛顿特区跟从国会议员实习经历，还有纽约一家律师事务所初级合作人身份。他才华横溢，思维灵敏，聪明过人。Text16/1443这次见面意味着乔希要过了圣诞夜才能回家了。他并没有所以而不高兴，因为他要见人是康涅狄格州资深参议员乔·罗杰斯，此人是全美曝光率最高名人之一。参议员罗杰斯是民主党人，现在是她第三个任期，对于国会山一切她了如指掌，尽管如此，她还是尽力维持住了在她支持者心中作为一位华盛顿局外人信誉。她支持堕胎，反对腐败，支持降低二氧化碳排量，反对死刑，能够说是大西洋这一边能找到最完美进步自由派人士。脱口秀主持人们称呼她“老实参议员乔”，几年前《时代周刊》提名她参加年度女性角逐。明年就是选举年了，有消息称她将参加民主党内总统提名竞选。罗杰斯在华盛顿见过乔希，她以为乔希很有才能，于是就邀他共进晚餐。Text17/1444乔希打了个冷战，他打开手里纸条查对了一下地址。之前他没来过乔安妮餐厅，但对于它鼎鼎大名却早有耳闻，倒不是因为这里饭菜有多美味，其实这里菜品屡遭恶评，也不是因为这里爵士管弦乐队有一位著名电影导演客串吹小号，而是因为这里聚集了有头有脸宾客，能够说是星光璀璨，他们中有政客、外交家、电影明星、载入名人堂体育明星、记者、作家、摇滚明星、诺贝尔奖得主等等——总之，这里每一位客人都是这座权力之城里一个人物。5餐厅里面人头攒动。乔希走进来时前台领班一直盯着他看。Text18/1446“您需要帮忙吗？”7乔希回答说：“是，我有一个……”8“对不起，先生……”看见有两位客人走了进来，领班打断了他话。“晚上好，巴考尔小姐，晚上好，汉克斯先生。”接着他打了个响指招呼服务生带他们入座。9“好吧，先生，请问您预定座位了吗？”领班耸了耸肩，说道，“您也看见了，我们没有空余座位。”10“我今天晚上要在这儿和一位名叫罗杰斯女士见面。”Text19/14411领班把乔希从头到脚端详了一番，然后说“请问您怎么称呼？”12乔希向他报了姓名，即使领班好不轻易才忍住没撇嘴，但他还是鼓了鼓鼻翼，显示出了他不屑以及自然而然优越感。13“让我想想。”领班说道。“哦，对了，我们确实为一位罗杰斯女士预留了一张桌子，可是她马上就到吗？”Text20/14414乔希过去也有过被人怀疑经历，但他没有被吓到。15“我必定她很快就到。能烦请你带我去她座位吗？”乔希说。16“那这边走，先生。”领班把乔希领到餐厅靠里处，指了指一张桌子。17“谢谢，请给我来一杯马丁尼，”乔希说。可那位领班还没等他说完就迫不及待地要回到纽约上层社会那令人陶醉纷乱中去，最少在他看来，那里每一个人都在召唤着他，希望得到他注意。Text21/14418这张桌子离卫生间很近，还紧挨着一扇半开窗户，好像从五大湖刮来刺骨寒风恰好沿着哈得孙峡谷吹进来，在这儿结束了它旅程。19突然间，餐厅平静了片刻，紧接着又响起了一阵热烈窃窃语声。20“罗杰斯参议员！”领班喊道，“能在乔安妮再次见到您真是太荣幸了！”21“晚上好，阿尔贝托。我要和一位年青人吃饭，他叫莱斯特。”22领班慌得直眨眼，还咽了咽口水。Text22/14423“好，参议员，您这边走。”当罗杰斯参议员穿过拥挤餐厅时，不停有些人回过头来，他们认出了她，并默默地跟她打招呼。在一个不分阶级社会里，罗杰斯能够说是离美国统治阶级最近人了。阿尔贝托在周围转了一阵子，然后走过去和一位同事说了几句话。24“很高兴又见到你，乔希，”罗杰斯说。“我们先吃点东西，然后我要跟你谈谈一份商业提案事。”Text23/14425阿尔贝托回到餐桌旁，深深地弯下腰，那谦卑样子简直有点可笑。26“参议员，这张桌子太冷了，坐着不舒适，不知道……”27罗杰斯参议员等着他把话说完，她轻声地说道，“请接着说。”28“不知道您愿不愿意换张好点儿桌子，到餐厅中央去，这么您就能看到餐厅里每一个人了。”这么餐厅里每一个人都能够看见您啦，他本是想这么说。“那样您会以为舒适得多，而且……”Text24/14429阿尔贝托停了下来。罗杰斯参议员看了看四面。30“我同意，这儿不是屋子里最好座位，但既然你把我朋友带到了这儿，我想我们就呆在这里好了，上我平时点菜吧。”31两个小时后，罗杰斯和乔希起身准备离开，这又引发店员们一阵骚动，个个都主动来献殷勤，其中就包含阿尔贝托，他提出来要给他俩免单，但被罗杰斯拒绝了。他俩披上外套，罗杰斯说，“阿尔贝托，谢谢你。噢，我给你介绍我同事乔希·莱斯特了吗？”Text25/14432阿尔贝托脸上先是一阵惊慌，然后又闪过绝望中一丝企盼。33“啊，还没有，不，……还没正式介绍过。”他低声下气地说。34“乔希·莱斯特。他是我刚才招收竞选班子组员。他马上就要成为我竞选团体副经理了，将负责募集捐款。假如明年我们把那位共和党人赶出白宫话，你现在看到就是我白宫办公厅主任。”Text26/14435“非常高兴见到您，莱斯特先生，非常荣幸，真。我衷心希望很快能在乔安妮餐厅再次见到二位。”36参议员看了看阿尔贝托。37“不会了，我以为没有这种可能了。”罗杰斯参议员回答道。38罗杰斯和乔希一起走进寒风凛冽夜色中。雪已经停了。Text27/144Words&Phrasesheavilyalbeitagreeablesmartlyupstatedemeanorinternshipprogressivecorruptionvoterdemocraticdemocratintellectrazordiplomathall-of-famesophisticatedstellartrumpetslotorchestracongressmanpartnershiprazor-sharpshivercompetentnominationheaveheavingpowerbroker28/144Words&Phrasessummonshrugwhatsoeverrefraincurldisdaineffortlessicyclamorswirlimpatientintimidateintimidateddoubtfulhumilitylaughablepropositionhoveraristocracyclasslessapplauseflarenostrilencounterdinerintensebreezewaiveflurryuncomfortable29/144Words&Phrasesweaklyrecruitdeputydonationrepublicanchiefofstaff30/144Words&Phrasestrackdownthinkonone’sfeetknowsth.insideoutintherunningforcurlone’slip(s)31/144Words&PhrasesFifthAvenue（美国纽约市）第五街（以考究时髦、阔绰著称）JoshLester乔希·莱斯特（人名）Virginia弗吉尼亚州（美国州名）JoRogers乔·罗杰斯（人名）Connecticut康涅狄格州（美国州名，位于美国东北部新英格兰地域）CapitolHill1（美国）国会
