鲁lǔ镇zhèn的de酒店jǐu diàn的de格局gé jú,是shì和hé别bié处chù不同bù tóng的de:都dōu是shì当dàng街jiē一yī个gè曲qǔ尺chǐ形xíng的de大dà柜台guì tái。

The taverns of Lu town were built differently — a great L-shaped counter facing the street.

孔kǒng乙yǐ己jǐ是shì站zhàn着zhuó喝hē酒jǐu而ér穿chuān长zhǎng衫shān的de唯一wéi yī的de人rén。他tā对duì人rén说话shuō huà,总是zǒng shì满mǎn口kǒu之zhī乎hū者zhě也yě,教jiāo人rén半bàn懂dǒng不bù懂dǒng的de。

Kong Yiji alone drank standing yet wore the scholar's gown — peppered speech with zhihu zheye.

孔kǒng乙yǐ己jǐ一yī到dào店diàn,所有suǒ yǒu喝hē酒jǐu的de人rén便biàn都dōu看kān着zhuó他tā笑xiào。有人yǒu rén叫jiào道dào:孔kǒng乙yǐ己jǐ,你nǐ脸liǎn上shàng又yòu添tiān上shàng新xīn伤shāng疤bā了liǎo!

When he came in all the drinkers laughed: Kong Yiji, a fresh scar on your face!

他tā给gěi孩子hái zi们men分fēn茴huí香xiāng豆dòu,一yī人rén一yī颗kē——多duō乎hū哉zāi?不bù多duō也yě。

He gave the children fennel beans — one each — 'not too many? no, not too many.'
