4．翻译下面的短文，注意斜体词的意义和正确表达
Last year at Christmas time my wife, three boys, and I were in France, on our way from Paris to Nice. For five wretched days everything had gone wrong. Our hotels were "tourist traps"; our rented car broke down; we were all restless and irritable in the crowded car. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dingy hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts.
It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a drab little joint shoddily decorated for the holiday. It smelled greasy. Only five tables in the restaurant were occupied. There were two German couples, two French families, and an American sailor, by himself. In the corner a piano player listlessly played Christmas music.
I was too stubborn and too tired and miserable to leave. I looked around and noticed that the other customers were eating in stony silence. The only person who seemed happy was the American sailor. While eating, he was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face.
--- From William J. Lederer "A Sailor's Christmas Gift"
去年圣诞之时，我和妻子还有三个孩子在法国，踏上了巴黎到尼斯的旅途。
接连5天不幸，凡事都糟糕透顶。我们入住的旅店都是敲诈顾客的黑店；租的车故障频频；我们在拥挤不堪的车上焦躁不安。平安夜那晚，我们住进了尼斯一个昏暗肮脏的旅馆，心里却没有一丝圣诞的喜悦。
我们出去吃饭的时候，正下着雨，天气很冷。我们找到了一家邋遢的小快餐店。这家快餐店为圣诞节做了粗劣的装饰。进门后一股油腻腻的臭味扑面而来，店里只摆着5张桌子：2对德国夫妻，2家法国人和一个独自就餐的美国水手。角落里一个钢琴手百无聊赖地弹着圣诞曲调。
我兴味索然又疲累不堪，所以固执地没走开。我打量四周，注意到其他的顾客都默然不语地顾自吃喝。唯一一个看起来兴奋的人是那位美国水手。他边吃边写信，一抹微笑让他脸神采奕奕。
---------威廉.J.莱德勒《一个水手的圣诞礼物》
