EOC - LONDON

倫敦酒館裡的雪茄與酒氣，架著一部老式的點唱機。
人聲鼎沸，播著叮嚀叮嚀的歌。
人群搓著手套下暖了的手，圍在桃木吧檯邊聊著有的沒的家常。
 
威士忌酒的季節，搖著冰杯暖和。有人在說起某個二十年前的
珍妮佛、在這裡同一間酒館的約會，有人在角落的卡位自己
晃著一杯乾琴酒像一幅竇加的畫。

但這些都被淹沒在了人聲的快樂與喜氣當中，還重要嗎？
好酒當前，今天是聖誕前夕。我們舉杯飲醉。

Cigar and liquor, old fashioned tavern with a 
jingling jukebox.
 
Loud crowd gathering around the wooden bar for the chitter and chats,
who’s here tonight, you’ve got a pence? It’s whisky season, pick a boogie.
 
Somebody talks about a Jennifer he brought here 20 years ago,
somebody drinks dry gin alone half-wasted like a Degas painting at the corner.
But all that drowns in the joyful noise and does not matter no more.
 
It’s Christmas Eve. Let’s toast to that.
