格雷茨基餐厅双语观后感(At Wayne Gretzky's)
俩娃俩妈,两代发小,两国两城,两种文化。天马行空,鸡毛蒜皮,甜酸苦辣,人生滋味。

写在前面,奥妈的话:从韦恩·格雷兹基餐厅回来第二天,多伦多因为确诊病例增多从Stage3退回到Stage 2+,28天的禁限令包括餐厅堂食,而后又延期一周。11月14日多伦多进入Red Zone,少于10人开放的期望落空。更糟糕的是,本周一,多伦多和皮尔区开始至少为期四周的“宅家令"(违者将受重罚),令疫情期间备受打击的餐饮业雪上加霜。现在,我们除了上学和必要的活动之外重新“宅家”。真希望疫苗是那束光,早日照亮我们的生活,让一切重回正轨。因为失去,所以珍惜。大家多保重,感恩节快乐!
言归正传,以下就是小奥写的格雷茨基餐厅观后感:
One year ago, when it was my birthday, we went to the Hockey Hall of Fame, but missed out on going to Gretzky's restaurant because I had a hockey game. It was almost thanksgiving in Canada and, I knew that the Gretzky' restaurant will be closed on October 8, 2020. I couldn't miss it the last day when it is the birthday of Gretzky's dad.
去年我生日那天,我们参观完冰球名人馆因为有比赛,错过了去韦恩·格雷兹基餐厅的机会。上个月加拿大感恩节前,听说餐厅10月8日(那天是韦恩爸爸的生日)要停业,我下决心不能再错过。
I invited my new friend to come along with me. We had a lot of fun that day at school, but even better was that we would go to the restaurant together. I really wanted toget a last chance of eating at Gretzky's, and I got to do it. It was a special experience!
我邀请了我的新朋友跟我一起去。我们在学校已经玩得很开心了,一想到晚上的计划就更兴奋。我真的很盼望有最后的机会去那里吃东西,我必须去。那将是一个多么美妙的经历!
The restaurant attracts both tourists and locals alike. It stands out by the number 99 in the front, which is the jersey number of Wayne Gretzky. There is also Wayne's signature up front. If you don't know what 99 and Wayne Gretzky stand for, the spinning hockey player on the roof can tell. Conveniently, the address of the restaurant is 99 Blue Jays Way.
该餐厅吸引着游客和当地人。它的门牌号是99,这是韦恩·格雷兹基的球衣号码。餐厅的招牌是韦恩的签名。如果你不知道99和Wayne Gretzky代表什么,那么楼顶上旋转的冰球运动员就能告诉你。方便起见,餐厅的地址是99 Blue Jays Way。
Being proud of himself as a Canadian, Gretzky, the hockey legend opened this restaurant in 1993. He put his old memorabilia collected by his dad into use and connected with his fans over there.He hosted his retirement party at the restaurant in 1999. It has become a popular place in Toronto in the past 27 years.
冰球巨星韦恩·格雷兹基1993年开了这家餐厅,他为自己是加拿大人而骄傲。他用父亲收藏多年的纪念品来布置餐厅,并通过这个餐厅与球迷们联系在一起。他1999年在这里举办了他的退休大聚会。27年来,这个餐厅已经成为多伦多一个流行的聚会场所。他1999年在这里举办了他的退休大聚会。27年来,这个餐厅已经成为多伦多一个流行的聚会场所。
It was raining when we came for visit. From far away on the Blue Jays Way, I could see the rotating hockey player, a sign as big as a real person on top of the roof in the corner of the street. Getting closer, a huge number 99 is in front of the restaurant. Visitors were lined up, chatting and taking pictures.
我们到餐厅时雨还在下。我在Blue Jay街道的老远就看到了街角大楼屋顶上有一个跟冰球运动员真人一样大的标志在旋转,走近一些,一个巨大的99号数字矗立在餐厅前,排队的人在聊天和拍照。
Not too long, a gentleman who looked very well dressed came out to greet us. I took a glance at the door handles. Interesting, it was made by skate blades! Sadly the restaurant was hanging up its skates to make room for a new condo tower.
没过多久,有位绅士出门来招呼我们进去。我无意中瞥了一眼门把手,真有趣,把手是由溜冰鞋制成的!一想到餐厅不得不为新的公寓大楼腾出空间,我就觉得有点难过,这个小把手像在替主人表达要“挂靴”的意思。
Just as we entered, a manager passed us two t-shirts with the Gretzky's logo on it (only for kids XD). I was kind of surprise.
就在我一进门的时候,餐厅经理递来两件印有韦恩·格雷兹基标志的T恤衫(只给小孩子),我有点儿小惊讶。
Inside the building was very cozy and warm, and kind of reminded me of that time we went to Algonquin and went in to that little hotel, which was also pretty cozy. It was both modern and medieval at the same time. It was warm and cozy, just like my house, but cozier.
餐厅里面非常舒适温暖,让我想起去阿冈昆进入那家小旅馆时的感觉,也非常舒适,它的建筑风格既现代又有点儿中世纪的味道,舒适温暖就像我家,但比我家更舒适。
The restaurant was full. Most of the visitors were adults. Only three other kids with their young parents were behind our table. People were all dressed well. Everybody chatted and smiled.Waiters were friendly. No one looked sad even though it was the last day of the restaurant.
餐厅很满,基本上都是成年人。只有我们后面那张桌子坐着一对年轻夫妇和三个小孩。人们穿着得体,喝酒、聊天,脸上挂着笑容。服务员很友好。尽管是最后一天营业,没感到有谁难过。
I loved everything there and haven't seen everything that the restaurant had to offer yet. There is a balcony, and another half of the ground floor and lots of different food that I haven't seen yet.
我喜欢这里的每样东西,尽管我并没有看全。我没有看到二楼的阳台,和第一层的另一半,许多食物我都没有见过。
We discovered some memorabilia while we were waiting. The partially hidden back corridor was full of Gretzky history. There were a lot of newspaper articles and some jerseys, and hockey sticks that Gretzky used when he was still playing.
等着上菜的期间,我们发现了一些纪念品。有一部分纪念品隐藏在后面的走廊里,充满了格雷茨基的历史。其中有很多他还在打球时的报纸文章和球衣,还有很多冰球杆。
My favorite one was the cereal box that had some Gretzky hockey cards inside (the picture was pretty bad). I recognized a news cover from a sports illustrated book that I had. "Magic" Johnson (Basketball Star) welcomed Gretzky Wayne to Los Angeles.
我最喜欢的是装在一个麦片盒里的Gretzky冰球卡(照片非常糟糕)。另外,有一本体育插图书的新闻封面让我想起了我也有这类书。书里有一张篮球明星Earvin Johnson欢迎韦恩·格雷茨基到洛杉矶的照片。
I also found some pieces of Wayne's childhood by looking at a photo where Wayne was skating on the pond with his dad. Other pieces of memories were Wayne's score sheets of peewee hockey and some other photos where Wayne looked very happy in these photos.Later,I saw a picture of Wayne holding the Stanley Cup with his teammates.
看韦恩与父亲在一块冻了冰的小池塘上滑冰的照片时,我还发现了其他几张韦恩童年时期的照片,比如他打Peewee时的比赛记分表,和另外一些,韦恩在这些照片中看起来非常开心。后来,我看到一张他和队友高举斯坦利杯的照片。
On my way to the table, I got a glimpse of the kitchen. It had a very pleasant smell. Everyone was kind to me, and the chefs were very hardworking. The kitchen looked very fancy.
在我回餐桌的路上,我去厨房门口转了一圈,味道闻起来很香。每个人对我都很好,厨师们都很努力。厨房看起来很漂亮。
I loved everything about the food. We ordered a lot. The restaurant offered everything for only 5 dollars for the closing day. It was amazing. We got Chicken Wrap,Crispy Bacon, Beef Hamburger,Fries, Sprite and Apple Juice.All fresh.
我每样食物都很喜欢,我们点了很多。最后一天餐厅答谢顾客,每样菜品及饮料仅售5加币,真是太棒了。鸡肉卷、脆皮培根、牛肉汉堡、薯条、雪碧和苹果汁,摆满了一桌,都很新鲜。
We laughed at some soccer bloopers, and we watched a soccer game. I think the best thing about sports bars are after you place order; you can enjoy yourself while you wait by watching a nice soccer game. The big screen TVs have got to be my favorite thing in the bar XD.
我们嘲笑了一些足球运动员,并且观看了一场足球比赛。我认为体育酒吧最好的地方是,当您点完菜,就可以一边看一场精彩的足球比赛一边尽情享受。在XD酒吧中,我最喜欢的是大屏幕电视。
When we finally left, I saw some Gretzky's mugs on the table at entrance. It was labeled "Free, please take." I was confused for a bit, but thought that since it was the last day of the restaurant, they could give extra mugs.It was really a good souvenir to me. I couldn't even believe that we were the last customers.
当我们最后离开时,我看到在门口的桌子上有一些格雷茨基啤酒杯,标签上写着“免费,请带走。”我有些疑惑,但我想餐厅关门,他们可以把多余的酒杯送一些给顾客。对我来说,这真是个很不错的纪念品。我甚至不敢相信我们是韦恩·格雷兹基餐厅的最后一批顾客!
I am so glad that we made decision to Wayne Gretzky's. I enjoyed the last meal.I explored the nice design and placements of the restaurants, and saw all the cool stuffthere. I hope to explore more in future about Gretzky's other business. I also want to be as humble, respected and honored as Wayne.
决定去格雷茨基餐厅这件事令我开心,最后那顿晚餐很美妙。我在尽情享受美味、观看球赛的同时,探索了餐厅里精美的设计和布置,并在那里见识了所有很有意义的收藏品。我还想进一步了解韦恩·格雷兹基的其他生意,我想像他一样谦逊、受人尊敬并享有荣誉。
I am very glad that I had this opportiunity to visit Gretzky's restaurant during Covid 19, and before it closed. I am very happy to have experienced Hockey as part of my life. I am grateful for everything!
我很高兴能在Covid19期间以及Gretzky餐厅关闭之前有机会去参观。冰球经历是我生活的一部分,我感到非常开心。 我为一切感恩!
