Question

求全文翻译，急！！！！

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them anothershot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, '“I’m having a dinner party' means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat. " Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go.
But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store.
For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club

Answer 1

我讨厌宴会。但我决定给他们另一个惊喜，因为我在伦敦。Mallery邀请我和我的朋友。因为宴会在伦敦非常不同于那些回到纽约。在那里,“我有一个宴会的意思是:“我在餐馆预订一张桌子12你负担不起,我们将分享checque均匀,无论你吃什么。“更糟糕的是,在曼哈顿总是有人离开之前的账单来了。他们会把现金,他们欠的一半,然后像我这样的人,谁不喝,付出更多的努力。但如果我试图使用相同的把戏,女主人会大喊:“你要去哪里?”,它不像我可以说我有地方去:人人都知道我无处可去。
但是在伦敦,宴会是在人们的家园。不仅如此,客人是一个有趣的组合。我最后一次去,客人来自法国、印度。丹麦和尼日利亚;就像在纽约召开的联合国。组合不太引人注目。就像一个收集Bloomingdale ' s,一个著名的百货商店。
对于纽约人来说,谈论世界其他地方意味着在纽约布鲁克林和皇后区。但在Mallery的,当我说我是缅甸最近,人们知道它在哪里。在纽约的人通常会认为这是一个新俱乐部。
