Fire Chief

Mc Allister



As Fire Chief Mc Allister used his extinguisher to put out the fire he couldn't help noticing that the extravagance of the interior of the club was extreme in comparison to the poor quality of the exterior. "It was a shame," he thought to himself, "that this place was burning down." He lifted his extinguisher to put out a flame on some eye-catching fabric. He knew, even if he was trying to save small pieces of the club, that the extent of the fire damage would require complete remodeling, a new facade, and an extraordinary sum of money. Mc Allister hoped also that the owners would be as extravagant as before. It had obviously been a fabulous place; the type that he had thought had become extinct. Anyhow, if they restored the place, he told himself, he would certainly return here to take his wife out to dinner.
消防隊(duì)長麥克阿利斯特用滅火器撲滅大火時(shí)，不禁注意到這家俱樂部外表相當(dāng)寒磣內(nèi)部卻極其奢華。他暗自想道：“把這里燒毀，真是太可惜了?！彼e起滅火器，想撲滅一件十分惹眼的織物上的火苗。他知道，即使他在努力搶救俱樂部的一些小物品，火災(zāi)造成的破壞程度將使俱樂部不得不徹底重建——建一個(gè)新的門面，需要一筆巨大的資金。麥克阿利斯特同時(shí)希望俱樂部的主人們還像過去一樣奢侈。這里顯然曾經(jīng)是個(gè)極好的地方——他曾以為這種地方早已絕跡了。他想，只要他們修復(fù)這個(gè)地方，他無論如何會(huì)帶妻子來這里吃飯。
