I was a croupier for 40 years. As you can see, I had a weakness for showgirls.

在那里当了40年的赌场主管。对模特一点免疫力都没有。

The croupier slipped Bond's two cards across to him with the tip of his spatula.

荷官用他的抹刀尖把邦德的两张牌滑到他面前。

" Five. Red. Low and Odd, " said the croupier obediently.

“五张。红色。低点和单点， ” 荷官从地说。

He handed a 5000-dollar plaque to the croupier and watched it slither down the table.

他将一块 5000 美元的牌匾递给荷官， 看着它从桌子上滑落。

The croupier sat up straighter in his chair and squinted sideways at Bond.

荷官在椅子上坐得更直， 斜眼看着邦德。

" Le baccarat, " intoned the croupier as he spaded the thick chips over the table to Bond.

“Le baccarat，”当他把厚厚的筹码从桌子上铲给邦德时，荷官吟诵道。

" I'll stay away, " he said to the croupier.

“会离开， ” 他对荷官说。

The pit-boss heard the buzzer and strolled over to the table just as the croupier spun the wheel.

赌场老板听到蜂鸣器响起，就在荷官转动轮子的时候走到桌子旁。

Bond took the four plaques and the ten 100-dollar notes out of his pocket and put them beside the croupier.

邦德从口袋里掏出四块牌匾和十张一百美元的钞票， 放在荷官旁边。

Well-observed pen portraits make the revolving cast of characters—Chinese underworld fixers, hapless bank employees, casino croupiers and hackers in rural England—easier to follow.

生动的人物描写让不断变换的角色——中国地世界的关系人、倒霉的银行员工、赌场发牌员以及英国乡村的黑客——更容易被理解。

The croupier's spatula reached almost apologetically across the table.

荷官的铲子几乎带着歉意地伸过桌子。

" Et le baccarat, " and the croupier eased across the table the fat tide of plaques.

“Et le baccarat”，荷官缓和了桌上的牌匾。

Indeed, she was bored — bored as though Heaven had been full of casinos with snuffy old saints for croupiers and crowns to play with.

的确，她很无聊——无聊得好像天堂里到处都是赌场，里面有肮脏的老圣徒供荷官和皇冠玩耍。

The croupier was tidying up the pile of notes.

荷官正在整理那堆钞票。

" Un banco de quatre millions, " said the croupier.

“Un banco de quatre millions，”荷官说。

The croupier lifted it delicately with his spatula and slipped it over to Bond.

荷官用他的抹刀小心翼翼地提起它， 然后把它滑给邦德。

In the silence round his own table, Bond suddenly heard a distant croupier intone: " Neuf. Le rouge gagne, impair et manque" .

在他自己桌子周围的寂静中， 邦德突然听到远处荷官的吟唱：“Neuf.Le rouge gagne, impair et manque” 。

It would be useful, but almost impossible, to mark all the cards, and it would mean the connivance at least of the croupier.

标记所有的牌是有用的， 但几乎是不可能的， 这至少意味着荷官的默许。
