Talking and laughing together, they stepped out into the light. The liftman looked after them.

客人们说说笑笑走进阳光里。电梯工望着他们。

He took his key and said good night and turned to the stairs, shaking his head at the liftman.

他拿起钥匙， 道了晚安，然后转身走向楼梯， 对着电梯工摇了摇头。

The liftman slammed the gates, touched a button and instantly dropped back into the droning twilight of the well, the twilight of his own habitual stupor.

电梯工砰的一声关上门，一按按钮，电梯立即往梯井里嗡嗡响着的暗处掉了下去，那是他所习惯的黑暗。
