When I was a server in high school I accidentally walked apron-first into a full-fledged breakup with nothing but a pitcher1 of water and a friendly, naive2 smile. There was crying. There was cursing. Napkins were thrown in faces. I backed away and hid in the bathroom for an hour.
我上高中的时候，曾当过服务员，那时候我不小心撞见一场正式的分手戏码，而我只是给他们上了一壶水，并投之以友好又天真的微笑。当时，哭泣、咒骂以及把餐巾纸扔到脸上的戏码一起上演。我慢慢地退了回去，然后在洗手间里躲了1个小时。
At the time, I had thought this was the most awkward moment that a server could ever invade. Then, I read this recent Reddit thread. Now I know how much worse it could have been. Why don't people have these conversations at home?
当时我觉得这可能是一名服务员经历过的最尴尬的瞬间了。然后，我看到了Reddit（一家新闻网站）最近发表的一个话题。现在我知道（服务员会经历）多么糟糕的情况了。人们为什么不在家里谈论这些话题呢？
