英文短篇故事（纽约）288 Lots of Meat and Feet

（单词翻译）

 　　The Big Apple BBQ was at Madison Square Park. It occurs every June for one weekend. There were live musicians on a music stage. There were two beer gardens. There were ice cream floats and fried pies. But mostly there was meat—barbecued meat. There were almost 20 barbecue vendors². They sold baby back ribs³. They sold smoked sausage. They sold pulled pork shoulder. They sold beef brisket. There were long lines at every vendor¹. A barbecue plate was only $8. "What's beef brisket?" Simon asked a vendor. She said, "It's breast meat. It's boneless. You can order it fatty or lean." Simon ordered fatty brisket. He got four small pieces. No wonder it's only $8, he thought. But the meat was delicious. He threw the empty plate into one of the many trashcans. A woman standing⁴ nearby said, "This trashcan is the only place where there is no line."
