1.Translate the following Chinese into English.
At the door to the restaurant, a stunning, porcelain-faced woman in traditional costume asked me to remove my shoes. This done，I entered one of the low-ceilinged rooms of the little floating house，treading cautiously on the soft tatami matting and experiencing a twinge of embarrassment at the prospect of meeting the mayor of Hiroshima in my socks.2AI He was a tall，thin man，sad-eyed and serious. Quite unexpectedly，the strange emotion which had overwhelmed me at the station returned，and I was again crushed by the thought that I now stood on the site of the first atomic bombardment，where thousands upon thousands of people had been slain in one second，where thousands upon thousands of others had lingered on to die in slow agony.
