Translation examples
Der Teejunge nahm es also mit und bewahrte es bis Dienstschluss auf. Die Leute waren auf ihn angewiesen, um über die Runden zu kommen. Sie waren fuchsteufelswild, als er nicht mehr erschien.
So the tea boy was the person who took it away and kept it until the end of the day. He was essential to their livelihood. They were furious when I took him away.
Denn die eigentliche Aufgabe des Teejungen bestand nicht darin, Tee zu bringen, sondern das Geld mitzunehmen, das sich an den Reservierungsschaltern ansammelte.
Because the real significance of the tea boy was not that he delivered tea but that he took away all the accumulated cash from the reservation windows. There could be a raid at any time and if you’re caught with all that cash you have no way of explaining it.
