解析：

(1)	still这里的意思是“不动的，无风的”。渲染炎热、郁闷的海滩气氛，为下文做辅垫。
(2)	游客和侍者的脾气在这种环境下也越来越烦躁，似乎是在迎合这种环境
(3)	lonely寂寞的；curious好奇的；bad-tempered脾气暴躁的。根据上文的attractive)吸引人的)和下文的叙述，这里只能是well-dressed(穿着漂亮的)，这样才能是一对浪漫夫妻。
(4)	wait for service顾客在餐馆就座后“等待服务”(摆放餐具、倒茶、点菜等)。
(5)	下文中有“…to place the table in the seawater”，能放在海水中的饭桌不可能是“木桌子”，而是“金属桌子”。
(6)	他们搬起桌子，离开原来的地方，步人海水。
(7)	那位丈夫又回来，搬椅子。
(8)	他(丈夫)彬杉有礼地让妻子就座在没膝海水中的椅子上，然后自己才坐下。
(9)	下文中有明显的暗示这时出现的是一位具有幽默感的“侍者”。servant指家庭中雇佣的仆人或佣人。
(10)	set the table在饭桌上摆好刀叉等餐具准备开饭。这是固定说法。
(11)	在饭店中，give the order是顾客点菜；take the order是服务生对顾客点的菜做记录。menu是“菜单”，bill是“账单”。
(12)	面对此情此景，你能不失声大叫吗？anxious焦虑的；familiar熟悉的；final最后的。
(13)	his＝the waiter’s，这里指侍者的其他顾客，游客(tourists)此时相对于waiter来说的身份是“顾客(customers)”。A项具有很强的干扰作用。fellow同伙；assistant助手。
(14)	那位侍者托着酒和杯子，毫不犹豫地又一次踏人海水中给那对夫妻上酒。
(15)	serve此处的意思不是“服务”，而是“供饭菜，将酒、饭等端上饭桌”。
(16)	此时人群对这对夫妻的敬酒报以欢呼和鲜花。insist坚持要求；agree同意；undertone理解。
(17)	这时又有三张桌子加入到在海水中享用午餐的队伍中。settle up结算(欠债、账单等)。
(18)	呼应上文，顾客不能在海水中用餐，为什么不能呢？
(20)	有时候，我们应当考虑越过常规的界限，尽情享受生活。
