We have reached number two on the Bund, the southern end of the row. This is the former Shanghai Club, put up in 1910 for the British businessmen of the settlement. Six storeys, a pair of baroque cupolas1 on the roof, and six Ionic columns holding up the middle of the facade. It was designed by Tarrant and Morrison, and it went up on the site of an earlier clubhouse from 1864.
我们走到了外滩二号，这一排的南端。这里是上海总会旧址，1910 年为租界里的英国商人所建。六层，屋顶两个巴洛克小穹顶，立面正中六根爱奥尼柱。设计者是塔兰特和马礼逊，地基下面还压着一座 1864 年的老会所。
The thing this building is famous for is on the ground floor. A single mahogany2 bar counter running just over thirty metres down the length of the room, said at the time to be the longest bar in the East. It is still there, restored, and you can walk in and see it. The room was rebuilt to the 1910 drawings when the hotel opened in 2010, and the counter was pieced back together from what survived.
这幢楼出名靠的是底层的一样东西。一条整根桃花心木的吧台，顺着房间长边铺出三十多米，当年号称远东最长的酒吧。它还在，修复过了，走进去就能看到。2010 年这里改成酒店时，这个厅照 1910 年的图纸复原，吧台是把留下来的部分一段段拼回去的。
The bar had an unwritten4 seating order. The end nearest the window, with the view of the river, belonged to the taipans3, the heads of the big trading houses. Junior clerks drank at the far end near the door. Where a man stood at this counter told you exactly where he stood in the settlement, and nobody had to say a word about it. Chinese residents were not members at all until well after the Second World War.
吧台上有一套不成文的座次。靠窗那头看得见江，归大班，也就是各大洋行的头脑。小职员在靠门那头喝。一个人站在这条台面的哪一段，就说明了他在租界里的位置，谁都不必开口点破。华人在二战结束很久以后才成为会员。
The club closed after 1949. From the fifties the building housed a seamen's club, and from 1971 it was the Dongfeng Hotel. In 1989 the first Kentucky Fried Chicken in Shanghai opened in this building, and local people still bring it up. In 2010 it reopened as the Waldorf Astoria after a long restoration, and the lobby, the staircase and the bar are open to anyone who walks in. Of the whole Bund row this is the easiest interior to show a group without booking anything.
总会 1949 年以后停办。五十年代起这里做过海员俱乐部，1971 年改成东风饭店。1989 年上海第一家肯德基就开在这幢楼里，本地人现在还会提起。2010 年长时间修复后重开为华尔道夫酒店，大堂、楼梯和酒吧对所有走进去的人开放。外滩整排楼里，这一幢的内部是最容易带团进去看的，不用预约。
