参考译文
在阿姆斯特丹,有一个不同寻常的儿童饭馆。它是由孩子们来经营的。从经理、厨师到服务员和其他人都是些6到l2岁的孩子。他们自己完成所有必需的工作,比如做饭和清洁。这些孩子们都是从阿姆斯特丹挑选出来的。经过培训后,他们可以在饭馆里工作4个星期。他们都很喜欢自己的工作。
这个餐厅在1983年由一个女厨师创办,她想给孩子们一些机会让他们学会成为对社会有用的人。现在她是那里惟一的大人,但是她的工作只是照顾孩子们。
这个饭馆几乎受到每一个人的欢迎。由于那里只有20个位置,所以饭馆里总是满的。
如果你想在这个饭馆用餐,你必须提前告诉他们。不同的人一顿饭的花费是不一样的。通常,成年人是每人4美元,小孩就便宜得多了。它的营业时间只限于周六晚上和周日下午。
