On the ship, the food was only short order and short drink.

在船上，惟一的食物是快餐和烈酒。

I got the office bottle out of the deep drawer of the desk and took a short drink.

我从桌子很深的抽屉里拿出办公室的瓶子， 喝了一小口。

I walked around the office a little to cool off, bought myself a short drink, looked at my watch again and didn't see what time it was, and sat down at the desk once more.

我在办公室里转了一圈凉快凉快，给自己买了一小杯饮料，又看了看手表，没看清现在几点，然后又在办公桌前坐下。
