När jag satte mig mittemot honom, kom en servitris fram och tog hans tomma kopp."får det vara något mer?" frågade hon. Mannen svarade tvekande. "jag..jag tror jag skulle vilja ha ett glas vatten.

I met him in the Troika, the famous Russian restaurant in the West End where I used to have lunch. He was sitting at a table alone, looking melancholy. When I sat down in front of him, a waitress came and took his empty cup. "Maybe something more?" she asked. The man hesitated and replied: "I..I think I'd like a glass of water".

Hello Casper; If I translate the way you say it would give: "Han verkade vare melankolisk" in Swedish.
Pia, can you help us please.

Thanks Casper. Well don't be sad, usually it's I who's wrong.

Perhaps it should simply be:
"He was sitting at a table alone, looking melancholy."

I'm not always right Casper, and I was to fast too give a positive vote here! Sorry ...

Yes "såg melankolisk ut" reffer to the way he looks. Lilians suggest looks fine to me.

It's not hard to understand why you missunderstood it Lene, because if it had been a little "t" at the end "såg melankoliskt ut", (e.g. genom fönstret), your translation would have been correct.

Thanks for comforting me Pia. Thanks for your help, Lilian and you Casper, once again, you're right. But I'll have you some day. Perhaps in a looong time, but just wait and see.

I was going to post something regarding the same propposal given by Pia about the "...melankoliskt..." (an adverb.), but I would say "tittade melankoliskt ut...".

How come Casper isn't a Swedish expert yet.

"såg" and "tittade" are synonyms, so I think you can use them both here.
