Pressed, the cleardingsresound.
按了一遍,清脆门铃声响起。Immediatelyin the househears the speaking voice, had the womanaudio inquiry saying: „Who outside?”
随即房子里面传来说话声,有女人声音询问说:“请问谁在外面?”Han Xuandoes not know how shouldintroduce itself, thereforeopens the mouth saying: „ Hello, welook forAmandaMs.Patton, beforesheis calledthisname, nowpossiblychanges.韩宣不知该怎么介绍自己,于是开口道:“你好,我们来找阿曼达-巴顿女士,以前她叫做这个名字,现在可能改掉了。Othersgiveinmyaddress, the demonstrationishereright, somepeopleholdmeto seeone sideher, onceold acquaintancewantedbelt/bringseveralwordstoher. ”
别人给我的地址上,显示是这里没错,有人托我来见她一面,曾经的老熟人想要带几句话给她。”„Patton?”
“巴顿?”
The locking a dooriron chaincollisionsoundtransmits, the doorwas opened, reveals a face of middle-agedfemaleblack person, is not tall, the figureis very slim, the corner of the eyehad the wrinkle, the hairto gripwith the rubber band, the chest frontsuitedark greenbib, seemed to be doing the houseworkbefore, moistenedtomanydust.
锁门铁链碰撞声传来,房门被人打开,露出一张中年女黑人的脸,个子不算高,身材挺瘦,眼角带着皱纹,头发用皮筋扎了起来,胸前套件墨绿色围兜,似乎之前在做家务,沾到不少灰尘。Shecarefully examinestime, in the middle of the visionhas the suspicion, becausethendiscovered that standsin the front, istwoyoungyoungsteryoung girls, seems likedoes not have anythreatening nature, therefore the lookgraduallystartsbecomesgentle.
她审视门外时候,目光当中带着怀疑,然后因为发现站在面前的,是两位年纪不大的少年少女,看起来没有什么威胁性,所以眼神逐渐开始变得柔和。On the facehangs up the smile, shook the headto tellHan Xuan saying: „ Amanda, Amanda Lavignie, the madameis calledthisnamenow, beforeperhapswasPatton, shehas marriedtwice.
脸上挂起笑容,摇头告诉韩宣说:“阿曼达,阿曼达-拉维尼,夫人现在叫做这个名字,以前或许是巴顿,她结过两次婚。Iam not clear aboutMadameLavignie, is actually thatperson who youmustfind, the time that Icomeis very short, justtwoweeks.
我不清楚拉维尼夫人,究竟是不是你们要找的那个人,我来的时间很短,才刚刚两个星期。
The voluntary worker who the communityassigns, usuallyfewlooks forher, a personstays here alone, the lifeneedsto look, thereforemybeing all righttimehelps.
社区分配的义工,平时几乎没人找她,独自一个人留在这里,生活需要照顾,于是我没事时候过来帮帮忙。Pleasecome to sit, Ijustmade the lunch, does not know that youdo likehaving the handpilau?
请进来坐吧,我刚做好午餐,不知道你们喜不喜欢吃手抓饭?Mycraftsmanshipis good, the friendsaid that Ishouldgo to a restaurant, is really an attractivelittle miss, my daughteris almost bigwithyou, butabsolutelydoes not haveyouattractively...... ”
我的手艺挺不错,朋友说我应该去开一家餐馆,真是个漂亮的小姑娘,我女儿跟你差不多大,但是绝对没你漂亮……”Shesizes upAnya, thenlooks atHan Xuan, Han Xuanthinks that sherecognized herself, is preparingto say„regarded the average personto be goodme”.
她打量完安雅,接着又把目光投向韩宣,韩宣以为她认出自己了,正准备开口说“把我当成普通人就好”。Whoguessed correctly,thisblack personfemalevoluntary worker, actuallyhas doubtsto askhim: „Where have Iseenyou? The Chinese restaurantdeliversto goright, looksa littlelooks familiar.”
谁猜到,这位黑人女义工,竟然疑惑问他:“我是不是在哪里见过你?中餐馆送外卖的对吧,看着有点面熟。”Otherplaceperson of Asian descentnumbersare not many, buthereisFlushing, like the person of Asian descentthought that the appearance of black personis an appearance, the black personalsothought that the people of Asian descentare almost long, the news that in additionusuallycontactsare few, even ifseesHan Xuanon the television, will not maketoomanyimpressions, shehas not recognizedhim.
其他地方黄种人数量不多,但这里是法拉盛,如同黄种人觉得黑人的外貌都是一个样子,黑人也觉得黄种人都长得差不多,再加上平时接触的新闻少,就算在电视上看见韩宣,也不会留下太多印象,她并没有认出他。Thisbest, cansave the unnecessarytrouble, Han Xuandoes not planto explain,wavingmakesGabriel, Jasonand the othersfirstleavequietly, the black personfemalevoluntary workeris turning away from the entrance, has not seenthis.
这样最好,可以省去很多不必要的麻烦,韩宣不打算多解释,悄悄挥手让加布里尔、杰森等人先离开,黑人女义工背对着门口,没看见这幕。Waits forAnyato express gratitudetoher, Han Xuansaid: „ Perhaps, withoutgoes to workin the Chinese restaurant, occasionallyIwill pass throughfromthis, Flushingthatgreatlynot?
等安雅向她道谢完,韩宣笑着说:“或许吧,没有在中餐馆上班,偶尔我会从这附近经过,法拉盛就那么大不是吗?Thankyourgood intention, Madame, wehad just eaten, the flavor of beefnoodleswas good, naturally, the handpilau was also very delicious. ”
感谢你的好意,女士,我们刚刚已经吃过了,牛肉面条的味道挺不错,当然,手抓饭也很好吃。”

黑人日常饮食,包括手抓饭,烤鸡、烤羊肉、烤牛肉等等,这些都是非洲的日常食物,他们不喜欢炖煮的方式,连香蕉、土豆也会烤完再吃,另外同样喜欢油炸食品。LeavesAfricanseveral hundredyears, mostly the black personstillretainedancestor'sfood habit, in the middle of the recipeswas also increasing the hot dog, ham, fries, hamburger, thesethingseat is quite fragrant, butis unhealthy, thispossibly is also one of the black personlife span not highreasons.
离开非洲好几百年,大多黑人仍然保留着祖先的饮食习惯,食谱当中还添加了热狗、火腿、薯条、汉堡等,这些东西吃起来比较香,但是并不健康,这可能也是黑人寿命不高的原因之一。
The westernerslikewith the knife and fork, the Orientallikingwith the chopsticks, butthat sideAfrica, eats the thingto graspwith the handgenerallydirectly.
西方人喜欢用刀叉,东方人喜欢用筷子,而在非洲那边,吃东西一般直接用手抓。Leavesconceivably, manypeopleput in the hand the barrelsimultaneously, no matterhas washed the hands, graspsfoodto put the scene in import, thisphenomenonis very normalinAfrica.
可以想象出,许多人同时将手伸进桶里,不管洗没洗手,抓一把食物放进口中的场景,这种现象在非洲很正常。
After the blacksarrive atUnited States, environmental effect on startto pay attention to hygieneby, handpilau that she said that refers toinstallingin the trayeatswith the ladle, Han Xuanhas been ableto smellto be the handpilauuniqueflavor......
黑人们来到美国后,受环境影响开始讲卫生,她所说的手抓饭,是指装在盘子里用勺子吃,韩宣已经能闻到属于手抓饭的独特味道……
The area of thisapartmentless than70square meters, the living room, kitchenandbathroom, adds on a bedroomagain, the spatial arrangementseemsverycompact.
这间公寓的面积不足七十平方米,客厅、厨房、卫生间、再加上一个卧室,空间布局显得很紧凑。Staircaseis unclean, the roomis good, in the dried flowersthroughonbottle, the pale bluechecktableclothandcabinetplaces the neatpicture and decorationthing,
楼梯道不干净,房间却挺不错的,通过瓶子里的干花、淡蓝色的格子桌布、橱柜上摆放整齐照片和装饰用品,Canguess correctly that the owner in thishouse, is the positionhas the woman of affective tonevery much. „ Right, Iam calledPoula Washington, the family/homelivethat side27streets, has married.
可以猜到这间房子的主人,是位很有情调的女人。“对了,我叫做宝拉-华盛顿,家就住在二十七街那边,已经结婚了。My husbandis the construction worker, moreoverI can also receive the wages, in the family/homehasthreechildren, whatis biggestwill be the elder sister, the youngest sonwill just speak, herelder sistertook care ofhiminhomehelp. ”
我丈夫是位建筑工人,而且我也能拿到工资,家里有三个孩子,最大的是姐姐,小儿子才刚刚会说话,她姐姐在家帮忙照顾他。”Foreverdo not underestimate the mouth of black person, regardless of the opposite partyismaleisfemale, Han XuanandAnyadistinctanythinghad not asked,sheherins and outs, allexposedquickly.
永远别低估黑人的嘴巴,无论对方是男是女,韩宣和安雅分明什么都没问,她就快把自家老底,全都暴露出来了。Raises legsto move toward the room, only thenseveralfardistances, MadameWashingtonstandsin the entranceknocksknocks on a door, inquired: „ Ms.Lavignie, somepeoplelooks foryou, can wego in?
抬腿走向房间,只有几步远的距离,华盛顿夫人站在门口敲敲门,询问说:“拉维尼女士,有人过来找你,我们可以进去吗?Ate the time of lunchto arrive, Iwas you handpilau that likedhaving...... ”
吃午餐的时间到了,我做了你最爱吃的手抓饭……”In the room, hears the angryspeaking voice: „ Wholooks forme?!
房间里面,传来气恼说话声:“谁找我?!Mythatdamnson, extorted my pitifulwoman? Toldhimmenot to havemoney, Ireallydid not havemoney! ”
我那该死的儿子,又来勒索我这位可怜的女人了吗?告诉他我没钱,我真的没钱!”Hearsthese wordstime, the Han Xuanexpressionis a little ignorant, thinks that sheafteroldPattonbids good-byemarriesagain, andhad a son, moreoverpersonalityverybadson......
听到这句话时候,韩宣表情有点懵,以为她跟老巴顿分手之后再次结婚,并且生了个儿子,而且还是性格很糟糕的儿子……„No, isyourfriendmakesthemlookyour, twoyoungchildren!”
“没有,是你老朋友让他们过来找你的,两位年纪不大的孩子!”MadameWashingtonwas away from the gate saying that turned headto looktoHan XuanwithAnya, helplesssaid: „ MadameLavigniehad the Alzheimer's, sometimesis goodto be badsometimes, recently the situationwas getting more and more serious.
华盛顿夫人隔着门说完,扭头看向韩宣跟安雅,无奈开口说:“拉维尼夫人得了老年痴呆症,有时好有时坏,最近情况越来越严重了。Sheoftenreceiving the communitystaff of electrical bill, fantasized that becomesownson, but the opposite partynamecould not even say, last yearslappedothersbewilderedly, ourcommunity organizationsdiscovered that shefell ill.
她常把收电费的社区工作人员,幻想成自己的儿子,但却连对方名字都说不出,去年莫名其妙打了别人一巴掌,我们社区组织才发现她生病。In fact, MadameLavigniedoes not have the children, listening to the neighbor saying that has not seenherfamily member, the celebrating a holidaytimewas a personpassed.
事实上,拉维尼夫人没有子女,听邻居说也没有看过她的亲人,过节时候都是一个人度过。Herelives for 12years, looksherpersonto be few, retiresto go the sossupermarketto workto take care of itself, the insurance is also thiscompanyhelpsbuy, banksaidherdeposit, only then more than 2000US dollars, has used up.
在这里住十二年,来找过她的人屈指可数,退休前去sos超级市场打工照顾自己,保险也是这家公司帮忙买的,银行方面说她的存款只有两千多美元,早就用完了。Later, wearrange the personto take care ofherevery day, ifaccording to the presentsituationdevelops, likely mustdeliver to the senior citizensanatoriumher, the expensegovernmentundertakespart, herinsurance can also solvepart, remainingis leftbyourcommunity.
之后,我们每天安排人过来照顾她,如果按照现在的情况发展下去,很可能要把她送到老年人疗养院,费用政府承担一部分,她的保险也可以解决一部分,剩下的由我们社区出。
After yougo, do not annoyherto be angry, MadameLavignie the character is usually very good, the outbreaktimeis angrycries, moreover that will not stop, has experiencedoverthreetimes, Ireallysoonreceivedenough, comfortingherwas useless. ”
你们进去以后千万别惹她生气,拉维尼夫人平时性格很好,发病时候一生气就大哭,而且是不会停的那种,已经见识过三次,我真的快要受够了,安慰她根本没用。”
The Alzheimer'sisbecause the nervous systemdegenerationcreates, the cause of disease is still not bright, thereforedoes not have the medicinemedicine.
老年痴呆症是由于神经系统退化造成,病因至今未明,所以无药可医。
The patientscan the survivala long time, after losing the independentviability, in this periodneeded the personto look, towill even losefinallyremembers,it can be said thatplantsis not the incurable illnessincurable illness.
病人可以存活很长一段时间,失去独立生活能力后,期间需要人照顾,到最后甚至会丧失记忆,可以说是种不是绝症的绝症。In the societyfrequentlypresents the senior citizento walkto throw the event, mostlyisbecause the Alzheimer'screates, the senior citizen of falling ill, onlyknows that proceedsaimless, actuallyforgotfamily/homewhere, thisis very dangerous.
社会上经常出现老年人走丢事件,大多都是由于老年痴呆症造成,生病的老年人,只知道漫无目的往前走,却忘记了家在哪里,这样很危险。Listens toMadameWashington'sintroduction, guessed that shehas possibly been at the intermediate stage of Alzheimer'sorlater period, thisin the meetingscenewithHan Xuanimaginationis different, cannotthink that herevening sceneis so miserable.
听完华盛顿夫人的介绍,猜测她可能已经处在老年痴呆症的中期或者晚期,这跟韩宣想象中的见面场景不同,也没能想到她的晚景如此凄凉。Deeplysighed, reallydoes not know that oldPattonheard after thismatter, what kind ofmoodcanbe.
深深叹了口气,真不知道老巴顿听说这种事情后,会是怎么样的心情。
The doorwas openedbyMadameWashington, Han XuansawthatoldPattononceex-wife.
房门被华盛顿夫人打开,韩宣看见了那位老巴顿曾经的前妻。Herfullheadare the whitecurlhair, handlesneatly, the bodywearcovers entirely the blueskirt of whiteflower petal, on the neckhangsoneskewer of pearls, the lookbrings a confusedness, probablyis in a daze, fromcovering entirely the face of wrinkle, the youngtimeshouldbe very attractive.
她满头都是白色卷曲头发,打理得整整齐齐,身上穿着布满白色花瓣的蓝色裙子,脖子上挂着一串珍珠,眼神带着点迷茫,好像正在发呆,从布满皱纹的面庞来看,年轻时候应该挺漂亮。A moment ago, Han Xuanfrom the cabinet, sawMadameLavignie the picture of middle-agedtime, was longtrulygood. It is said the oldPattonyoungtime is also very graceful, two peoplecan be called is a match, what a pity the Americansoul and thought that extremelyinZiyou, wantsto makethembe togetherwithsomebodywholeheartedlyverydifficultlyfor a lifetime, verydifficultly......
刚才,韩宣从橱柜上,看见了拉维尼夫人中年时候的照片,长得确实挺不错。据说老巴顿年轻时候也挺帅,两人称得上般配,可惜美国人的灵魂和思想,都太过于自由、过于自我,想让他们一心一意跟某个人相处一辈子,很难很难……
The room is also very clean, fills the thickflowerfragrance, smells like the lily, the old person who contracts the Alzheimer's, meets the feces and urine/size thenincontinenceoccasionally, therefore the flavoris ill-smelling, shecurrentlydoes not havetothatsituationseriously.
房间也挺干净,充满浓浓的花香味,闻起来像是百合,很多患有老年痴呆症的老人,偶尔会大小便失禁,因此味道难闻,她目前还没严重到那种地步。Looks at the look of opposite party, who seems recalling is in itself, the Han Xuancorners of the mouthgo up, show the harmlesssmile, introduced oneself: „ Hellowoman.
看对方的眼神,似乎在回忆自己是谁,韩宣嘴角上翘,露出无害的笑容,自我介绍说:“你好女士。
Sorry takes the libertyto cometo disturbyou, has your beforehandacquaintance, entrustingmeto have a look atyou, before you, came from the Montanastatewas right? Augustatown/subdues? ”
很抱歉冒昧上门打扰到你,有位你以前的熟人,委托我过来看看你,请问你以前是来自于蒙大拿州对吗?奥古斯塔镇?”Beforewas also worriedto find fault the person, whendiscovered that Ms.Lavignieheardthese wordstime, the revealedsurprisedexpression, Han Xuanunderstandsoneselflookedright, „the Augustatown/subdues”thisname, veryobviouslywas excitingshe.
之前还担心找错人,当发现拉维尼女士听见这句话时候,露出的惊讶表情,韩宣就明白自己找的没错了,“奥古斯塔镇”这个名字,很显然刺激到她。Continued: „ You...... stillrememberPatton?
继续说:“请问你……还记得卡奈克-巴顿么?Heknowsaccidentally/surprisinglythisaddress, howmakingmehelphave a look atyouto crossrecently, Mr.Pattonwantedyournews. ”
他意外知道了这个地址,让我帮忙过来看看你最近过得怎么样,巴顿先生想要得到你的消息。”Augustown/subduesmakesherslightlysurprised, oldPattonfull name„”Patton, is much biggerto the impulse that frontold womanhas, becauseMs.Lavignieexcitedat presentoneblack, the legsent the soft seatin the bedside.
奥格斯塔镇只是让她略微惊奇,老巴顿的全名“卡奈克-巴顿”,对面前这位老妇人产生的冲击力大得多,拉维尼女士因为激动眼前一黑,腿发软坐在了床边。Waitsto get back one's composureslightly, sheraised the head, askedhappilyHan Xuansaid: „ Patton?
等稍微回过神,她抬起头,开心问韩宣说:“巴顿?My husbandcame back, the son, callsyour fatherto eat meal, who were thesetwowomen? ”
我的丈夫回来了吗,儿子,去叫你爸爸过来吃饭,这两个女人是谁?”„......”
“……”
The Han Xuaninstantaneousheadache, this momentfeelingmatterwas more troublesome, as ifshouldmakeoldPattoncomepersonallygoodone......韩宣瞬间头疼,此刻感觉事情更麻烦了,似乎应该让老巴顿亲自过来一趟才行......Pleaserememberthisbookfirst rounddomain name:. Read the cell phoneversionreadingwebsite:
