Lies on one's sideto looktoout of the window, in the jet blackskyis hanging the innumerablestars.韩宣躺在床上,辗转反侧难以入睡,幸好是单人间,倒不至于打扰到别人。侧卧看向窗外,漆黑天空中挂着无数星星。Providencemidsummeris very beautiful, shouldbe ableto appreciatethiswonderfulstarry skycomfortably, the boycannot calm the mind.
普罗维登斯的盛夏光景很美丽,本该能够闲适欣赏这幅美妙星空,男孩却怎么也静不下心。
The birdinsectcrymakeshimsomewhatagitated, even if the air conditioningwhistlingmakes noise, could not subside the dryness and heat of Han Xuaninnermost feelings.
鸟虫叫声让他有些烦躁,即使空调呼呼作响,也平息不了韩宣内心的燥热。Becauseheard the newsa moment ago, Hallpassed away.
因为刚才听到消息,老霍尔去世了。Hewalksis very sudden.
他走的很突然。A while ago the fathermade the phone call, said that someHallstrokes, the lower partwas numb, can only take a walkby the wheelchair, wantsto waithalf a month later, took summer vacationto have a look athim, what a pitynowallare late.
前段时间父亲打来电话,说老霍尔有些中风,下半身麻木,只能靠轮椅走动,原本想等半个月后,放暑假去看看他,可惜现在一切都迟了。Hallis a verycompetentneighbor.
霍尔是个很称职的邻居。BeforeAugsburgsells out the pasture, twofamily membersrelatefrequently, severalyears ago Snow Mountain Ranchexpands, is neighboringwithhisSmithpastureboundary, thisrelationsalsobecomecloser.
在奥格斯格卖掉牧场之前,两家人彼此之间就经常联系,几年前雪山牧场扩大,跟他的史密斯牧场地界相邻,这种关系随之变得更加密切。Close neighbor better than a distant relative, toHan Xuan, Hallis„close neighbor”representative.
远亲不如近邻,对韩宣来说,老霍尔就是“近邻”中的代表人物。
The smalltime, Hallis holdingHan Xuanfrequentlyintimately, butheresistedthismatterat that timevery much, for this reasonhas also pulled outHall'sbeard, whenever the huntingprojects on the game, Haarwoulddeliveringcomes.
小时侯,老霍尔经常亲密抱着韩宣,不过当时他很抗拒这件事情,为此还拔过霍尔的胡子,每当狩猎打到野味,霍尔总会送些过来。At the birthday partyin the older generationcountshimvividly, like50-60 years old, 78types of cocktailsdoes not mixis drinkingis all right, evenalcohol capacitymost famousJohnwas filledto fall face downbyhim.
生日派对上老一辈里就数他最活泼,一点都不像50-60岁,七八种鸡尾酒混着喝都没事,连酒量最出名的约翰都被他灌趴下过。Hallis a verypureperson, usuallyprobablychild, hismindcontinuouslyon the Montanaland, there birthanddeath, Smithpasturealong with the entirelife of thisseniorrancher.
霍尔是个很纯粹的人,平时像是个孩子,他的心灵一直都在蒙大拿的土地上,在那里出生和死亡,史密斯牧场伴随着这个老牧场主的整个人生。Severalmonths ago when gets togetherhas added that this yearmusttheygo toMaldivesto take vacationwithHan Xuan, enjoys the old agetimewell, nowactuallywalksnot making a sound.
几个月前聚会时还说过,今年要跟韩宣他们去马尔代夫度假,好好享受晚年时光,现在却不声不响的走了。
The soulreturns to the Lordbosom that he believes that will not appear.
灵魂回归他所信仰的主的怀抱,再也不会出现。Thismakes the boyfeel that someare uncomfortable.
这让男孩觉得有些不舒服。Ratherbelieves that heis likehimself, livesinanotherspace and time.
宁愿相信他跟自己一样,又重新活在另外一个时空。
The bedheadalarm clockticktack the soundhad the rhythmto beat, walkedone after another, Han Xuanwent to sleepinearly morningtime, thislatehisdreamtolots.
床头闹钟嘀嗒声有节奏跳动,走了一圈又一圈,韩宣在凌晨时候才入睡,这晚他梦到很多东西。Dayjustdawn.
天刚蒙蒙亮。Gregorysshook to wakeon the bed, the headblurrycondition, hears the soundat this momentindistinctly.
格雷戈里斯在床上被人摇醒,脑袋此刻还是迷糊状态,隐约听到声音。„Iwantto ask for leave, Principal.”
“我想要请假,校长。”„Un? What?”
“恩?什么?”
The old manunconsciousnessopens the mouth, lifts the handto wipe the eye, raises up the pillowto rely on the bedhead, inquiredagain: „Asks for leave? Why?”
老头无意识开口,抬手擦擦眼睛,竖起枕头倚在床头,再次询问道:“请假?为什么?”„Had a veryfamiliarpersonto pass away, Iwantto go backto have a look athim.”Onlyrested for onehour, the Han Xuanspiritis somewhat dispirited, in the eyehas the blood threads, in his age, staying up lateis very rarematter, the clotheshas put on, hethoughtlong timea moment ago, finallydecided that mustgo home.
“有个很熟悉的人去世了,我想回去看看他。”只睡了一个多小时,韩宣精神有些萎靡不振,眼睛里带有血丝,在他这个年纪,熬夜是很少见的事情,衣服已经穿好,他刚才想了很长时间,终于决定要回家。„Recently the end of the periodcurriculum and workwere many, will delay your semesterresult.” The seniorprincipalconsolesto say.
“最近期末课程和作业很多,会耽误你这学期成绩的。”老校长劝慰道。„Doesn't matter, the group workbasicallydid well, so long asconformson the linefinally, moreoverIcantelephonewiththem , helping completeitat home.”
“没关系,小组作业基本上都弄好了,只要最终整合就行,而且我可以跟他们通电话,在家里帮忙完成它。”„Good, Icansay the soundtoyourteacher, looksin your semesterverysharediligently.”
“好吧,我可以跟你老师说声,看在你这学期很努力的份上。”Gregorysdiscovershimto be unusual, the racket the bedsidemakesHan Xuansit down, saidin a soft voice: „Has a vacationfor half a month, the lastweektakes a test, the school hours were only left over for severaldays, in the time the timehas listened toseveralteacherstoyourappraisal, doneunusualwas good.”
格雷戈里斯发现他异常,拍拍床边让韩宣坐下,轻声说道:“还有半个月放假,最后一周是考试,上课时间只剩下几天了,期中时候听过几位老师对你的评价,做的非常不错。”„Does not needto worryto hurry back, next semestertime, Iwill make one arrangeyouto take a testalone, thisdoes not delayyourresult, buttestdifficultywantingondifficultto be many, nowwalks? Mustdeliveryou.”
“不用着急赶回来,下学期来的时候,我会让人安排你单独考试,这不耽误你成绩,但考试难度就要难上很多了,现在就走?要不要送你。”Turns on the desk lampto wear the slipper, before the seniorprincipalarrives at the desk, pours waterto give the boy, the mouthasks.
打开台灯穿上拖鞋,老校长走到书桌前,倒了杯水递给男孩,嘴里问道。„Does not use the trouble, thank you, telephoninghas made one meetme.”
“不用麻烦,谢谢你了,已经打过电话让人来接我。”
The distant placehears the noisecoincidentally, Gregorysinclined the head and listened attentively the little while, refers to a finger/refers of space: „Yousaythis?”
刚巧远处传来噪声,格雷戈里斯侧耳倾听了会儿,指指天上:“你是说这个?”
„ Ismister,
“是的先生,Except for the drill ground, the nearbyanddoes not have anyspaciousplacecanparkit, therefore...... ” „thatgoesa bit faster, the timewill growwill have the studentto stop upmyofficeto sue.”
除了操场,附近并没有什么空旷地方能够停放它,所以……”“那快点去吧,时间长了会有学生堵我办公室投诉的。”
The seniorprincipalcracks a joke saying: „Theymustbe awakened by noise, todaywill take a stroll to live it up.”
老校长开玩笑道:“他们都要被吵醒了,今天出去散步应该会热闹点。”

……In the morningBenjaminreceives the boy, directly soarsNew YorkLaGuardia Airport.
早上本杰明接到男孩,直奔纽约拉瓜迪亚机场。Therehasarrives at the flight of Montanastatemostquickly, the speedcompared withsuiting the helicopter of short distanceflightwantsonquickmanytimes.
那里有最快到达蒙大拿州的班机,速度比适合短距离飞行的直升机要快上很多倍。Twohours of range, arrives at the Billingstime around 11 : 00, stoveSunis hangingin the top of the head.
只有两个多小时航程,到达比林斯时候才十一点多,火炉般的太阳正悬在头顶。Hasnearby the machinemouth, Martinezis lifting the playing card, abovepasted a picture, Han Xuansaw itself, covered the faceto kickhisfootshamefacedlyto avoid, pretends not the ripeappearance.
出机口附近,马丁内兹举着纸牌,上面贴了张照片,韩宣一眼就看见自己,捂脸踢他脚羞愧躲开,装作不熟的样子。„Severalmonths of yougrowmuch.”Put out a handto gesticulate the altitude, Martinezsaid: „Wasonemeterfive?”
“才几个月时间你又长高不少。”伸手比划了高度,马丁内兹说道:“有一米五了没?”Han Xuanturning headlooked aroundto look, the mouthis whispering: „Almost, my parentsthey?”韩宣扭头四处看了看,嘴里嘀咕着:“差不多吧,我爸妈他们呢?”„Went toHallhometo help, tomorrowconducts a funeral procession, the thing that mustpreparewere many.”
“去老霍尔家帮忙了,明天出殡,要准备的东西很多。”Finding the boycomplexionis not quite attractive, Martinezchanges the topic: „Yourmorningtelephoningtime, the bosstheyare not athome, Joannaprepareto makeherboyfriendmeetyou, knows, Ivolunteered, what kind of, was good to you?”
瞧见男孩脸色不太好看,马丁内兹岔开话题:“你早上打电话时候,老板他们就不在家,乔安娜准备让她男朋友来接你,知道后我就自告奋勇过来了,怎么样,对你好吧?”Raised the headto stare at the black personyoung fellowlong time, Han Xuanlightopens the mouth: „Which do youopento come?”
抬头盯着黑人小伙子半晌,韩宣淡淡开口:“你开哪辆过来的?”„...... YourJaguarxj220, it was really cool! Walks, Ileadyouto catch the wind!”
“……你的捷豹xj220,它真是酷毙了!走吧,我带你去兜兜风!”Looked at the pastfollowinghisvision, a silver-whitestreamlinerace carstopped outside, the Han Xuancorner of the eyetwitch: „Iknow!”
顺着他目光看过去,一辆银白色流线型跑车停在外面,韩宣眼角抽动:“我就知道!”Boardingis the seat belt, fast110step, opened for nearlythreehourstoward the west, FlattHeerde'ssnowy mountainappearsin the Han Xuanline of sight, heis very familiarwithherescenery.
上车就系好安全带,一路均速110迈,往西开了近三个小时,弗拉特黑德的雪山出现在韩宣视线里,他对这里风景很熟悉。Near the Snow Mountain Ranchalley, the aspicreappearsto grow, the purpleflower budstartsto ferment, welcomes the windto vacillate.雪山牧场小路边,薰衣草重现生长出来,紫色花蕾开始酝酿,迎着风左右摇摆。
The firstalfalfahas not harvested, nowhalfperson of high, the bigpieceis the high and lowgreen.
第一茬紫花苜蓿还没收割,现在有半人高,大片都是高高低低的绿色。Originallyafter a period of time, theseforage grasscanapportionHallone, last yearnurtured the beefratingto makehimget to know the benefits, delivers the backgroundbigwild boarto makeHan Qianshancomply.
本来过段时间,这些牧草会分给老霍尔一份,去年育肥牛评级让他尝到甜头,送来头大野猪才让韩千山答应下来。
After does not know, Halldaughter, but can also the intentionlikeher fatherhandle the pasture, possiblygives upthisbusinessalsoperhaps, Han Xuanis thinkingat heart, the eartransmitsthesehim who Martinezmentioned is not at the minor matter of hometime.
不知道以后老霍尔女儿,还会不会像她父亲这样用心打理牧场,可能将这笔生意作罢也说不定,韩宣心里想着,耳边传来马丁内兹说起的那些他不在家时候发生的小事。For exampleFattylove.
比如胖丁恋爱了。Saidaccuratelyis the unrequited love, sincesawanotherexotic shorthairin the Augustatown/subdueslast month, itbecamebecame emaciated, beforeevery daycaneatfive, nowdoes not have a night-time snackunexpectedly.
更准确说是单相思,自从上个月在奥古斯塔镇看到另一只异国短毛猫,它就变得消瘦了,以前每天能吃五顿,现在竟然不吃夜宵。All dayis entanglingJoanna, makingher the shoppingtimetake itself, tolook atitsonefrom afar.
整天缠着乔安娜,让她去购物时候带上自己,就为了远远看它一眼。Day in day outis all rightto squatin the wharf, according to the guess of Martinez, itwantsto catch the fishto give that onlyfemalecat.
一天到晚没事蹲在码头,按照马丁内兹的猜测,它是想去抓鱼送给那只母猫。
The fish that what a pity the shorehas not reached a deadlock, Fattywill not swim.
可惜岸边没有搁浅的鱼,胖丁也不会游泳。This is to make the cat the sadstory.
这是让猫变得悲伤的故事。Welcome the generalbookfriendsto visitreading, latest, quickest and hottestserial publicationperformsin the mobile phone userwelcometoreading.
