JohnandMinnaare chatting the matter on relatedwork, massivespecializedtermsmakeJiang Qihear, onlyto be ablefirstto saunterinJohnfamily/home.
约翰和米娜正在聊有关工作上的事,大量专业名词让江祺听得云里雾里,只能先在约翰家转悠起来。Canlook,hisenterprise is very indeed smoothintheseyears that Johnhas not ended up in prison. The luxury apartment, the Dapinglevel, the window, the open stylekitchen, the cloak room of successful personstandard configuration, the western-style clothes of variousdesigns, place the neattie.
可以看出来,在约翰还没有锒铛入狱的那些年他的事业的确挺顺利。高档公寓,大平层,落地窗,开放式厨房,成功人士标配的衣帽间,各种款式的西服,摆放整齐的领带。Generally the idol dramamaleLordfamily/home of dispositionis also mediocre.
一般配置的偶像剧男主的家也不过如此。Jiang Qishook the study roomslowly, on the deskhadthreepicture frames, was Minna'sgroup photo. The notebook that the workusesis also opening, aboveis the analysisreport form that Jiang Qicannot understand, on the bookshelfhas the books of manyfat, without the bookin is very cleanhas not fallen the ash, wantsto comeoftento glance throughorclean.江祺慢慢晃悠到了书房,书桌上有三个相框,都是和米娜的合照。工作用的笔记本还开着,上面是江祺看不懂的分析报表,书架上有很多大部头的书,没本书上都很干净没有落灰,想来是时常翻阅或擦拭。Jiang Qifromleftseesright, «Structural dynamics», «Basic mechanics», «FoundationBridgeConstruction», «FoundationMachinery»......江祺从左看到右,《结构动力学》、《基础力学》、《基础桥梁架构》、《基础机械》……Jiang Qi:?江祺:?Johnis notstudent? Idlesis being all rightto look that thistype of bookdoes do?
约翰不是学生物的吗?闲着没事看这种书干嘛?Looked is very mixed.
看的还挺杂。Jiang Qistrolls the entireroom, discoveredJohn who youthversion is really the lifewinnersuccessful person.江祺逛遍全屋,发现青年版的约翰果然是人生赢家成功人士。
The houseis luxurious, the repairis fine, inroomneat, the wine chest, modeldisplay casemany, place the storageWujianracket, the slideand other series ofmovementclassgoodsis showing this successful personrichhobby.
房屋奢华,装修精美,屋内整洁,酒柜,模型展示柜一个不少,放在储物间的球拍,滑板等一系列运动类物品彰显着这位成功人士丰富的业余爱好。
Before returning to the open stylekitchen in living room, JohnandMinnaare chatting the thing that someJiang Qicanunderstand.
回到客厅的开放式厨房前,约翰和米娜正在聊一些江祺能听懂的东西。„This year was really was a pity, Ialsothink that the Christmasfalsecango to the ycountrywithyou, finallyyourChristmasfalsedid not have.”Minnais waiting for the roastingturkey in ovento come out, bymumbledin the cookstage.
“今年真是太可惜了,我还以为圣诞假能和你一起去y国过呢,结果你连圣诞假都没有。”米娜正在等烤箱里的烤火鸡出炉,靠在厨艺台边嘟囔道。
The fragrance of turkeyhas filled the entireroom, the atmosphere of Christmasis exceptionally strong.
火鸡的香味早已弥漫全屋,圣诞的氛围异常浓厚。„Bosssaidand other newmedicinedevelopmentendedwill have a long vacationtous, when the time comeswego backagain.”Johnsomewhatunties the tieexhaustedly, justwantsto return to the roomto change the bodycomfortablepointclothes, a telephonehits.
“老板说了等新药开发结束会给我们放一个长假,到时候咱们再回去。”约翰有些疲惫地解开领带,正想回屋换身舒服点的衣服,桑妮一个电话就打来了。„Merry Christmas.”Voiceis also temperate, comparingwantsto be lower and deeperinMinna, „under after meairplane, had not looked at the cell phone, whichjustwent to the supermarketto buysomefoodto be just about the father, whathasto wantmeto confessgives the father?”
“圣诞快乐。”桑妮的声音同样温和,相较于米娜要低沉些,“我下飞机后就一直没看手机,刚刚去超市买了些食物正要去爸爸哪儿,有什么要我代为交代给爸爸的吗?”John who smiledtakes back the smileinstantaneously, lightsaid/tunnel: „Does not use.”
原本满脸笑容的约翰瞬间收回笑容,淡淡地道:“不用了。”„Iknow.” Of telephonethatheadseemsveryhelpless, „your yearsdo not return to homelandtheyactuallyveryto thinkyour, mother added that last weekthinksyouvery much. Shesaid that more than tenyearshave not celebrated the Christmaswithyou, shealsowantsto seeyourattractivegirlfriend.”
“我就知道。”电话那头的桑妮显得很无奈,“你这些年不怎么回国他们其实一直挺想你的,妈妈上个星期还说很想你。她说已经有十几年没和你一起过圣诞节,她也很想见见你那位漂亮的女朋友。”„Thinksme?”InJohn'svoicewas full of the satire, „onlyfeared that issomepleasantries, perhaps was also donein a terrible fixbyhernew student/lifethreedaughters, thought of that will helpherdo the houseworknot to revolt againstherchild.”
“想我?”约翰的声音中充满了讽刺,“只怕是些客套话,又或许是被她新生的三个女儿搞得焦头烂额,想念一个会帮她做家务还不会反抗她的孩子罢了。”„Do not say.” The supplesound said, „weren't hertheseyearsis goodto be many, at least betterthanusin childhood?”
“别这么说。”桑妮柔声道,“她这些年已经好很多了,至少比我们小时候要好不是吗?”„Naturally, will thisworld have compared withherin the past the worsemother? Icannot forgetherto cursemeto liveforeveram about28 years old.”
“当然,这世上还会有比她当年更糟糕的母亲吗?我永远忘不了她诅咒我活不过28岁。”„John......”
“约翰……”„Good, Ishut up.”John, cannot bear the opens the mouth, „, butyoureallyshould notfoster......”
“好吧,我闭嘴。”约翰顿了顿,还是忍不住开口,“但你真不应该抚养……”InterruptedJohn'swords: „She is also ouryounger sisters, sheis only14 years old.”
桑妮打断了约翰的话:“她也是我们的妹妹,她才14岁。”„Sheis only14years old is a drug addict! Excessive drinking, having neither learning nor skill, simplyis......”
“她才14岁就是个瘾君子!酗酒,不学无术,简直就是个……”„Ionce was also this.”Said,„justdoes not haveher is so bad. John, youcannotcount on that eachand you were same as the children who oursameenvironmentgrew upinitially, youcanliveverywellbyyourtalent, butwe were not so intelligentlikeyou, wecandepend uponoftenonly had the luck.”
“我曾经也是这样。”桑妮道,“只不过没有她这么糟糕。约翰,你不能指望每个和我们一样环境长大的孩子都和你当初一样,你能凭借自己的才华活得很好,但我们不像你这么聪明,我们能依靠的往往只有运气。”„Hopes that in childhood like me a person of good intentioncanhelpmyone, Iamherelder sister, whensheis wronghelpsheronetimenot should be?”
“就像我小时候很希望有个好心人能帮我一把一样,我是她的姐姐,在她错误的时候帮她一次不是应该的吗?”Johnhad not been convincedobviously, butheis unable to refute, can only sayonelow voice: „Thisis notyourresponsibility.”
约翰显然没有被说服,但他也无法反驳,只能小声说一句:“这不是你的责任。”„ButIhavethisability.”
“但我有这个能力。”Johnshut upthoroughly, gives uparguing.
约翰彻底闭嘴了,放弃争辩。„Therefore, alwaysdo not have the prejudiceto the father, althoughheis not a qualifiedfather, butbelievesme, helikesyouvery much, hewill not makethismattertoyou.”
“所以,不要总对爸爸抱有偏见,虽然他不是一个合格的爸爸,但相信我,他很喜欢你,他不会对你做出这种事情。”„Hedoes not likeme.”
“他才不喜欢我。”Chuckleseveral: „Youreallylook likemy son, Ihope that heandyouare equally intelligent.”
桑妮轻笑几声:“你真像我儿子,我倒希望他和你一样聪明。”Johnhung up the telephonedecisively, Jiang Qias ifheard outside thousand li (500 km)to take the appearance that the cell phoneis laughing.
约翰果断挂断了电话,江祺仿佛听见了千里之外的桑妮拿着手机大笑的样子。Johnhangs up the telephoneat the same time, roasts the turkeyalsoto come outsmoothly, the Minnaexcitedexertsroastson the tray of turkeyto add all kinds ofgarnishingtoward the splendid attire, sawJohnto make the telephone callto ask: „Telephone? Toldme the secret recipe of apple piequickly, currentlyalsohas the timeto roast a pie.”
约翰挂断电话的同时,烤火鸡也顺利出炉,米娜正兴奋地往盛装烤火鸡的盘子上加各种各样的配菜,见约翰挂了电话问道:“桑妮的电话是吧?快把苹果馅饼的秘方告诉我,现在还有时间烤份馅饼。”John:......
约翰:……„Iforgotto ask.”SomeJohnslightlyawkwardtunnels.
“我忘了问。”约翰略有些尴尬地道。Hejustmixedtwomouthsto forget the proper businesswith.
他刚刚和桑妮拌了两句嘴把正事忘了。Minna:?
米娜:?Minnatwoone, the apronpicks: „Good, althoughIgo to the kitchen to makesumptuousChristmas dinnertodayrarely, butsomepeopledo not wantto eat the dessertsobviously, thattodaydid not have the desserts.”
米娜两手一摊,围裙一摘:“好吧,虽然我今天难得下厨想做一顿丰盛的圣诞大餐,但是很显然有人不想吃甜品,那今天就没有甜品了。”InJiang Qithinks that two peoplewant, when the Christmas Evesame dayquarrelled, this showhad the loveto the youngloversuddenly.
就在江祺以为两人要在平安夜当天吵一架的时候,这对小情侣突然又秀起了恩爱。On the dish the table, Johnpushes the chairforMinna, two peoplesitnear the tableyourNongmyNongstartto enjoy the Christmas dinner.
菜品上桌,约翰替米娜拉开椅子,两人坐在餐桌边你侬我侬地开始享用圣诞大餐。Jiang Qi:?江祺:?
The atmosphere of Christmasis filling the airin the air.
圣诞的气氛在空气中弥漫着。JohnandMinnadrankseveralglasses of red winesfloodred, the Minnanotreallypotency of alcoholcheeksalreadysomeslightly. Under the pale yellowlight, the youngloverwas sayingby the sitting downsoundunclearwords, Minnasmilespours, inJohnbosom, looked atJiang Qisilentlyto transfer.
约翰和米娜喝了几杯红酒,米娜不甚酒力脸颊已经有些微微泛红。昏黄的灯光下,小情侣挨着坐低声说着含糊不清的话,米娜笑得倒在约翰怀中,看得江祺默默把头转了过去。Wait a minute......
等一会儿……Shouldnot have the content that whatcannotbroadcast?
该不会有什么不能播的内容吧?„Watches the movie?”Minnaaskedwith a smile, liesacts like a spoiled bratinJohnarms, „Iwantto look at...... the science fiction......”
“看电影吗?”米娜笑着问道,趴在约翰怀里撒娇,“我想看……科幻……”
The wordshave not said,John'scell phoneonsound.
话还没说完,约翰的手机就响了。Isvideo phone.
是桑妮的视频电话。„Wait a bit.”Johnsitsstraight, Minnaalsoleaveshisarmto sitstraight.
“稍等。”约翰坐直,米娜也离开他的胳膊坐直。„Isvideo phone.”Johnanswered, connected the call.
“是桑妮的视频电话。”约翰解释道,接通了电话。On the phone screenis notface, butis the cleanceramic tile.
手机屏幕上不是桑妮的脸,而是干净的瓷砖。„?”
“桑妮?”
After severalseconds, on the cell phonepresentedface, mixed of herboth sidessendsslightlywet, someinformerdizzy, on the shoulder have not to have the snowflake of melting, the backgroundiswhitewall, the personlooksverydistressed.
几秒钟后,手机上出现了桑妮的脸,她两侧的杂发微湿,眼线有些晕开,肩膀上还有没融化的雪花,背景是一面白墙,人看起来非常狼狈。„Youtofamily/home? Does outsiderain? Younowinstation?”Johnasked.
“你到家了吗?外面是不是下雨了?你现在是在车站吗?”约翰问道。„Iinhospital.”That sidebackgroundsoundis somewhat noisy, „youwaitslightly, Ifind the peacefulpointplace.”
“我在医院。”桑妮那边的背景音有些嘈杂,“你稍微等等,我找个安静点的地方。”„Hospital? Did youhave an accident? Did youfall ill? Your son......”
“医院?你出什么事了?你生病了?还是你儿子……”Minnaheardalsoto collect: „Did fall ill?”
米娜听闻也凑了过去:“桑妮生病了?”Foundnear a relativelyquitepeacefulwindow, out of the window the heavy snow, is conforming to the Christmas Eveideal conditionvery much.
桑妮找到了一个相对比较安静的窗边,窗外正下着大雪,很符合平安夜的意境。„TodayisChristmas Eve, in the hospitalfewdoctors and nurses, everyoneincreased workload.”Said.
“今天是平安夜,医院里没几个医生和护士,大家都忙坏了。”桑妮道。„Isyour son......”Johnhas looked athealthunobstructive.
“是不是你儿子……”约翰已经看出来桑妮健康无碍。Sighs: „Is the father.”
桑妮叹了一口气:“是爸爸。”„He?”John'stonewas slightly desolate, „helivesinthatplace, falling illis normal.”
“他?”约翰的语气稍微冷淡了些,“他住在那种地方,生病是正常的。”„Hegets sickvery muchseriously.”Looks atJohnreluctantly, the toneseemsa littlesad, „this morninghewent to the supermarketto do grocery shoppingfainted, fed inhospital.”
“他病得很重。”桑妮无奈地看着约翰,语气显得有点悲伤,“今天上午他去超市买菜的时候晕倒了,被人送进的医院。”„The person in communitycontacted with mother, but... heryouknow. Ijustarrivedhishometo discoverno one, callsto ask that mother knows......”
“社区的人联系了妈妈,但…她你是知道的。我刚刚到他家发现没有人,打电话问妈妈才知道……”„Whatsickness did hehave?”Johninterruptedwords, „anemia? Enteritis? Gastritis? Bone fracture?”
“他得了什么病?”约翰打断了桑妮的话,“贫血?肠炎?胃炎?骨折?”„Theseare the slight illness.”
“那些都是小病。”Jiang QisawJohn'scomplexiononeto bleach.江祺看见约翰的脸色刷地一下变白了。„Was the cancer of the pancreas, the doctor said that he threemonths ago diagnosed.”
“是胰腺癌,医生说他三个月前就确诊了。”„Younger brother, the fathercould not live for severaldays.”
“弟弟,爸爸活不了几天了。”
In Johnlooksto begin on screen, looks atherexpression, wantsto discover the tracesto show that fromherfacesheis lying.
约翰看着手里屏幕上的桑妮,看着她的表情,想从她的脸上找出蛛丝马迹证明她在说谎。„Cancer of the pancreas.”Johnrepeated, the corners of the mouthtwitchedslightly, wantsto squeeze outsmiling of satireto be however defeated, „, therefore, hehad such serioussicknessnot to tellanybody, even iftreated an illnessto be short of moneydoes not wantto contact withus?”
“胰腺癌。”约翰重复了一遍,嘴角微微抽搐,想挤出一个讽刺的笑但是失败了,“所以,他生了这么严重的病也没有告诉任何人,就算治病缺钱也不想联系我们是吗?”„No.”Shakes the head, „Ihave checkedhistreatmentrecord, hehas not been givenanytreatment.”
“没有。”桑妮摇头,“我查过他的治疗记录,他没有接受任何治疗。”„Was heinsane?”Johnraised the sound, „hehas the health insuranceobviously, Iboughtforhim! So long asheis willingto open the mouth...... henot to go totherapy, whathethese dayswas making? Sitswaits for deathat home?!”
“他疯了吗?”约翰拔高了声音,“他明明有医保,我给他买了!他只要肯开口……他没有接受治疗,那他这些日子在做什么?坐在家里等死吗?!”„Youcalmly.”As ifexpectedJohnto lose controllike this, the warmsound said, „Ido not know why hemustdo that the fatheris sleepingnow, whenheawokeyou to askhimpersonally.”
“你冷静一点。”桑妮仿佛料到了约翰会这样失控,温声道,“我也不知道他为什么要这么做,爸爸现在正在睡觉,等他醒了你可以亲口问他。”„Sleeps?”
“睡觉?”Sighed: „Doctorsaid that hehas not taken the pain-killer, hecomeshospitalsubsequent visitoverseveraltimes, askedhow longeach timeoneself can also live. Herefusesto treat, refusesto take a drug, heverylonghad not sleptcalmly and steadily, hiswas too tired. The nursecalled the pain killer injectionhim, regardless of anything, firstmadehiscalm and steadysleepingsayagain.”
桑妮叹了口气:“医生说他没有吃过止痛药,他来医院复诊过几次,每次都问自己还能活多久。他拒绝治疗,拒绝吃药,他已经很久没有安稳地睡过觉了,他的身体太疲惫了。护士给他打了止痛针,无论什么事,先让他安稳的睡一觉再说吧。”„Ido not know that cancer of the pancreassore, just the nursetoldmesomelaterpatientsto hurtbeing able to sleepall night, the morphineprojects on the maximumdosage is also useless. Theyhurtto cover the strength of bellyspeechnot to have, to gasp for breathcontinuallydo not dareto make an effort. The nurseasked how my fatherarrives at the supermarket, Ievencannot imagine.”
“我不知道胰腺癌有多疼,刚刚护士告诉我有的晚期病人会疼得整夜整夜的睡不着觉,吗啡打到最大剂量也没有用。他们疼到连捂着肚子说话的力气都没有,喘气都不敢用力。护士问我爸爸是怎么走到超市的,我甚至都想象不出来。”„Hefromoppressive.”
“他在自虐。”„Ialwaysfeelhistheseyearscontinuously, becauseanythingpunishes itself, hecancrossobviouslyverywell, butheis bent on havinginthatsmallhouse, hewas even still cleaning the streetyesterday.”
“我总感觉他这些年一直在因为什么惩罚自己,他明明可以过得很好,但他偏要住在那间小房子里,他昨天甚至还在清扫街道。”„Youandhereallylook likevery much, youalwayswithmecomplained that hestrange, alwayssaid that yoursomedislikeshim, raisedhisyouto be able is not happyeach time,forhim what bought the highhealth insurancewasyou, makingmegiveinhishouseinstalled the warm air is also you.”
“你和他真的很像,你总和我抱怨他有多古怪,总说你有多讨厌他,每次提起他你都会不高兴,但给他买高额医保的是你,让我给他的房子里装暖气的也是你。”„Youstillrememberthatpolice school that Iattendedin the past? Ihave not gotten the scholarship, the one centscholarshiphas not attained. Ireallywantto attendthatschoolat that time, Iasked mother, shemademeroll, shesaid that raisedmeenoughto cost a great deal of money the one centnot to helpmeleave. Ihad given up, afterwarddid not lose heartasks the father.”
“你还记得我当年读的那个警察学校吗?我根本就没拿到奖学金,一分钱奖学金都没拿到。我当时真的很想读那个学校,我去求妈妈,她让我滚,她说养我已经够费钱了一分钱都不会帮我出。我本来已经放弃了,后来又不死心地去求爸爸。”„Ido not knowmoney where hecomes, hegavemycompleteschool expenseto makemebe all rightdo not cometo be tired ofhim.”
“我都不知道他哪儿来的钱,他一口气给了我全部的学费让我没事不要来烦他。”„When youruniversityIgiveyourliving expenses am also the fathermakemegiveyou, the child from infancy to maturity the fathermostlikesisyou, howhecanpay the completeschool expense of universitypossiblyto disregardtoyouforme.”
“就连你大学时我给你的生活费也是爸爸让我给你的,从小到大爸爸最喜欢的孩子就是你,他都能为我支付大学的全部学费怎么可能会对你不管不顾。”„He is really a verystrangeperson, hehas not passed, withoutfriend, withoutfamily member, evendoes not makeusinherithissurname. Iandhelivedtogether for nearlytenyears, butIknow nothingabouthim, althoughheindivorcesafter mother has not raisedmyoneday, butIdo not have the meansto dislikehim.”
“他真的是个很奇怪的人,他没有过去,没有朋友,没有亲人,甚至不让我们继承他的姓。我和他一起住了近十年但我对他一无所知,虽然他在和妈妈离婚后没有养过我一天,但我没有办法讨厌他。”„Youalsowithmesamenot?”
“你也和我一样不是吗?”Johnmoves the lip, could not speak.
约翰动了动嘴唇,说不出话来。„Did heawake?”Johnsilentfor a long timeaskedvery much.
“他醒了吗?”约翰沉默了很久才问道。„Alsono, awoke the nurseto tellme.”
“还没有,醒了护士会告诉我的。”„Heawoketoldme.”Johnhung up the video phone.
“等他醒了告诉我。”约翰挂断了视频电话。HeandMinnasitsnear the tableas before, on the table the sumptuousfeasthas putcoolly, before scenesanddozensminutesexactly the same, the aura of holidayis just nothing left.
他和米娜依旧坐在餐桌边,桌上丰盛的大餐已经放凉,场景和几十分钟前一模一样,只不过节日的气息早已荡然无存。Johnis staring at the food on tablelost, does not know that is thinkinganything.
约翰出神地盯着桌上的菜肴,不知道在想什么。Minnadoes not dareto speak, does not know that shouldsayanything, butcalmlysitssideJohnis accompanyinghim.
米娜也不敢说话,也不知道该说些什么,只是静静地坐在约翰身边陪着他。Suddenly, Johnopened the mouth.
突然,约翰开口了。„Ithoughtin childhoodIamhemost specialchild.”
“我小时候觉得我是他最特别的孩子。”„Hewill attendmyparents' meeting, will buyme the sandwich that formelikeseating, will sendmeto the blockmouth, will answermyissue, althoughdoes not prefer.”
“他会参加我的家长会,会给我买我喜欢吃的三明治,会送我到街区口,会回答我的问题虽然不怎么情愿。”„Although before hewill not tellrests the storytome, will not participate in the parent-child activity of school, does not acceptmeto give his firstgift, does not attendmygraduation ceremony, butIalwaysthought that heis specialtome.”
“虽然他不会给我讲睡前故事,不会参加学校的亲子活动,不接受我送给他的第一件礼物,不参加我的毕业典礼,但我总觉得他对我是特别的。”„Idislikehim, dislikesmyfamily, for these yearsIhave felt, ifIandcanbe bornin a normalfamilywill livewellcompared with the present. ButIhave toacknowledge,myintelligentheredityfromhim, myappearanceheredityfrom mother, theseis they give me.”
“我讨厌他,讨厌我的家庭,这么多年来我一直觉得如果我和桑妮能出生在一个正常的家庭会比现在生活得更好。但我又不得不承认,我的聪明遗传自他,我的长相遗传自妈妈,这些都是他们给我的。”„Myrepugnantmother, probablyis not repugnanthe.”
“我讨厌妈妈,却又好像没有那么讨厌他。”„Idislikemeam nothemost specialchild, Ido not even know that actuallynowheislikesusordoes not like.”
“我讨厌我不是他最特别的孩子,我现在甚至不知道他究竟是喜欢我们还是不喜欢。”Johnwantsto find a personto pour out, pours outhemanyyears of confusednessandpuzzled.
约翰只是想找一个人倾诉,倾诉他多年的迷茫和不解。MinnagrippedJohn'shand, comforts the said/tunnel: „Dear, althoughIdid not understandvery much, butIknow, if a fatherdoes not loveoneselfchild, hedoes not rememberhischildlikeseatinganything.”
米娜握住了约翰的手,安抚地道:“亲爱的,我虽然不是很了解,但我知道如果一位父亲不爱自己的孩子,他是不会记得他的孩子喜欢吃什么的。”„My fatherneverdoes not remember that Ilikeeatinganything, even ifIandhehave saidmany. Hehas not sentmeto the school, hemakes the drivermakethis. Hedid not chatwithme, hewas very busy, youlooked,hedid not even celebrate the Christmaswithme.”
“我爸爸从来不都不记得我喜欢吃什么,即使我和他说过很多遍。他也从来没有送我去过学校,他都让司机做这个。他不和我聊天,他很忙,你看,他甚至不和我过圣诞。”Minnaset outto giveJohnbut actuallyonecup of water: „Heawokechatswithhimwell, youcantakeseveraldays of falseto go backto seehim, the bosswill agree that ifyoudid not mind that Icanask for leaveto accompanyyouto go back.”
米娜起身给约翰倒了一杯水:“等他醒了好好和他聊聊吧,你可以请几天假回去看望他,老板会同意的,如果你不介意我可以请假陪你回去。”UnderMinna'scomfort, Johnwas obviously happy. Minnasmilesto startto helphimtoJohnreceiveto pick the dinner plate, Johnalsosets outto tidy uptogether, whenJohncarriesonlymovedseveralroastingturkeys, video phoneagainthisdozen.
在米娜的安慰下,约翰的情绪明显好了很多。米娜冲约翰笑笑开始帮他收捡餐盘,约翰也起身一起收拾,就在约翰端起只动了几口的烤火鸡的时候,桑妮的视频电话再此打来。Johnrushesto put downto install the tray of turkey, connects the call.
约翰赶忙放下装火鸡的盘子,接通电话。In the hospital ward, the cell phonehas not illuminatedarrives atherface, John can only see the front doorandnurse who hurriedly the hospital wardopens.
桑妮在病房里,手机没照到她的脸,约翰只能看见病房敞开的大门和急匆匆的护士。„Did fatherawake?”Johnasked.
“爸爸醒了吗?”约翰问道。„No.”Sobbed, „hewas too tired.”
“没有。”桑妮哽咽道,“他太累了。”„What?”Johnshould notcome.
“什么?”约翰没有应该过来。„Hepassed away.”
“他去世了。”JohnandMinnawere shocked.
约翰和米娜一齐愣住了。Minna Stationsomenothandlesin the kitchen, shewantsto walkto hugJohn, after the foottakesonestep, actuallyno longermoves. AlthoughJiang Qi has long known the story the result, butseesJohnthis timeexpression, feels the inexplicablesadness.
米娜站在厨房里有些无措,她想走去过抱抱约翰,脚迈出一步后却又不再动。江祺虽然早就知道故事的结局,但看见约翰此时的表情,也觉得莫名的悲伤。„I want to take a look athim.”Johnsaidin a low voice.
“我想看看他。”约翰低声道。
The picture on cell phoneis trembling, raises the hand of cell phoneto shake, inpicture, the old person on hospital bedlikefalling asleep, a nurseis summoninghishernursein the bedside, the waitingpushes a cartto move awayJohann'sbody.
手机上的画面是颤颤巍巍的,桑妮举手机的手一直在晃,画面中,病床上的老人就像睡着了一样,一个护士在床边呼唤着其她护士,等待推车过来把老约翰的尸体运走。Johannbecomes emaciatedfiercely.
老约翰消瘦得厉害。
The grayhairis scarce, complexionwax yellow, the whole bodyfullis the old agespot. Becausepainsuffers the fat of massiveoutflow unable to haunch the skin, faceepidermisis building, should very fierceappearance, nowseemsomewhatgentle.
花白的头发非常稀少,脸色蜡黄,全身满是老年斑。因为病痛的折磨大量流失的脂肪撑不起皮肤,脸上皮松松地搭着,原本应该会非常凶恶的长相,现在显得有些慈祥。„Heis quite thin.”Johnsaid.
“他好瘦。”约翰道。„Yes.”Is sobbing, „hethinmany, manyclothesput onto throw overlike the bigelephant hidefor these years.”
“是啊。”桑妮抽泣着,“他这几年瘦了好多,好多衣服穿起来就像大象皮披在身上一样。”„Imanyyearshave not seenhim, previoustimeseeshistimehison the facedid not havesuchspottiness.”
“我已经好多年没见过他了,上次见他的时候他脸上还没有这么多斑。”„Hairnotwhite.”
“头发也没白。”„Iput onto affirmfor the suit that heboughtnowin a big way.”
“我给他买的西装现在穿肯定大了很多。”„He, ifcanput onat that timeis good.”
“他要是当时能穿上就好了。”„Iaccumulatedfor a long timemoneyat that time, hewill definitely like.”
“我当时攒了好久的钱,他肯定会喜欢的。”Was saying to be saying, Johnlooks that the cell phonehas had tears streaming down the face.
说着说着,约翰看着手机已经泪流满面。
