? Suzuki NakiseesKitahara Shuji, FuyumiandYoko, with a smileonclass/flowtears- is not moved, shehad the seasonal allergic rhinitis.
?铃木乃希一见北原秀次、冬美和阳子,笑着就哗哗流眼泪-不是感动的,她得了花粉症。
The springarrived, the temperaturerises again, the flowersare gradually in full bloom, graduallypasseslike the oriental cherryfrontlinegenerallyfrom south to north, immediatelyalsoenteredseasonal allergic rhinitishigh incidence- Japanis the seasonal allergic rhinitiscountry, the nationalabout130 millionpopulation, have about twoto30 millionseasonal allergic rhinitispatients.
春天到了,气温回升,花朵逐渐盛开,如同樱花前线一般逐渐由南向北推移,随即也进入了花粉症高发期-日本是花粉症高发国家,全国近一亿三千万人口,大约有两到三千万花粉症患者。
The mainprime culpritwas the Pine, the Japanesepost-war reconstructionneedsa lot oflumbers, thereforecut trees downcrazily, waited for the mud-rock flowto start the frequencyto sendto understand,startedto plant treeshastily, but the Pinewas an economicaltree seed of verysuitablemountainous regionplanter, therefore the governmentdistributed the subsidygreatly, the requestwidelyplanted, environmental protectionmoney-makingwithout hampering the other, causesJapannowall overisthistree.
主要元凶是杉树,日本战后重建需要大量木材,于是疯狂砍树,等泥石流开始频发了才明白过来,连忙又开始种树,而杉树是一种很适合山地种植的经济树种,于是政府大发补贴,要求广泛种植,环保赚钱两不误,导致日本现在满山遍野都是这种树。Butis unexpected, after the Pinepiles in heaps , the flowering seasonarrived, formsswept acrossnorth and southJapanesepollenfog, finallymade20 millionseasonal allergic rhinitispatientsforcefully, but the flowering season of flowering seasonandoriental cherry of Pinewas close, the in additionthis year'smild winter, warms the spring, the Pineblossomedcompared with the old timesearly, slightlyoverlappedwith the oriental cherryflowering season, Suzuki Nakihas not guarded, todaydecisivemove.
但始料未及,杉树成堆后花期一到,形成了席卷日本南北的花粉雾,结果硬生生制造出了两千万的花粉症患者,而杉树的花期和樱花的花期相近,外加今年暖冬、暖春,杉树比往年开花又早了一些,和樱花花期略有重叠,铃木乃希一个没防备好,今天果断中招了。Shenowlookswithout the deportment of rich and powerful familyexpensive/noblefemale, wearsplain-coloredbath robe of silkmanufacture- shecannotput on the belt/bringwool the clothing, the seasonal allergic rhinitisisallergic reaction, the jerseycanintensify the condition, moreoveris easyto stain the pollen in airto formallergies the twotimes, cankill- kneltto sit there is dejected, forces a smilea while unable to smile, both eyeswere inflamed, are sheddingtears, is also flowing the clear waternasal mucuswhile convenient, seeminglyin a complete mess.
她现在看起来毫无豪门贵女之仪态,穿着丝绸制作的素色浴衣-她不能穿带毛的衣物了,花粉症是种过敏反应,细毛绒会加剧病情,而且容易沾上空气中的花粉形成二次过敏,会出人命的-跪坐在那里垂头丧气,强笑了一会儿就笑不出来了,双目红肿,流着眼泪,顺便也流着清水鼻涕,看起来一塌糊涂。Kitahara Shujilooksfullyis the sympathy, Suzuki Nakiusuallyisall smiles, smilesthreepoints of fragileness, threepoints of arbitrariness, threepoints of cunningness, gives extra for onepointto keep aloof, butnowseemed like just beaten savagely a stray cur, the taildangled, self-satisfieddid not get up, was very miserable.北原秀次看着满是同情,铃木乃希平时都是满面笑容,笑起来三分娇气,三分蛮横,三分狡黠,外带一分高高在上,而现在像是刚被暴打了一顿的丧家之犬,尾巴都搭拉了,根本得意不起来了,很是楚楚可怜。Hisgentle voiceasked: „Fierce of allergy?”
他柔声问道:“过敏的厉不厉害?”Hewas askinghas any complication, the Suzuki Nakicurrentappearanceis very bad.
他是在问有没有什么并发症,铃木乃希当前的样子已经很糟糕了。Suzuki Nakidejectedlysaid: „It is not fierce, butis very uncomfortable.”铃木乃希沮丧道:“不厉害,但很难受。”Shewishes one couldto dignow the eye, is really much itchier . Moreover the nasal mucuswatercannot stop- shedoes not wantto letKitahara Shuji and Fukuzawa Familypersonsees this typedistressedlycondition, butthisgroup of peoplelookedfollowing the said/tunnel, she must be able to close, can only let and roomentertains, regrettedvery muchhas not returned tograndmother'svillato go, buttheretreeswere numerous, the pollenwas fiercer, goingmost likely (80%) is not more wonderful.
她现在恨不能将眼睛挖出来,实在痒得厉害,而且鼻涕水止不住-她本不想让北原秀次和福泽家的人看到她这种狼狈之态的,但这帮人顺着地道找过来了,她也不能关门不开,只能让到了和室招待,很后悔没逃回外婆的别墅去住,不过那里树木众多,花粉更猛,去了八成更不妙。Fuyumidid not copewithher, butsaw that this miserabletypealsohasto pity, pulled out a paper goodsto wipe the nasal mucustoher, buton the mouthsaidill-humoredly: „Knows that has the seasonal allergic rhinitisalso to run all over the place, youget what one deserves!”冬美一直和她不太对付,但看到她这惨样也不由心生怜悯,给她抽了一张纸巾擦鼻涕,但嘴上没好气说道:“知道有花粉症还要乱跑,你活该!”Suzuki Nakigivesherlikepinching the chickenbastardmanipulates, completelylost the interest of resistance, is only depressed: „ Ithink that next weekwill start,铃木乃希给她像掐小鸡崽子一样摆弄,完全失去了反抗的兴致,只是郁闷道:“我以为下周才会开始,
The color of Yokoalsoeye of revealsympathy, askedlow voice: „ThatSuzuki can't Onee-chango outrecently?”阳子也目露同情之色,小声问道:“那最近铃木姐姐不能出门了吗?”
To comeincessantlyisSuzuki Naki, during seasonal allergic rhinitispeak, the entertainment world of Japan will also be very quiet, has the artist of seasonal allergic rhinitistoprotect the imageandthroat, will closeoneselfmostlyat homeorgoes abroadto seek asylum.
想来不止是铃木乃希,花粉症高发期间,日本的娱乐圈也会很消停,很多有花粉症的艺人为了保护形象和嗓子,多半都会把自己关在家里或是出国避难。In the pastSuzuki Nakinaturallymusthide the pollen, after allherphysical condition was not quite good, othersflowed the tearsclass/flownasal mucusto sneeze are almost the limits, juststartedtoherhere, behindalsohad the asthmaandbronchitis, to continue the low fever and skin sensibilityinflamed, the rashto wait forher.
往年铃木乃希当然要躲花粉,毕竟她身体状况本就不太好,别人流眼泪流鼻涕打喷嚏差不多就是极限了,到了她这里才是刚开始,后面还有哮喘、支气管炎、持续低烧、皮肤过敏红肿、起疹子等着她.Likelast year, shethinks that ongoes to schoolto play, but the firstsemesterdoes not dareto come out, hid inpollenin additionto fall ill, tossed about the secondsemesterto begin schoolmakes an appearancein the school, butshecannothidethis year, many thingsmustdo, for exampleledto attend the localcompetition, for exampleabducted the vigorous and healthysatisfyinghusbandor the sweetheart, will do the preparationforun-next lifesuccessor, cannotletendtoherherewith the springSuzuki'sdirect linebloodlines......
就像去年一样,她想上上学玩玩,但第一学期没敢出来,躲花粉加生病去了,折腾到了第二学期开学才在学校里露面,但今年她不能躲了,还有很多事要做,比如带队参加地区大赛,比如诱拐健壮可心的老公或情人,为未来生继承人做准备,不能让和泉铃木的直系血脉到她这里就完了完……
The seasonal allergic rhinitisis very painful, sheis intelligent, butfeared that fearssorelypainstakingly, the clerkalwayswantsto be opportunistic, wantsto hideat heart, butcannothide, toYoko, helplesssaid: „Goes out to go out, butcannotgo outfrequently.”
花粉症很痛苦,她聪明但怕疼怕苦,干事总想取巧,心里是很想躲的,只是不能躲,对阳子无奈道:“出去还是要出去的,只是不能经常出去了。”Shemustbe expected to fallin the air/Qi the pollendensitysituation, the densityis too highis imprisoned, the densityaccepts a lower statusto let in fresh air.
她得看空气中花粉浓度情况,浓度太高就坐牢,浓度低就出去放风。Kitahara Shujiturned the headto size upone and room, herehas repaired, according totemper that Suzuki Nakiloved leisure and hated work, naturallywill not put in great inconvenience to itselfin the life, veryluxuriouscomfortable, butstillgave the personto feelverylonely,withouthow muchlife breaths, thinksagainherusualwords and deeds, in the heartwassympathy- sheusuallyate mealis not willingto pay money, wroteonepile of bad checkstoFuyumi, Fuyumidid not understandvery much,was all rightscoldsher, compellingherto render back the money, butherdead pig is not afraid of boiling water, is not willingtomoney, everyoneto feelherto be mean-spirited, butKitahara Shujicanunderstandindistinctly,Suzuki Nakiwasfears unable Fukuzawa Family..北原秀次转头打量了一下和室,这里重新装修过,依铃木乃希好逸恶劳的性子,当然在生活上不会委屈了自己,很是豪华舒适,但仍然给人十分冷清的感觉,没多少生活气息,再想想她平时的言行,心中更是同情-她平时吃饭不肯付钱,给冬美打了一堆白条,冬美很不理解,没事就骂她,逼她还钱,但她死猪不怕开水烫,怎么也不肯给钱,大家都觉得她小气,但北原秀次隐约能明白,铃木乃希是怕不能去福泽家了。Shedoes not givemoney, Fuyumicatches up withherto get the hell outmustowe a big pen, according to the Fuyumicheapskatetemperwill not be definitely dry, thereforeshecancontinueto mixto eatinFukuzawa Familyto mixto rest, owesmorehermore relieved- sheshouldfearvery muchlonelily, does not have the security senseextremely.
她不给钱,冬美赶她滚蛋就要亏一大笔,依冬美的小气鬼性子肯定就不会那么干了,所以她就可以继续在福泽家混吃混睡,欠得越多她越安心-她应该是很怕孤单的,极没有安全感。InKitahara Shujithislittle whilealsoheartpities, thisSuzukiseductress/evil spiritpersonalityagainbastard, now is also verypitiful. Hesaiddirectly: „SchoolmateSuzuki, do not hidehere, was the past, that sidepersonwas lively.”北原秀次这会儿也心中怜悯起来,这铃木妖精性格再混蛋,现在也是很可怜。他直接说道:“铃木同学,你也不要躲在这里了,还是过去好了,那边人多热闹一点。”Suzuki Nakisilenta while, the moodwas a little contradictory, passes the little whileto shake the headslowly, „, Iwant here.”Thenalsosaidwith a smile: „Herehas the servant, somepeoplelook aftermy, youdo not needto be worried.”铃木乃希沉默了一会儿,心情有点矛盾,过了会儿缓缓摇头,“不了,我想在这边。”接着又笑着说道:“我这里有佣人,有人照顾我的,你不用担心。”Herpresentappearancefeeldisgraced, did not thinkto go toFukuzawa Familyat this time, butKitahara Shujicared abouther, makingherfeel that on a littlesmallcomfortable, smallfaceshowed the smile, butsmiled the nasal mucusto flow in the mouth, salty, has toattractfiercely, thissmilegaveto attractdoes not have.
她现在的样子自己都觉得丢人,不想这时候去福泽家了,不过北原秀次关心她,让她觉得心里有点小舒服,小脸上露出了笑容,但一笑鼻涕流进了嘴里,咸咸的,不得不一阵猛吸,这点笑容又给吸没了。Kitahara Shujisighed, has not forcedheragain, pulled outonebagto return toYangWanto giveherfrom the pocket, supplesound said: „Thisisgivesyouto prepare, before isthanksyou, lends a handto assistrepeatedly.”北原秀次叹了口气,也没再勉强她,从兜里掏出了一袋回阳丸递给她,柔声道:“这是给你准备的,算是感谢你以前多次出手相助。”Suzuki Nakisomewhatstrangereceiving, openslooks that the pitch-blackshiningpillaskedpuzzled: „Medicine?”铃木乃希有些奇怪的接了过来,打开看着乌黑发亮的药丸困惑问道:“药吗?”Sheis emptyfrom the smallbody, tothismedicineisveryfamiliar, immediately before attaining the nosesmells, recallsto determine that thistypehas not seen, ispuzzled- before hecomes, does not knowoneselfhad the seasonal allergic rhinitis, whatthisgoverns? Preparesforoneselfspecially, thinkstodaytooneself, butoneselfhave not passedtoday, thendeliveredwhile convenient?
她从小身虚体弱,对这药物还是挺熟悉的,马上拿到鼻前闻了闻,回忆了一下确定这种没见过,不由更是困惑-他来之前也不知道自己得了花粉症,这是治什么的?特意为自己准备的,想今天给自己,但自己今天没过去,便顺便送过来了?„Perhapstostrong and healthy bodya little advantage, you eat has a looksome time.”Kitahara Shujicannotaffirmto the effect,has not spoken the wordscompletely, butFuyumiheldquietlyhis, hintsimproperby the vision- the medicine that youmatchtomeeatseven if, even ifdrawsbellyanythingwill not be strangeyou, butwitheatstothissickly person, ifeats a good and evilwe probably unable to repay.
“也许对强身健体有点好处,你吃一段时间看看。”北原秀次对效果也不敢肯定,没把话说满了,但冬美悄悄捅了他一下,以目光示意不妥-你配的药给我吃吃也就算了,就算拉个肚子什么的也不会太怪你,但拿给这病秧子吃,万一吃出个好歹咱们可赔不起。Kitahara Shujiturns the headto smiletoher, butalso feels able do withoutguarding, immediatelyalsosaid with a smiletoSuzuki Naki: „Nowcaneatonegrain.”北原秀次转头对她一笑,但也觉得不可不防,马上又对铃木乃希笑道:“现在就可以吃一粒。”If by some chancethere is a matterhe is also easybecause ofhereto processimmediately, butSuzuki Nakilooked athisoneeyes, hesitant, puts on a long facesaiduncomfortably: „ButIanythingcannot swallownow, mythroathurts.”
万一有事他在这儿也好马上处理,而铃木乃希看了他一眼,犹豫了一下,哭丧着脸难受道:“但我现在什么也咽不下去,我嗓子疼。”„This......”strong and healthy bodynoteagerlyfor a while, Kitahara Shujihad not opposed,hethoughtin any casethismedicinehas the accidental/surprisedpossibilityto be minimal, thenurgedearnestly: „After thatand otherbodycomfortablepoint, a grain, is at least separated byeach time for onehour, at leastonehour, otherwiseis perhaps harmful, on timefinished eating, hasanythingillto callmeimmediately, Ihave more than enough for threeminutes.”
“这样啊……”强身健体也不急于一时,北原秀次也没反对,反正他觉得这药出意外的可能性微乎其微,便认真叮嘱道:“那等你身体舒服点后,一次一粒,每次至少相隔一个小时的时间,记着,至少一个小时,不然也许有害,按时吃完,有什么不适马上给我打电话,我过来用不了三分钟。”„Finished eating?”Suzuki Nakihefted the bag in hand, thenlooked at the Kitahara Shujiexpression, discovered that heis very earnest, obviouslyattaches great importance tothismattervery much, slightlySurpriseKitahara Shujiusually the characterisverytemperate, mostmattersdrift with the current, does not care, ishello/you goodmygoodeveryone's goodtype, butonebutshowed the earnestexpression, thisexplained that thismatterhehas made up mind, no matterothersdo coordinate, opposed,hemust certainlyact willfully.
“吃完吗?”铃木乃希掂了掂手里的袋子,然后看了看北原秀次的表情,发现他很认真,对这件事明显很重视,不由微微诧异-北原秀次平时性格还是挺温和的,大部分事都随波逐流,根本不放在心上,属于你好我好大家好的类型,但一但露出了认真的表情,这就说明这事儿他已经拿定了主意,不管别人配不配合,反不反对,他肯定要一意孤行到底。Immediatelyherdoubtgets up, suspectedvery much, even if not eatnow, in the futurewill still giveKitahara Shujito press the hardstopperunavoidably, looks that the bagdoubtsto ask: „Is thismedicine...... very expensive? Has the bigadvantagetome?”
顿时她就狐疑起来,很怀疑就算现在不吃,将来也免不了给北原秀次按着硬塞,看着袋子疑问道:“这药……很贵重?对我有大好处?”Thisdoes not seem likegivesat will......
这不像是随意给的啊……
The Kitahara Shujiexpressionisveryearnest: „Cannot callprecious, perhapsbuthas the bigadvantagetoyou, butIcannot reach an agreementnow. Youfirstfinished eatingthese20grainsto have a look atsituation- pleasefinish certainly eatingon time!”北原秀次表情还是很认真:“称不上贵重,但也许对你有大好处,不过现在我也说不好。你先吃完这二十粒看看情况-请一定按时吃完!”Suzuki Nakifeelsis very keen, immediatelysmelledunusualaura- is important, according to the Kitahara Shujicharactermost likely (80%)islikeseating, Igavein any case, buthestressedover and over,thismatterhas the issueinevitably!铃木乃希感觉很敏锐,马上嗅到了不同寻常的气息-要不是事关重大,依北原秀次的性格八成就是爱吃不吃,反正我给了,而他再三强调,这事必然有问题!Shequiteattaches great importance to the Kitahara Shujiearnestmatter, after allKitahara Shujiat the back of the powerhouse who shebreaks through a tight encirclement, ishersimilar, with the ordinaryweakdregsistwo matters- wantsothersto giveher the medicine, shewill put on an actto be perfunctorynot, will laugh atone to throw into the trash can.
她对北原秀次都认真的事还是相当重视的,毕竟北原秀次是背着她杀出重围的强者,是她的同类,和普通弱渣是两码事-要别人给她药,她连装样子敷衍一下都不会,嗤笑一声就能扔进垃圾桶。Shementioned the attaching great importance torank of thisbag of medicinesimmediatelyhighest, grips the openingcarefully, withdoes not putin the hand, saidwith a smile: „Ieat certainlyon time, tillfinishing eating, youfelt relieved, Mr.Kitahara!”
她马上把这袋药的重视等级提到了最高,细心扎好口子,拿在手里不放了,笑吟吟道:“我一定按时吃,直到吃完为止,你放心好了,北原老爷!”
The Kitahara Shujigratifiednod, feltowing the Suzuki Nakifavoralsomost, moreovertrulytoheralsoFelt relievedFuyumi thatungovernable temper, most likely (80%)was impatientallforced in the mouth, must therefore controlbyhim, butSuzuki Nakishouldnot have the issue.北原秀次欣慰点头,感觉把欠铃木乃希的人情还了大半了,而且确实对她也放心-冬美脾气急躁,给多了八成不耐烦了就全塞进了嘴里,所以得由他来控制着,但铃木乃希应该没问题。Healsourgedseveralto restcarefullywell, do not go outas far as possible, like the old manwordy the taboos in somepersonal habits, thenbringsFuyumiandYokowalked, the preparationwent backto do business.
他又细心叮嘱了几句好好休息,尽量别外出,又像个老头一样啰嗦了一些饮食起居方面的忌讳,然后才带着冬美和阳子走了,准备回去营业。Suzuki Nakidelivered to the typicalmouththem, thenreturned tooneselfbedroom, takes in the bag, pulled out a grain of medicineto look ata while, thought that besidesappearancegood, has not really seenanythingto be special, hesitantonepressedringing the bell, immediatelycame in a femalesteward- thiswashergrandmotherleavesherreliablemanpower, sheplacedinthistemporaryresidencemost probably.铃木乃希把他们送到了地道口,然后回了自己卧室,把袋子拿到了手里,掏出了一粒药看了一会儿,觉得除了卖相好外,真没看出什么特别的,犹豫了一下按了按铃,马上进来了一位女管家-这是她外婆留给她的可靠人手,她大半都安置在了这临时居所之中。Shehands over the medicine: „Sends tothismedicine......”
她将药一递:“把这药送去化……”Shesaidhalfare quiet, received the medicine, butthatfemalestewardraising the headstrangesay/way: „Young lady?”
她说了一半住了嘴,将药又收回来了,而那位女管家抬头奇怪道:“大小姐?”„Was all right, goes out!”Suzuki Nakiwieldeddrew back the femalesteward, thought that like thisimproper- the boyattitudewas very earnest. Ten thousandincidentsecrets, are knownby the bystanderis not good.
“没事了,出去吧!”铃木乃希挥退了女管家,觉得这样不妥-那小子态度很认真。万一事涉隐秘,被外人知道了不好。Shegave upanalyzing the medicine the idea, butwithlooked in the hand the medicine,was overly suspicious and fearfulat heart- how did thisongive itselfbewilderedlythistonic?
她放弃化验药物的想法了,只是把药拿在手里看,心里疑神疑鬼-这怎么就莫名其妙给了自己这补药?Was really caring do oneselfhave something else planned?
是真在关心自己还是另有所图?
Hadn't oneselfdonerecently, hecared that suddenlydid come?
自己最近也没干什么啊,他怎么突然关心起自己来了?
If not care about itself......
如果不是关心自己的话……Plots to murder itselfdefinitelynot, oneselfeatto restinFukuzawa Familydaily, according to the mind and murder of thatblindboysuch asbutchersmaking an all-out effort of chicken, will not usethisunderhandedmethod, even ifmidnightcovers itselfto deserted corpsealso the ratioto visitto intoxicateagainstrongly.
谋害自己肯定是不会的,自己日常在福泽家吃睡,依那瞎眼小子的头脑和杀人如宰鸡的狠劲,不会用这种下作手段,哪怕半夜捂死自己再弃尸也比登门下毒强。Shecloses one's eyes, alladjusted the memorypicture at lastaboutKitahara Shujicame outto analyzea while his facial expression, wherewithoutdiscoveringhad the difference, butsneezedquickly, the nasal mucusmadeone, immediatelygot angrybeatsgot out of bed, butself-ridiculedimmediatelysmiled- oneselfthisunluckybody was really enough!
她闭上眼,把最近这段时间关于北原秀次的记忆画面全调了出来分析了一会儿他的面部表情,没发现哪里有异样,而很快打起了喷嚏,鼻涕弄了一身,顿时怒捶了一下床,但马上又自嘲一笑-自己这倒霉身体真是受够了!Shehidin the bedroomstares at the medicineto look at the long time, suddenlyfeltoneselfwere very pitiful, can the people of percentagehundredtrustsnot haveincludingone, swallowed the medicinedirectlyswallowed, thenwaited for the moment......? Howwhatfeelsalso?
她一个人躲在卧室盯着药看了半晌,突然觉得自己很是可悲,连一个能百分百信任的人都没有,直接将药一吞就咽了,然后等了片刻……嗯?怎么什么感觉也没有?Let alonefelt, thismedicinedoes not have the flavor......
别说感觉了,这药连味道也没有……Shewaited fora while, had not felt,thinksto thinkaccording to the Kitahara Shujimanner, shouldnot make fun of the personwith no reason at all, was angrywill retaliatedirectly, will not playthisweakmethod . Moreover the attitudewas quite earnest- shedecidedto listen to the Kitahara Shujiwords, on timefinished eating the medicine.
她又等了一会儿,还是没感觉,想了想觉得依北原秀次的为人,应该不会无缘无故捉弄人,生气了直接会报复,不会玩这种幼稚手段,而且刚才的态度极为认真-她决定听北原秀次的话,按时把药吃完。Sheeatstwograinsbecausein the evening the seasonal allergic rhinitistoosleptuncomfortably, butnext dayresteda whileawakinga while, is eatingoff and on, got out of bedto eat the tenthgrain...... sheto believethisuntilthirddayat noonnowis the tonic, tonic that was not of usecompletely.
她当晚吃了两粒就因为花粉症太难受睡觉了,而隔天睡一会儿醒一会儿,断断续续吃着,直到第三天中午起床才吃到了第十粒……现在她信这是补药了,完全不顶用的补药。Shespoke thoughtlesslytenthgrain of swallowing down, thenpreparedto examineKitahara Shujimorningthrowing a ballto practiceto record, butwalkedthreesteps, the suddenvigorousheat flowraisedfromherabdomen......
她随口将第十粒吞了下去,然后准备去查看北原秀次早上的投球练习录像,但走了三步,突然一股勃勃热流从她腹中升起……
