The Fifth Tuesday
第五个星期二
We Talk About Family
我们聊了聊家庭
Me?
我吗?
“Your family. I know about your parents. I met them, years ago, at graduation. You have a sister, too, right?"
“你的家庭。我知道你父母。很多年前在毕业典礼上我见过他们。你还有个姐妹,对吧?”
Yes, I said.
是的,我回答。
"Older, yes?"
“姐姐吗?”
Older.
是姐姐。
"And one brother, right?"
“还有一个兄弟,对吧?”
I nodded.
我只是点点头。
"Younger?"
“是弟弟?”
Younger.
是弟弟。
"Like me," Morrie said.
“你像我一样,”莫瑞说道。
"I have a younger brother."
“我也有个弟弟。”
Like you, I said.
确实挺像你,我回答。
"He also came to your graduation, didn't he?"
“他也参加了你的毕业典礼,不是吗?”
I blinked, and in my mind I saw us all there, sixteen years earlier, the hot sun, the blue robes, squintng as we put our arms around each other and posed for Instamatic photos, someone saying, "One, two, three...”
我眨了眨眼,在我的脑海里又浮现出了那时我们所有人都在的场景,十六年前,那炎热的太阳,蓝色的学士袍,我们一边眯着眼用胳膊环绕着彼此来为拍立得照片摆好姿势,而拍照的人一边喊着,“一,二,三...”
"What is it?" Morrie said, noticing my sudden quiet.
“你在想什么?”莫瑞问我,注意到了我突然的安静。
"What's on your mind?"
“你脑子里在想什么呀?”
Nothing, I said, changing the subject.
没啥,我答道,转换了话题。
