女孩問男孩:“你喜歡我喜歡到什么程度?”
Girl asked the boy: "do you like me to like to what extent?"
少年想了想,用沉靜的聲音說:“半夜汽笛那個程度。”
The young thought, with a quiet voice said: "the midnight whistle."
少女默默地等待下文---里面肯定有什么故事。
The young girl silently waiting for the below --- there must be some stories.
“一次,半夜突然醒來。”他開始講述,“確切時間不清楚,大約兩三點吧,也就那個時間。什么時候并不重要,總之是夜深時分,我完完全全孤單一人,身邊誰也沒有。
"Once, suddenly wake up in the middle of the night." He began to talk, "the exact time is not clear, about two or three points, it is the time. What time is not important, it is late at night, I am completely alone, no one around.
請你想象一下:四下漆黑一片,什么也看不見,什么也聽不見,就連時鐘聲都聽不見,也可能鐘停了。我忽然覺得自己正被隔離開來,遠離自己認識的人,遠離自己熟悉的場所,遠得無法置信。
Please imagine: four under the black one, what also can't see, what also can't hear, even when the bell can't hear, also may stop. I suddenly feel that they are being isolated, away from their understanding of people, away from their familiar place, far from being unable to believe.
在這廣大世界上不為任何人愛,不為任何人理解,不為任何人記起---我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己成了這樣的存在。即使我就這么消失不見,也沒有人察覺。那種心情,簡直就像被塞進厚鐵箱沉入深海底。由于氣壓的關系,心臟開始痛,痛得像要咔哧咔哧裂成兩半。這滋味你可知道?”
In this world, not for anyone to love, not for anyone to understand, not for anyone to remember --- I found myself to be such a presence. Even if I disappear, no one is aware of. That kind of mood, it is like to be tucked into a thick iron box to the deep seabed. Because of pressure, heart pain, pain like to click kraaa rip split in two. You know it?"
少女點點頭。想必她是知道的。
Girl nodded. Surely she knows.
少年繼續(xù)說道:“這大概是人活著的過程中所能體驗到的最難以忍受的一種感覺。又傷心又難受,恨不得直接死掉算了。不不,不是這樣,不是死掉算了,而是假如放在那里不管,就真的死掉了,因為鐵箱里的空氣越來越稀薄了。這可不是什么比喻,是真的。
"This is probably the most intolerable feeling in the process of being alive," said the boy. Sad and hard, I hate to die directly. Not so, not so, not dead, but if you put in there anyway, it is really dead, because the air in the iron box is getting thinner and thinner. This is no metaphor, it's true.
這也就是深夜里孤單單醒來的含義。這你也明白?”
That is the meaning of the night in the night to wake up alone. You understand that?"
少女再次默默點頭。少年停了一會兒。
The girl again silently nod. The boy paused for a moment.
“不過當時聽見很遠很遠的地方有汽笛聲,非常非常遙遠。到底什么地方有鐵路呢?莫名其妙。總之就那么遠。聲音若有若無,但我知道那是火車的汽笛聲,肯定是。
"But the siren was heard far away, very far away. In the end what is the railway?. In short, so far. Not much, if any sound, but I know it is the train whistle, certainly.
黑暗中我豎耳細聽,于是又一次聽到了汽笛聲。很快,我的心臟不再痛了,時針開始走動,鐵箱朝海面慢慢浮升。而這都是因為那微弱的汽笛聲的關系。
In the dark I strained his ears, and once again hear the siren. Soon, my heart is no longer painful, and the beginning of the hand, the iron box slowly float to the surface of the sea. This is because of the faint whistle.
汽笛聲的確微弱,聽見沒聽見都分不清,而我就像愛那汽笛一樣愛你。”
Steam whistle really weak, heard hear are not clear, and I just love the siren love you."
少年的短小故事至此結(jié)束。這回少女開始講她自己的故事。
The short story of the young so far. This time the girl began to tell her story.
