As the train picked up its speed, the passengers slowly settled down on their seats. 火车开始缓缓加速，乘客们挨个儿在座位上坐定。 I reserved the lower berth , so that I could enjoy the beauty of out side from the moving train. 我预购了下铺的车票，如此一来，火车向前行驶的时候，我就可以欣赏窗外的风景了。 I don't know why I always preferred to get the window seat. 我也不知道自己为什么总是偏爱靠窗的位子。 An elderly lady occupied the front seat of mine. 一位老太太在我前面的位置坐下。 I looked at her. 我看了看她。 She must be in her eighties, I guessed. 这大概是一位耄耋之年的老人，我猜测。 At one point, we met our eyes. 偶然的，我们四目相接。 She smiled at me. With courtesy , I gave her response. 她对我报以微笑，我也彬彬有礼的表示回礼。 Both of us were silent. 我们俩都没说话。 By that time, the train was in its full speed. 这时，火车正全速前进。 It was 4:50 pm, evening time. 那时的时间是下午4点50分。 So, bed time was still in a long way. 离睡觉的时间还早着呢。 I couldn't resist myself any longer and asked, 'Auntie! Where are you going?' 我实在忍不住寂寞，就问道，“阿姨，您这是到哪儿去呀？” She looked at me and friendly said, 'Army camp, dear.' 她看看我，友好的说:"我到军营里去，亲爱的。” Suddenly my enthusiasm doubled to know the reason. I politely said, 'Aunty, you are visiting someone?' 我顿时兴致倍增，更想刨根问底了。我礼貌的问，“您去拜访什么人吗？” She smiled triumphantly and said, 'Yes!' 她露出自豪的微笑，说到“没错。” Just to linger the conversation, I talked to her in a very jolly mood, 我还不想住嘴，一副兴高采烈的样子对她说， 'Auntie, you must be feeling so excited to see your child and your grand children.' “阿姨，能看到自己的孩子和孙子，您一定很高兴。“ Perhaps, this question hurt her a little but boldly she answered, 听到我的问题，她似乎有些被戳到痛处，但她还是宽容的答道， 'Oh, dear! You are so sweet! “哦，亲爱的，你太好了。 Anyways, I had only one son who joined in army 不过，我只有一个儿子参军 and was killed by the terrorist attack just few days before. 就在几天前，他在一场恐怖袭击中去世了。 I bought so many new clothes with the winter garments for him. 我还给他买了这么多衣服，准备过冬穿呢。 So, I thought why not I would spare my son's clothes to some other soldiers, 所以，我就想，为什么不把给儿子的衣服送给其他的士兵呢 so that I would restraint my sorrow and would be happy thinking that my own son has worn it. 这样一来，我的悲伤或许会减轻一些，看到他们穿着这些衣服，就像我自己的儿子穿着一样，我一定会很高兴。 He was a bachelor, so I don't have any grand child.' 他还是个单身汉，所以我还没有孙子呢。” I was stunned hearing her heart breaking story! 她的故事简直让人心碎，我目瞪口呆！ But I saluted the old lady from the core of my heart. 可是，我又从心底生出对这位老妇人的敬意。 I was thinking of her brave heart! 我想，她的心多么坚强呀！ (责任编辑：admin) |
