[00:00:01]With everything ready for the morning, I finally lay in my bed. I felt hyper; 等到一切為明天做的準(zhǔn)備都做完以后，我終于躺到了床上。 [00:05:01]I couldn't stop twitching. I got up and rifled through my shoebox of CDs until I found a collection of Chopin's nocturnes. 我感到既興奮又緊張。我沒(méi)法停止翻來(lái)覆去。我起身在用力裝CD的鞋盒里翻找著，直到我找到一張肖邦的小夜曲合輯。 [00:11:35]I put that on very quietly and then lay down again, concentrating on relaxing individual parts of my body. 我讓它安靜地播放著，然后又躺下了，全神貫注地放松我身體的某些特定部分。 [00:19:36]Somewhere in the middle of that exercise, the cold pills took effect, and I gladly sank into unconsciousness. 在進(jìn)行到這種練習(xí)的某個(gè)地方時(shí)，感冒藥生效了，我愉快地陷入了昏睡之中。 [00:26:27]I woke early, having slept soundly and dreamlessly thanks to my gratuitous drug use. 我醒得很早，幸虧我無(wú)端的服用藥物，我一夜無(wú)夢(mèng)酣眠。 [00:35:41]Though I was well rested, I slipped right back into the same hectic frenzy from the night before. 雖然我休息得很好，我還是立刻陷入了昨晚那種頭腦發(fā)熱的狂亂中。 [00:41:01]I dressed in a rush, smoothing my collar against my neck, fidgeting with the tan sweater till it hung right over my jeans. 我急急忙忙地穿上衣服，撫平脖子上的衣領(lǐng)，不停地?cái)[弄那件棕褐色的毛衣直到它穩(wěn)穩(wěn)當(dāng)當(dāng)?shù)厣w過(guò)我的牛仔褲為止。 [00:48:25]I sneaked a swift look out the window to see that Charlie was already gone. 我鬼鬼祟祟地向窗外看了一眼，看見(jiàn)查理已經(jīng)走了。 [00:52:45]A thin, cottony layer of clouds veiled the sky. They didn't look very lasting. 一層絮狀的薄云遮蔽了天空。它們看上去不會(huì)持續(xù)太久的。 [00:58:35]I ate breakfast without tasting the food, hurrying to clean up when I was done. 我食不知味地吃完了早餐，然后趕緊去把碗洗干凈。 [01:03:45]I peeked out the window again, but nothing had changed. 我又一次向窗口偷看，但什么都沒(méi)有改變。 [01:05:35]I had just finished brushing my teeth and was heading back downstairs when a quiet knock sent my heart thudding against my rib cage. 我剛剛刷完牙，回到樓下的時(shí)候，一陣安靜的敲門(mén)聲響了起來(lái)，我的心臟宛如小鳥(niǎo)一般在我的肋骨筑成的籠子里砰然亂撞。 [01:14:12]I flew to the door; I had a little trouble with the simple dead bolt, but I yanked the door open at last, and there he was. 我飛奔到門(mén)口，在打開(kāi)那個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的插銷時(shí)遇到了一點(diǎn)困難，但我最終把門(mén)拉開(kāi)了，而他就在那里。 [01:21:32]All the agitation dissolved as soon as I looked at his face, calm taking its place. 當(dāng)我看到他的臉的那一刻，所有的興奮都煙消云散了，被平靜取而代之。 [01:26:37]I breathed a sigh of relief — yesterday's fears seemed very foolish with him here. 我如釋重負(fù)地松了一口氣——他在這里，昨天的恐懼顯得非?；闹?。 [01:31:09]He wasn't smiling at first — his face was somber. But then his expression lightened as he looked me over, and he laughed. 起初他并沒(méi)有微笑——他的臉色很?chē)?yán)峻。但在他上上下下地把我檢查了一遍以后，他的神情明朗起來(lái)，他笑了。 [01:40:00]Good morning, he chuckled. “早上好?！彼p笑著說(shuō)。 [01:41:40]What's wrong? I glanced down to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything important, like shoes, or pants. “怎么了?”我低頭審視著，確認(rèn)自己沒(méi)有忘記任何重要的細(xì)節(jié)，比方說(shuō)鞋子，或者褲子。 [01:48:26]We match. He laughed again. I realized he had a long, light tan sweater on, with a white collar showing underneath, and blue jeans. “我們很般配?！彼中α似饋?lái)。我意識(shí)到他穿了一件長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的淺棕褐色毛衣，底下穿了一件白色的襯衫，還有藍(lán)色的牛仔褲。 [01:57:51]I laughed with him, hiding a secret twinge of regret — why did he have to look like a runway model when I couldn't? 我和他一起笑了起來(lái)，藏住了一陣隱秘的后悔的刺痛——為什么他就非得看上去像個(gè)時(shí)裝模特，而我卻不能呢? [02:06:05]I locked the door behind me while he walked to the truck. He waited by the passenger door with a martyred expression that was easy to understand. 在我鎖門(mén)的時(shí)候，他向卡車(chē)走去。他在乘客門(mén)那兒等著，臉上寫(xiě)著很容易讀懂的受難的表情。 [02:13:10]We made a deal, I reminded him smugly, climbing into the driver's seat, and reaching over to unlock his door. “我們約好的。”我沾沾自喜地提醒他，爬進(jìn)駕駛座，伸出手給他打開(kāi)門(mén)。 [02:20:22]Where to? I asked. “去哪兒?”我問(wèn)道。 [02:23:54]Put your seat belt on — I'm nervous already. “系上你的安全帶——我已經(jīng)開(kāi)始緊張了。” [02:26:11]I gave him a dirty look as I complied. 我狠狠地瞪了他一眼，這才順從了他的命令。 [02:29:36]Where to?

等到一切為明天做的準(zhǔn)備都做完以后，我終于躺到了床上。我感到既興奮又緊張。我沒(méi)法停止翻來(lái)覆去。我起身在用力裝CD的鞋盒里翻找著，直到我找到一張肖邦的小夜曲合輯。我讓它安靜地播放著，然后又躺下了，全神貫注地放松我身體的某些特定部分。在進(jìn)行到這種練習(xí)的某個(gè)地方時(shí)，感冒藥生效了，我愉快地陷入了昏睡之中。

I woke early, having slept soundly and dreamlessly thanks to my gratuitous drug use. ThoughI was well rested, I slipped right back into the same hectic frenzy from the night before. Idressed in a rush, smoothing my collar against my neck, fidgeting with the tan sweater till ithung right over my jeans. I sneaked a swift look out the window to see that Charlie wasalready gone. A thin, cottony layer of clouds veiled the sky. They didn't look very lasting.

我醒得很早，幸虧我無(wú)端的服用藥物，我一夜無(wú)夢(mèng)酣眠。雖然我休息得很好，我還是立刻陷入了昨晚那種頭腦發(fā)熱的狂亂中。我急急忙忙地穿上衣服，撫平脖子上的衣領(lǐng)，不停地?cái)[弄那件棕褐色的毛衣直到它穩(wěn)穩(wěn)當(dāng)當(dāng)?shù)厣w過(guò)我的牛仔褲為止。我鬼鬼祟祟地向窗外看了一眼，看見(jiàn)查理已經(jīng)走了。一層絮狀的薄云遮蔽了天空。它們看上去不會(huì)持續(xù)太久的。

I ate breakfast without tasting the food, hurrying to clean up when I was done. I peeked outthe window again, but nothing had changed. I had just finished brushing my teeth and washeading back downstairs when a quiet knock sent my heart thudding against my rib cage.

我食不知味地吃完了早餐，然后趕緊去把碗洗干凈。我又一次向窗口偷看，但什么都沒(méi)有改變。我剛剛刷完牙，回到樓下的時(shí)候，一陣安靜的敲門(mén)聲響了起來(lái)，我的心臟宛如小鳥(niǎo)一般在我的肋骨筑成的籠子里砰然亂撞。

I flew to the door; I had a little trouble with the simple dead bolt, but I yanked the door open atlast, and there he was. All the agitation dissolved as soon as I looked at his face, calm takingits place. I breathed a sigh of relief — yesterday's fears seemed very foolish with him here.

我飛奔到門(mén)口，在打開(kāi)那個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的插銷時(shí)遇到了一點(diǎn)困難，但我最終把門(mén)拉開(kāi)了，而他就在那里。當(dāng)我看到他的臉的那一刻，所有的興奮都煙消云散了，被平靜取而代之。我如釋重負(fù)地松了一口氣——他在這里，昨天的恐懼顯得非常荒謬。

He wasn't smiling at first — his face was somber. But then his expression lightened as helooked me over, and he laughed.

起初他并沒(méi)有微笑——他的臉色很?chē)?yán)峻。但在他上上下下地把我檢查了一遍以后，他的神情明朗起來(lái)，他笑了。

"Good morning," he chuckled.

“早上好。”他輕笑著說(shuō)。

"What's wrong?" I glanced down to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything important, likeshoes, or pants.

“怎么了?”我低頭審視著，確認(rèn)自己沒(méi)有忘記任何重要的細(xì)節(jié)，比方說(shuō)鞋子，或者褲子。

"We match." He laughed again. I realized he had a long, light tan sweater on, with a white collarshowing underneath, and blue jeans. I laughed with him, hiding a secret twinge of regret —why did he have to look like a runway model when I couldn't?

“我們很般配。”他又笑了起來(lái)。我意識(shí)到他穿了一件長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的淺棕褐色毛衣，底下穿了一件白色的襯衫，還有藍(lán)色的牛仔褲。我和他一起笑了起來(lái)，藏住了一陣隱秘的后悔的刺痛——為什么他就非得看上去像個(gè)時(shí)裝模特，而我卻不能呢?

I locked the door behind me while he walked to the truck. He waited by the passenger door witha martyred expression that was easy to understand.

在我鎖門(mén)的時(shí)候，他向卡車(chē)走去。他在乘客門(mén)那兒等著，臉上寫(xiě)著很容易讀懂的受難的表情。

"We made a deal," I reminded him smugly, climbing into the driver's seat, and reaching over tounlock his door.

“我們約好的。”我沾沾自喜地提醒他，爬進(jìn)駕駛座，伸出手給他打開(kāi)門(mén)。

"Where to?" I asked.

“去哪兒?”我問(wèn)道。

"Put your seat belt on — I'm nervous already."

“系上你的安全帶——我已經(jīng)開(kāi)始緊張了。”

I gave him a dirty look as I complied.

我狠狠地瞪了他一眼，這才順從了他的命令。

"Where to?" I repeated with a sigh.
