“
Now I come to think of it—I've never realized this consciously before. Often when I am away from here I revisit it in spirit—wander about among your red chairs, stare at the bowl of fruit on the black table—and just touch, very lightly, that marvel of a sleeping boy's head." He looked at it as he spoke. It stood on the corner of the mantelpiece; the head to one side down-drooping, the lips parted, as though in his sleep the little boy listened to some sweet sound. … "I love that little boy," he murmured. And then they both were silent. A new silence came between them. Nothing in the least like the satisfactory pause that had followed their greetings—the"Well, here we are together again, and there's no reason why we shouldn't go on from just where we left off last time." That silence could be contained in the circle of warm, delightful fire and lamplight. How many times hadn't they flung something into it just for the fun of watching the ripples break on the easy shores. But into this unfamiliar pool the head of the little boy sleeping his timeless sleep dropped—and the ripples flowed away, away—boundlessly far—into deep glittering darkness. And then both of them broke it. She said: "I must make up the fire," and he said: "I have been trying a new …" Both of them escaped.

    译文 如今细细想来，我从前竟从未刻意察觉这一点。每当离开此地，我总会在心底重游这片天地：漫步在你那些红椅之间，凝望着黑色桌子上的果盘，还会轻轻触碰那件绝妙的雕塑——沉睡男孩的头颅。” 他一边说着，一边望向壁炉台角落的雕塑。男孩的脑袋歪向一侧，双唇微张，仿佛在睡梦中聆听着悦耳的声响。 “我很喜爱这个孩童塑像。”他低声说道。随后，两人陷入了沉默。 这是一种全然不同的静默。往日寒暄过后的短暂停顿，满是安然自在，仿佛在说“我们又相聚了，不妨接着上次的话题继续畅谈”。那样的沉静，被融融灯火与暖意炉火温柔包裹。从前无数次，他们随口聊些闲话，只为看这份平静泛起细碎涟漪，再缓缓归于安稳。可这一次，伴着那尊永恒安睡的男孩头像落进心间，涟漪不断荡开，向着无边无际、幽邃闪烁的黑暗深处蔓延。 最终，两人都率先打破了僵局。她开口：“我去添些柴火。”他也同时说道：“我最近尝试了一种新的……”二人都在刻意回避当下的氛围。她添好炉火，挪开茶桌，把那把蓝色扶手椅推到近前。她蜷坐其中，他则向后一靠，陷进柔软的靠垫里。   重点词汇 1. revisit /ˌriːˈvɪzɪt/ v. 重访，回想 2. mantelpiece /ˈmæntlpiːs/ n. 壁炉台 3. timeless /ˈtaɪmləs/ adj. 永恒的，不受时间影响的 4. ripple /ˈrɪpl/ n. 涟漪，波澜 5. boundlessly /ˈbaʊndləsli/ adv. 无边无际地 6. glittering /ˈɡlɪtərɪŋ/ adj. 闪烁微光的 7. make up the fire 添柴生火
