上一題
My mother was 82 and living in Keoluk when, unaccountably, she insisted upon attending a convention of old settlers of the Mississippi Valley. All the way there, and it was some distance, she was young again with excitement and eagerness. At the hotel she asked immediately for Dr. Barrett of St. Louis. He had left for home that morning and would not be back, she was told. She turned away, the fire all gone from her, and asked to go home. Once there she sat silent and thinking for many days, then told us that when she was 18 she had loved a young medical student with all her heart. There was a misunderstanding and he left the country; she had immediately married, to show him that she did not care. She had never seen him since and then she had read in a newspaper that he was going to attend the old settlers’ convention. “Only three hours before we reached that hotel he had been there,” she mourned. She had kept that pathetic burden in her heart 64 years without any of us suspecting it. Before the year was out, her memory began to fail. She would write letters to schoolmates who had been dead for 40 years and wonder why they never answered. Four years later she died.

我的母親 82 歲，住在 Keoluk 時，莫名其妙地堅持要參加密西西比河谷老定居者的大會。一路上，還有一段距離，她又帶著興奮和渴望重新年輕了起來。在旅館裡，她立即要求聖路易斯的巴雷特博士。她被告知那天早上他已經離開回家了，不會回來了。她轉過身去，火已經從她身上消失了，並要求回家。有一次，她靜靜地坐著，想了很多天，然後告訴我們，她18歲的時候，全心全意地愛著一個年輕的醫學生。有一個誤會，他離開了這個國家；她立即​​結婚，向他表明她不在乎。從那以後她就再也沒見過他，後來她在報紙上看到他要參加老定居者大會。 “就在我們到達那家旅館前三個小時，他還在那裡，”她哀悼道。 64 年來，她一直把那個可悲的包袱放在心裡，我們沒有人懷疑。還沒過年，她的記憶力就開始衰退。她會寫信給已經去世 40 年的同學，想知道為什麼他們從來沒有回信。四年後，她去世了。
