During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation –nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
在晚饭期间,我们达成共识——不聊什么特别的,只追随彼此生活的近况。我们聊了如此之多,以至于我们错过了电影。
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.
几天后,我的母亲由于一场严重的心脏病发作离开了人世。事情发生得如此突然,以致于我没有机会再为她做任何事。
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates – one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”
过了一段时间,我收到了一封含有我和母亲吃的同一家餐厅的收据复件的信件。附着的纸条写道:“我提前把单买了。我不确定我是否能出现。但尽管如此,我付了两人份——一份给你,另一份给你的妻子。你永远不会知道那晚对我意味着什么。我爱你,儿子。”
