关于我

这里是归家的敦宁。

中午午休在写英语报纸,有一篇阅读看得我全程出戏,于是“大逆不道”地偷偷用手机记了下来。

以下正文:

A strange thing happened to me last Sunday. It was such a beautiful day that I drove to go for a look in the country.

On the way back home, my car stopped. It was out of gas on a lonely road far from a town. I decided to walk until I found someone who could sell me some gas.

I had walked almost a mile before I finally found a house near the road. I was glad to see it, because it was getting dark.

I knocked at the door and a little old lady with long white hair answered. She said, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Come in. Tea is almost ready." "But I only come for some gas," I answered. I couldn't understand what she was talking about.

"Oh, Alfred! You used to like tea."

I quickly explained that my car was out of gas, but she didn't seem to hear me. She just kept calling me Alfred and talking about how long it had been since she had seen me. She was acting very strangely and I was anxious to leave. As soon as she went to get tea, I went out of the house as fast as I could.

Fortunately, there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed. When I told the man about my experience, he said, "Oh, that's Miss Emily. She lives by herself in that big house. She's strange but she wouldn't hurt anybody. She is still waiting for the man she was going to marry thirty years ago. The day before their wedding he left home and never came back because of the war."

当我看到Alfred时很淡定,因为我告诉自己这只是巧合而已不要什么都往APH上套;当我看到Tea时有一瞬间想到了米英但很快掠过了;但当我看到Emily时彻底出戏,向着脑洞打开的方向一去不回头……

占tag抱歉。
