打印27 The day wore away, and even through the twilight they could see the lone ivy leaf clinging to its stem against the wall. And then, with the coming of the night the north wind was again loosed.
白天慢慢過去了，即便在暮色黃昏之中，他們仍能看到那片孤零零的常青藤葉子，背靠磚墻，緊緊抱住梗莖。爾后，隨著夜幕的降臨，又是北風大作。
28 When it was light enough Johnsy, the merciless, commanded that the shade be raised.
等天色亮起，冷酷無情的約翰西命令將窗簾拉起。
29 The ivy leaf was still there.
常青藤葉依然挺在。
30 Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it. And then she called to Sue, who was stirring her chicken soup over the gas stove.
約翰西躺在那兒，望著它許久許久。接著她大聲呼喚正在煤氣灶上攪雞湯的蘇。
31 "I've been a bad girl, Sudie," said Johnsy. "Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me how wicked I was. It is a sin to want to die. You may bring me a little soup now, and some milk with a little port in it and -- no; bring me a hand-mirror first, and then pack some pillows about me, and I will sit up and watch you cook."
“我一直像個不乖的孩子，蘇迪，”約翰西說。“有一種力量讓那最后一片葉子不掉，好讓我看到自己有多壞。想死是一種罪過。你給我喝點湯吧，再來點牛奶，稍放一點波爾圖葡萄酒――不，先給我拿面小鏡子來，弄幾個枕頭墊在我身邊，我要坐起來看你做菜。”
32 An hour later she said:
一個小時之后，她說：
33 "Sudie, some day I hope to paint the Bay of Naples."
“蘇迪，我真想有一天去畫那不勒斯海灣。”
34 The doctor came in the afternoon, and Sue had an excuse to go into the hallway as he left.
下午大夫來了，他走時蘇找了個借口跟進了過道。
35 "Even chances," said the doctor, taking Sue's thin, shaking hand in his.
“現在是勢均力敵，”大夫說著，握了握蘇纖細顫抖的手。
36 "With good nursing you'll win. And now I must see another case I have downstairs. Behrman, his name is -- some kind of an artist, I believe. Pneumonia, too. He is an old, weak man, and the attack is acute. There is no hope for him; but he goes to the hospital today to be made more comfortable."
“只要精心照料，你就贏了。現在我得去樓下看另外一個病人了。貝爾曼，是他的名字――記得是個什么畫家。也是肺炎。他年老體弱，病來勢又猛。他是沒救了。不過今天他去了醫院，照料得會好一點。”
37 The next day the doctor said to Sue: "She's out of danger. You've won. The right food and care now -- that's all."
第二天，大夫對蘇說：“她脫離危險了。你贏了。注意飲食，好好照顧，就行了。”
38 And that afternoon Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay and put one arm around her.
當日下午，蘇來到約翰西的床頭，用一只手臂摟住她。
39 "I have something to tell you, white mouse," she said. "Mr. Behrman died of pneumonia today in the hospital. He was ill only two days. He was found on the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpless with pain. His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold. They couldn't imagine where he had been on such a terrible night. And then they found a lantern, still lighted, and a ladder that had been dragged from its place, and some scattered brushes, and a palette with green and yellow colors mixed on it, and -- look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn't you wonder why it never fluttered or moved when the wind blew? Ah, darling, it's Behrman's masterpiece -- he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell."
“我跟你說件事，小白鼠，”她說。“貝爾曼先生今天在醫院里得肺炎去世了。他得病才兩天。發病那天上午人家在樓下他的房間里發現他疼得利害。他的鞋子衣服都濕透了，冰冷冰冷的。他們想不出那么糟糕的天氣他夜里會去哪兒。后來他們發現了一個燈籠，還亮著，還有一個梯子被拖了出來，另外還有些散落的畫筆，一個調色板，和著黃綠兩種顏色，――看看窗外，寶貝兒，看看墻上那最后一片常青藤葉子。它在刮風的時候一動也不動，你沒有覺得奇怪嗎？啊，親愛的，那是貝爾曼的杰作――最后一片葉子掉落的那天夜里他畫上了這片葉子。”
