Take a Drive
駕車
She wanted to travel. He asked her where she wanted to go. She said she wanted to just get on the road and drive for a day or two. She wanted to get out of the house and out of the city. They packed a small suitcase. They packed their underwear, shorts, and toothbrushes, among other things. They looked at a map. “Should we drive into the mountains, or along the coastline?” he asked. She said it didn’t matter. The next day they got up early. They put the suitcase into the trunk. He drove to a gas station and filled up the tank. He drove onto the freeway and headed west. “So, we’re going up the coast?” she asked. Yes, he told her. “Maybe we’ll see some whales,” she said. A half hour later, they could see the ocean. They drove north on the two-lane highway. After another hour, he pulled over. They got out of the car and walked onto the beach. Even though it was windy and chilly, they saw surfers in the ocean. They were sitting on their boards, waiting for waves. She was shivering. He put his arm around her to help keep her warm. She smiled at him. “Let’s continue driving,” she said. “We can pull over again when the sun is higher.”
她想去旅行。他問她想去哪旅游。她說只是想在公路上開一兩天車。她想離開居所，離開這座城市。他們簡單整理了下行李。他們將內衣、短褲、牙刷等事物打包。他們看了地圖。他問道：“我們應該去山林間還是沿海岸線行駛？”她稱這些不重要。第二天他們一早出發。他們將行李放進后備箱。他將車開到加油站，將油箱加滿油。他開上高速路，一直奔西開。她問道：“我們是要沿海岸線行駛嗎？”是的，他之前告訴她了。她說：“我們或許可以去看海豚。”半小時后，他們看到了大海。他們在雙車道高速上向北開。又一個小時過后，他將車停下。他們下車向海邊走去。盡管刮著海風，天氣很涼，但他們在大海上看見了沖浪者。他們坐在浮板上等待海浪。她凍得發哆嗦。他摟住她讓她保暖。她沖他笑了笑。她說：“我們繼續行駛吧。等到太陽高一點時我們再將車停下。”
