We do, Father will say and be as carefree and relaxed as he used to be. "Never fear, child, there is a remedy for your trouble."
“我們知道啊，”父親會說，一副輕松隨意的模樣，一如從前?！皠e怕，孩子，你的煩惱會有解決辦法的?！?/div>
Yes, Father, but that's not all. I am also heavily in debt to those who have formed and molded our language into the good instrument that it is, and taught me to use it. And, then, am I not in debt to those who have written in prose and in verse before my time, who have turned writing into art, the torchbearers, the pathfinders? The great Norwegians, the great Russians who wrote when I was a child, do I not owe them a thousand debts?
“不錯，爸，可是我還沒說完呢。還有那些人，他們把我們的語言鍛造成如今這么精良的工具，并教會我如何使用，我也欠他們太多。還有啊，那些在我出生之前就寫下各種詩文的人，將寫作變成藝術(shù)，傳遞知識、開創(chuàng)道路的人，我難道不欠他們的嗎？那些偉大的挪威人，偉大的俄羅斯人，在我孩提時就已在寫作的他們，難道我不欠他們一千一萬筆債嗎？”
Yes, yes, Father will say. "You are right, yours is a heavy debt but, never fear, we will find a way."
“是，是，”父親會說。“你說得對，你是負(fù)了沉重的債，不過，別怕，我們總會想出辦法的?！?/div>
Father, I am also in debt to my readers. I owe them so much.
“爸，我還欠了讀者的債。欠他們太多了。”
Yes, yes, Father will say, and I shall see him look a little less calm. Surely, he will begin to understand that it will not be easy to help me.
“對啊，對啊，”父親會說，這時他該看來不那么泰然自若了?？梢钥隙ǎ@時他會開始明白，要幫我并不容易。
Remember all who have helped me, Father! I shall say. "Do you not understand now that I had to come to you to ask how such debts can be paid?"
“想想所有幫助過我的人，爸！”我會說。“你現(xiàn)在還不明白嗎，我來找您是想問您如何還清這一切債務(wù)？”
