When they were within three miles of home,she suddenly shouted to her husband,"Stop the car. Stop right here!"
當他們離家不足3英里時,她突然向丈夫大聲喊道:"停車,就在這里停車!"
The man slammed on the brakes. Before he could ask her why she wanted to stop,the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. At the top of the hill was a nursing home and,because it was such a beautiful spring day,the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.
那個男人嘎地剎住車。還沒等他問為什么,女人就已經下了車,匆匆走向附近的草坡,懷里仍抱著紫丁香。山頂上是一家療養院,因為這是一個美麗的春日,所以病人正在室外和親友溜達或坐在門廊上。
The young woman went to the end of the porch,where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair,alone,head bowed,her back to most of the others. Across the porch railing went the flowers,in to the lap of the old woman. She lifted her head,and smiled. For a few moments,the two women chatted,both aglow with happiness,and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. As the car pulled away,the woman in the wheelchair waved,and clutched the lilacs.
那個年輕女人走到門廊的盡頭,只見那里有一個上了年紀的病人正坐在輪椅里,獨自一人,低著頭,背對著其他人。年輕女人越過門廊欄桿,將鮮花放在了老太太的膝間。老太太抬起頭,露出了笑臉。兩個女人聊了一會兒,都興高采烈。隨后,那個年輕女人轉身跑回到家人的身邊。當汽車開動時,坐在輪椅里的那個女人揮動著手,手里緊緊地握著那束紫丁香花。
