During my last stay in France,I took to biking down a quiet road.Round a
corner ,I found a woman sitting in front of a little shabby house.I don’t know why,but something about her attracted my interest .I waved at her as I went by,and she must have thought I was some silly
tourist because she didn’t wave back.The same thing happened the second day.But on the third day,the old woman returned a hesitated wave ,and the next day,she nearly got out of her chair as I called out,“Morning,madam!” It became a small ritual(仪式) between us.She had no idea who I was,nor when I was coming,but she seemed to be waiting for me.
On my last ride,I bought some flowers and cycled down to the house,only to find she wasn’t there She had gone to hospital for surgeries. Disappointed ,I tied the flowers to her gate as a parting gift.Back at my place,I told Roger,the gardener,of my missed connection .“The old lady at the corner is suffering leg injuries,through which walking has been troubling her,” he said,adding “by the quiet road there used to be a station.Whenever a train passed,the couple would see the passengers waving excitedly ,especially the children—for them,such a ride was high adventure. Thus ,everything is gone except for this couple.”
It seems that my bicycle ride called to mind her past days.As Roger said,“she has missed the trains and the waves.You brought them back to her.” By reaching out,in a way that cost me nothing ,I’d given more than I had realized.
我上次在法国期间,在一条安静的路上骑自行车.在转弯处,我发现一个女人坐在一间破房子前.不知道为什么,她引起了我的注意.接近她时我向她招手,她一定认为我是个傻乎乎的游客,因为她并没有向我招手.第二天也发生了同样的事,但第三天这个女人犹犹豫豫地招了下手,而第四天当她听到我的呼唤她起身离开了椅子.“早上好,女士!”打招呼成了我们之间的一个小仪式,她不知道我是谁,不管我是否来,她都像是在等我.
我上一次骑车时,我买了一些花并返回到房子前,但发现她并不在那,她去医院做手术了.失望,我将花系在门上作为离别礼物.返回到我的住处,我告诉罗格那个我没有见到的菜农.“那个在路边的老妇人得了严重的腿疾,一走路就会让她痛苦不堪”他接着说“在这条安静的路边原来有一个车站.当车子经过时他们夫妇总会看到乘客挥手告别,特别是对孩子挥手.由于这条路很危险,因此所有的东西(车站人群)都迁走了,只剩下这对夫妇.
这样看来我骑车向她打招呼勾起了她的回忆.罗格接着说”她想念车子和挥手.你又将这些在她那里重现“这一路上我并没有付出太多,但出乎意料地收获了很多.
