After the doctor had gone Sue went into the workroom and cried. Then she marched into Johnsy's room with her drawing board, whistling a merry tune. “好吧,”大夫说。“我会尽一切努力,只要是科学能做到的。可是,但 凡病人开始计算她出殡的行列里有几辆马车的时候,我就要把医药的疗效减去 一半。”大夫走后,苏去工作室哭了一场。随后她携着画板大步走进约翰西的房 间,口里吹着轻快的口哨。 9 Johnsy lay, scarcely making a movement under the bedclothes, with her face toward the window. She was looking out and counting -- counting backward. 约翰西躺在被子下几乎一动不动,脸朝着窗。她望着窗外,数着数―― 倒数着数! 10 "Twelve," she said, and a little later "eleven"; and then "ten," and "nine"; and then "eight" and "seven," almost together. “12,”她数道,过了一会儿“11”,接着数“10”和“9”;再数“8”和 “7”,几乎一口同时数下来。 11 Sue looked out of the window. What was there to count? There was only a bare, dreary yard to be seen, and the blank side of the brick house twenty feet away. An old, old ivy vine climbed half way up the brick wall. The cold breath of autumn had blown away its leaves, leaving it almost bare. 苏朝窗外望去。外面有什么好数的呢?外面只看到一个空荡荡的沉闷的 院子,还有 20 英尺开外那砖房的侧墙,上面什么也没有。一棵古老的常青藤爬 到半墙高。萧瑟秋风吹落了枝叶,藤上几乎光秃秃的。 12 "Six," said Johnsy, in almost a whisper. "They're falling faster now. Three days ago there were almost a hundred. It made my head ache to count them. But now it's easy. There goes another one. There are only five left now
6”,约翰西数着,声音几乎听不出来。“现在叶子掉落得快多了。三天 前差不多还有100片。数得我头都疼。可现在容易了。又掉了一片。这下子只 剩5片了。” Five what dear? 5片什么,亲爱的?” that for three days. Didnt the doctor tell you m One falls I must go, too. I've known 14 Leaves. On the ivy vine. When the last “叶子。常青藤上的叶子。等最后一片叶子掉了,我也就得走了。三天 前我就知道会这样。大夫没跟你说吗?” 15 Oh, I never heard of such nonsense. What have old ivy leaves to do with your getting well? Don't be so silly. Why, the doctor told me this morning that your chances for getting well real soon were ten to one! Try to take some soup now, and let Sudie go and buy port wine for her sick child “噢,我从没听说过这种胡说八道。常青藤叶子跟你病好不好有什么关 系?别这么傻。对了,大夫上午跟我说,你的病十有八九就快好了。快喝些汤, 让苏迪给她生病的孩子去买些波尔图葡萄酒来。 16 You needn't get any more wine, "said Johnsy, keeping her eyes fixed out the window. There goes another. No, I don't want any soup. That leaves just four. I want to see the last one fall before it gets dark. Then I 'll go, too. I'm tired of waiting I'm tired of thinking. I want to turn loose my hold on everything, and go sailing down, down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves “你不用再去买酒了,”约翰西说道,两眼一直盯着窗外。“又掉了一片。 不,我不想喝汤。这一下只剩下4片了。我要在天黑前看到最后一片叶子掉落。 那时我也就跟着走了。我都等腻了。也想腻了。我只想撇开一切,飘然而去, 就像那边一片可怜的疲倦的叶子。” Try to sleep, "said Sue. " I must call Behrman up to be my model for the old miner. I'll not be gone a minute “快睡吧,”苏说。“我得叫贝尔曼上楼来给我当老矿工模特儿。我去去 就来。” 18 Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them. He was past sixty and had a long white beard curling down over his chest. Despite looking the part, Behrman was a failure in art. For forty years he had been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. He earned a little by se rving as a model to those young artists who could not pay the price of a professional. He drank gin to excess, and still talked of his coming masterpiece.
