I wasn''t taken to the market
我没有被送去某个超市
or that busy restaurant where ancestors go
或者往常他们被送去的那家热闹餐厅
I stayed quietly in the basket
我安静地待在篮子里
the disinfected air felt so cold
空气中充满消毒剂的味道 异常寒冷
some middle-aged men woke me up
几个中年男人把我吵醒
their conversation sounded strange behind the mask
他们带着口罩 说话听起来怪怪的
I lost all my friends when they put me in a sack
我被丢进一个麻袋 与所有朋友失去了联络
then fell asleep again in a pickup truck
接着在一辆载货卡车上我又睡着了
there may have passed a century
时间漫长得仿佛一个世纪
I dreamed about my homeland and some angels in white
在梦中 我看见了故土和一些白衣天使
what''s ahead of me? Who will I meet?
我会迎来怎样的结局？我又会与谁相遇？
why do those angels weep at night?
为什么那些天使在夜晚偷偷哭泣？
the dream ended in a dilapidated house
这场梦终结于一所破旧的房屋
an old lady was cooking with pajamas on
一个老太太正穿着睡衣 在灶台前忙活
I smelled broth, lard, and a tantalizing aroma
我闻到了肉汤、猪油，还有迷人的香气
''what a feast!'' I thought
“多么丰盛的一餐！ ” 我暗想
she carefully packed the meal into a lunch box
她仔细地把饭菜装入饭盒
wiped her hands on an oily rag, then left the kitchen
在油乎乎的抹布上擦了擦手 然后离开厨房
she came back wearing a new wadded jacket
回来的时候 她换上了一件崭新的棉袄
glowing with life as a girl soon to get married
整个人焕发着青春活力 就像一个等待着新郎的小姑娘
then she was out for a long time
然后她出门消失了很长时间
the light squeezed through the window crack darkened
从窗户裂缝中挤进屋的光线逐渐暗沉下来
slow and heavy footsteps arrived at midnight
直到午夜 我终于听见拖沓沉重的脚步声
I couldn''t know what had happened
我并不知道发生了什么
the next morning I was held in her arms
第二天一早 她把我抱在怀中
as we passed the dining table
经过餐桌时 我看到了昨天的饭盒
I saw the lunch box and some moldy steamed buns
和一些发霉的馒头
I didn''t dare to look at her face
我不敢注视她的脸
I felt her breath, her mind was drifting far away
我能感受到她的喘息 她的思绪已飘向远方
she walked to the house next door and knocked three times
她走向隔壁的房子 翘了三下门
a skinny boy came out and gazed at us
开门的是一个瘦骨嶙峋的男孩 盯着我们看了半天
he was trembling, eyes shone with tears
他有些发抖 眼中闪着泪光
"take it, son, they gave me for free."
“拿去吧孩子，这是他们免费送的。”
that was the last time I saw the old lady
这是我最后一次见到老太太
nothing I heard could prove her living
后来听闻的一切消息都不足以证实她的现状
three days later the siren of an ambulance rattled the neighborhood
不过三天之后 一辆救护车的鸣笛声惊扰了整个小区
I couldn''t know what had happened
我又知道些什么呢
