双语美文:给幸福一个机会
He and she were sitting face to face. At this moment, the landlord came in and asked, “Are you sure you do not rent the house any more?” He kept silent and she only shook her head. They were going to divorce, so it was obvious that they would not continue renting the house any more. 她和他默默地对坐着。房东进来问:“你们真的不租了吗?”他沉默不语,她摇了摇头,她和他就要离婚了,还需要租房吗?
Then the landlord began examining the house. After looking around, the landlord screamed, “Damn God! See how you have ruined my house? The walls are full of nails! How could I rent the house to others?”房东开始验收房子,在房间里转了一圈后,突然尖叫起来:“你们把我家弄成什么样子了,墙上到处是铁钉,还让我怎么继续出租啊!”
He said, “The room is too small and can hardly accommodate all of our things. So we could only hang them on the walls。” The landlord did not listen to him and turned around up to the floor。他不得不开口了:“房间太小了,东西多了放不下,只能挂在墙上。”房东不听他说,转身“噔噔噔”上了楼。
She began looking around her familiar room. Four years ago, she became his bride here. On the night of their marriage, he felt deeply guilty to her, saying, “I feel so sorry to you for having you live in this small room. In the future I will earn a lot of money to buy our own house。”她打量着熟悉的家。四年前,她在这里做了他的新娘。新婚那晚,他对她充满了愧疚:“委屈你了,以后咱一定挣钱买大房子。”
The room was only 13 square meters with two nails on the wall next to the door, one for her to hang her bag and the other for hanging umbrellas. At that time, she threw all her stuff such as her bag and umbrella on the floor once she entered the room, staring at the whole mess and feeling terribly upset。房间只有13平方米,门边那两颗铁钉,一颗是用来给她挂包的,另一颗是用来挂雨伞的。那会儿,她一进门就把包啊伞啊丢在地上,然后看到满地乱七八糟的东西开始心烦。
There were three nails on the left wall, on which hung his clothes yesterday. After he lived in the room, he removed all the clothes boxes and bought her a desk in the spared room because he knew she loved writing and drawing. 左边的墙上有三颗铁钉,昨天那三颗钉子上面还都挂满了衣服。他住进来后就把装衣服的箱子给撤走了,腾出来的空间,他给她加了一张写字台,因为她平时喜欢写写画画。
There were four nails on the right wall that were used to fix their wedding photo frame. But now there were only four nails without the frame. She still remembered he got hurt on his fingers when trying to drive the nails home. It was her who pushed him to receive an injection against tetanus in the hospital. 右边的墙上有四颗铁钉,是用来固定他们的婚纱照的。现在上面却只剩四颗孤零零的铁钉。她记得,钉这四颗铁钉的时候,他的手不小心受伤了,是她逼着他去医院打了预防破伤风的针。
