时光飞逝,那些和祖母一起在后院晾衣服的日子已经过去25年了。我时常会想起我的祖母,想起她的音容笑貌,怀念她,但那天在自己家后院晾衣服的时候却是我第一次觉得自己仿佛又在和她聊天似的。
I’ve never had that feeling going to her 17)graveside or even looking at pictures. Hanging clothes used to feel like a 18)chore. But now, I look forward to it.
我去祖母的墓地拜祭,甚至是翻看以前的照片时,都从来没有这种感觉。以前我总觉得晾衣服是家务杂事,但是现在,我总是怀着期待的心情去做。
I enjoy going out in the yard to hang my laundry and use the time to just take a moment out of my busy day and think about things, or nothing at all—and have a little visit with my grandma.
我很享受去后院晾衣服的时刻,我会在晾衣服的这段时间里将自己从繁忙的日常生活中解脱出来去思考一些事情,或者干脆什么都不想—就是轻松地与祖母闲聊一会儿。
