I
still
remember
the
last
Christmas
Granny
spent
with
us.[1] It
began
in
the
middle
of
November
on
a
cold,
windy
day. I
remember
the
wind
because
Grannys
grey
hair
was
a
mess①
when
she
arrived. That
was
also
the
day
Granny
moved
in② . Somehow③, at
the
time, I
didnt
know
she
was
sick. Maybe
I
was
too
young, maybe
she
hid
it
too
well, or
maybe
I
was
just
too
excited
that
Christmas
was
on
the
way④.

【译文助读】
我仍记得奶奶和我们一起度过的最后一个圣诞节。 它开始于 11 月中旬的一个寒风刺骨的
日子。 我记得那天的风, 因为奶奶到达时她的灰头发乱作一团。 那天也是奶奶搬进来的日子。
不知道为什么, 当时我并不知道她病了。 或许是因为我太小了, 或许是她隐藏得太好了, 或许
可能是我对圣诞节的到来太兴奋了。
After
Granny
moved
in, she
spent
most
of
her
time
on
the
brown
sofa
by
the
fire⑤. Sometimes
she
was
quiet, but
she
seemed
happy. When
