内容正文:
My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”
“What is?” I asked.
“To talk, you and I,” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves now that we’re in the situation we are in.”
“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprisedthat here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was
And that’s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feeling and fears of life---from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.
Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “ I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”中文翻译
我父母大吵了一架,我真的很难过。我不知道我该和谁谈谈我的感受。所以我请求妈妈允许我在我最好的朋友家过夜。虽然我知道我不会告诉她我父母的情况,但我还是很期待走出家门。我正在收拾东西,突然小区停电了。妈妈来告诉我,我应该和爷爷呆在一起,直到电力恢复。
我真的很失望,因为我觉得我们没有什么可谈的。但我知道他一个人在黑暗中会很害怕。我去了他的房间,告诉他我会陪着他直到电力恢复。他相当高兴,说:“很好的机会。”
“什么是?”我问。
“来谈谈,你和我,”他说。“私下开个小会,讨论一下我们该怎么对待你的爸爸妈妈,以及我们现在处在这种情况下该怎么对付自己。”
“但我们对此无能为力,爷爷。”我说,很惊讶有个人能和我分享我的感受,还有个人和我住在同一条“船上”
我和祖父之间最不可思议的友谊就是这样开始的。坐在黑暗中,我们谈论了我们对生活的感受和恐惧---从事物的变化有多快,到它们有时变化得不够快。那天晚上,因为停电,我找到了一个新朋友,可以放心地和他谈论我所有的恐惧和痛苦,不管它们是什么。
突然,所有的灯都亮了起来。“好吧,”他说,“我想这意味着你现在想走了。我真的很喜欢我们的谈话。希望每隔几个晚上就停电一次!“
