___November, a cold, unseen stranger, ______ the doctors _____(call) Pneumonia, arrived ____ Greenwich Village. Mr Pneumonia placed his icy finger _____ Johnsy; and she lay, barely moving, in her bed ________ ____(凝视着) a blank wall under her blanket.
十一月,一个冷酷、肉眼看不见、医生称之为“肺炎”的不速之客,来到了格林威治村。“肺炎先生”把他冰冷的手指放在Johnsy身上,于是她躺在床上,几乎不动,盖着毯子,眼睛盯着一堵空墙。
The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance ____—let us say, ten. And that chance is for her to want to live. Try to encourage her ________(think) more hopeful thoughts, about the future, about living.”
医生把Sue拉到一边,说:“她的病只有,这么说吧,只有一成希望,这一成希望在于她自己要不要活下去。试着鼓励她多想想有希望的事情、想想未来、想想活下去。”
Sue took some paper and a pen into Johnsy’s room and began a pen drawing, ____________
______(尝试) raise Johnsy’s spirits. Johnsy’s eyes were open, but they weren’t watching her. Instead, she stared out the window and counted backwards: “Ten, nine, eight, seven ...”
Sue拿了几张纸和一支钢笔来到Johnsy的房间,开始画钢笔画,试着让Johnsy打起精神。Johnsy的眼睛是睁着的,但并没有看Sue。相反,她望向窗外,倒数着:“十,九,八,七……”
“What are you counting, dear?” asked Sue. “They’re _______(fall) faster now,” replied Johnsy. “Three days ago there were almost a hundred. But now it’s easy. There are only five _______(leave) now. Five leaves on the ivy vine. When the last one falls, I must go, too. Didn’t the doctor tell you?”
“你在数什么啊,亲爱的?”Sue问道。“它们现在掉得更快了,三天前差不多还有一百来片。现在数起来容易了,只剩下五片了。常春藤上有五片叶子。当最后一片掉下来的时候,我就要离开人世了,难道医生没有说吗?”Johnsy回答说。
“Oh, I never heard of such nonsense,” quickly replied Sue. But Johnsy’s mind was made _____. “I want to see the last one fall. I’m tired of _______(wait). I want to go sailing down, down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves.”
“哦,我从未听过这么荒谬的话。”Sue立刻答到。但是Johnsy决心已定。“我想看着最后一片叶子掉下来,我已经等腻了。我想随风而逝,就像一片可怜的、疲倦的藤叶一样。”
“Try to sleep,” said Sue. Then she went to fetch( ) her neighbour, Mr Behrman, to be a model for her drawing. He was a _______(fail) painter. In 40 years he ____ never produced the masterpiece he _______ _____(渴望) paint. Sue told him about Johnsy’s longing to slip away like the leaves. Behrman cried _____________(难以置信地). “Are there people in the world that foolish to think they’ll die because leaves drop off _____ a vine? This is not a place ____ ____ Miss Johnsy ____ lie sick. Someday I will paint a masterpiece, and we shall all go away.”
“试着睡一会儿吧,”Sue说道。然后她去叫邻居伯曼先生来做绘画模特。他是个失败的画手,40年来,他从未创作出他所渴望的杰作。Sue告诉他Johnsy想要像树叶一样流逝。伯曼不可置信地喊道:“世界上竟有这种傻子,认为藤叶落掉他们就得死?Johnsy小姐实在不应该躺在这里生病。总有一天我要画一幅杰作,然后我们就可以离开这里。”
Behrman and Sue looked out the window at the vine and noticed ____ there was just one _________(remain) leaf. What’s more, a cold rain was falling, mixed with snow.
伯曼和Sue望着窗外的藤蔓,发现藤枝上只剩下最后一片叶子了。更糟糕的是,外面下起冰冷的雨来,雨夹着雪。
The next morning, Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains ____________(open). One leaf remained on the vine, bravely _______ ______(hold on) in the wind and rain. “It will fall today. And I will die with it.”
第二天早上,Johnsy醒来,让打开窗帘。藤上还留着一片叶子,在风雨中勇敢地撑着。“它今天会掉下来的,我也会和它一同死去。”
The _________(follow) day, Johnsy asked again for the curtains to be opened. The leaf was still there!
又过了一天,Johnsy又让打开窗帘。叶子还在那儿!
Johnsy ______(lie) for a long time looking at it. “I’ve been a bad girl, Sue,” said Johnsy. “It is a crime to want to die.” Then she asked for some food.
Johnsy躺了很久,看着它说:“我真是一个坏姑娘,Sue,不想活下去是罪恶。”Johnsy说,然后她要了些吃的。
In the afternoon, the doctor visited, “Even( ) chances,” said the doctor, “with good nursing, you’ll win. And now I must see a fellow downstairs, Behrman. Pneumonia, too. There is no hope for him.”
下午,医生来了,“康复的希望有五成了,只要好好护理,你会胜利的。现在我得去楼下看另一个病人,贝尔曼先生,也是肺炎。他没有希望了。”
The next day, Sue came to Johnsy’s bed. “I have something _________(tell) you,” she said. “Mr Behrman died today. He was ill for only two days. The janitor found him ______(lie) in bed helplessly _____ pain yesterday morning. His shoes and clothing were ___________(湿透了) and icy cold. They couldn’t _________(想象) where he had been ____ such a terrible night. And then they found a _______(灯笼), still _____(light), and some brushes, and—look out the window, dear,____the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn’t you wonder _____ it never moved an inch when the wind ______(blow)? Ah, dear, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece—he painted it there the night when the last leaf ______(fall).”
再过了一天,Sue来到Johnsy的床前。“我有些话要告诉你。”她说,“伯曼先生今天去世了。他生病只有两天时间。昨天早晨,看门人发现他无助地躺在床上,极度痛苦。他的鞋和衣服都湿透了,冰凉冰凉的。他们想不出,在那凄风冷雨的夜里,他究竟是到什么地方去了。后来,他们找到了一盏还亮着的灯笼,还有几支画刷—一亲爱的,看看窗外,墙上最后的那片叶子。你不觉得奇怪嘛,为什么那片叶子在风中一动不动呢?啊,亲爱的,因为那是伯曼的杰作——那天晚上最后的一片叶子掉落时,他画上去的。”
