That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone, waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away; —
那天晚上在旅馆里，我们在房间里，外面是长延伸的空荡荡的过道，我们的鞋在门外，房间地板上铺着厚厚的地毯，窗外雨声淅淅沥沥，在房间里明亮宜人，轻松愉快，然后灯灭了，有着柔软的床单和舒适的床，感觉像回家了，不再感到孤单，夜里醒来发现对方在身边，并未离开； —

all other things were unreal. We slept when we were tired and if we woke the other one woke too so one was not alone. —
其他事物都显得不真实。我们困了就睡觉，若醒来，对方也会醒来，这样就不会一个人。 —

Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. —
有时候，一个男人渴望独处，一个女孩也想独处，如果他们彼此相爱，他们会嫉妒对方身上的这种愿望，但我可以真诚地说我们从未感受到过那种情绪。 —

We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others. —
当我们在一起时，我们能感受到孤独，独立于他人之外。 —

It has only happened to me like that once. —
只有一次我经历过这样的感觉。 —

I have been alone while I was with many girls and that is the way that you can be most lonely. —
我曾和许多女孩在一起时却感到孤单，这是你最容易感到孤独的方式。 —

But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together. —
但当我们在一起时，我们从未感到孤独，也从未感到害怕。 —

I know that the night is not the same as the day: —
我知道夜晚与白天不同： —

that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started. —
夜晚的事物无法用白天的方式解释，因为它们在白天并不存在，一旦孤独开始，夜晚对于孤独的人来说可能是可怕的时光。 —

But with Catherine there was almost no difference in the night except that it was an even better time. —
但与凯瑟琳在一起，夜晚几乎没有什么不同，除了这是一个更美好的时光。 —

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. —
如果人们将如此多的勇气带到这个世界，世界必须杀死他们才能摧毁他们，所以当然会杀死他们。 —

The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. —
世界摧毁每个人，之后许多人在受伤的地方变得坚强。 —

But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. —
但那些不肯屈服的人，它会杀死。它会毫无偏见地杀死非常善良、非常温柔和非常勇敢的人。 —

If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
如果你不是这些人中的任何一种，你可以肯定它也会杀死你，但不会急于如此。

I remember waking in the morning. Catherine was asleep and the sunlight was coming in through the window. —
我记得早晨醒来。凯瑟琳还在睡觉，阳光透过窗户照进来。 —

The rain had stopped and I stepped out of bed and across the floor to the window. —
雨停了，我从床上走过房间到窗户那里。 —

Down below were the gardens, bare now but beautifully regular, the gravel paths, the trees, the stone wall by the lake and the lake in the sunlight with the mountains beyond. —
楼下是花园，现在光秃秃的，但却美丽地整齐，碎石路，树木，湖边的石墙和阳光下的湖水，远处是山峰。 —

I stood at the window looking out and when I turned away I saw Catherine was awake and watching me.
我站在窗前望出去，回头时看到凯瑟琳醒来，看着我。

“How are you, darling?” she said. “Isn’t it a lovely day?”

“Do you want breakfast?”
“你想吃早餐吗？”

She wanted breakfast. So did I and we had it in bed, the November sunlight coming in the window, and the breakfast tray across my lap.
她想要早餐。我也想，我们就在床上吃了早餐，十一月的阳光透过窗户洒进来，早餐盘搁在我腿上。

“Don’t you want the paper? You always wanted the paper in the hospital?”
“你不想看报纸吗？你在医院里总是想看报纸的吧？”

“No,” I said. “I don’t want the paper now.”
“不，”我说，”我现在不想看报纸。”

“Was it so bad you don’t want even to read about it?”
“那么糟糕吗，连读关于它都不想？”

“I don’t want to read about it.”

“I’d thought something of that.”
“我也曾考虑过这个问题。”

“We’ll get out. Darling, you shouldn’t take silly chances. —
“我们会离开。亲爱的，你不应该冒这种愚蠢的风险。” —

Tell me how did you come from Mestre to Milan?”
“告诉我，你是如何从梅斯特雷到米兰的？”

“I came on the train. I was in uniform then.”
“我是乘火车来的。那时我穿着制服。”

“Weren’t you in danger then?”
“那时候你不是很危险吗？”

“Not much. I had an old order of movement. I fixed the dates on it in Mestre.”
“没什么。我在梅斯特把日期改了。”

“Darling, you’re liable to be arrested here any time. I won’t have it. —
“亲爱的，你随时都可能被逮捕。我不能接受。” —

It’s silly to do something like that. Where would we be if they took you off?”
“这样做太愚蠢了。如果他们把你带走，我们会怎么办？”

“Let’s not think about it. I’m tired of thinking about it.”
“别想了。我已经厌倦了想这事。”

“What would you do if they came to arrest you?”
“如果他们来逮捕你，你会怎么办？”

“Shoot them.”
“开枪打死他们。”

“You see how silly you are, I won’t let you go out of the hotel until we leave here.”
“你看你多傻，在我们离开这里之前我是不会让你出酒店的。”

“Where are we going to go?”
“我们要去哪里？”

“Please don’t be that way, darling. We’ll go wherever you say. —
“亲爱的，请不要这样，我们会去你说的任何地方。” —

But please find some place to go right away.”
“但请立刻找个地方去。”

“Switzerland is down the lake, we can go there.”
“瑞士在湖那边，我们可以去那里。”

“That will be lovely.”
“那会很美好。”

It was clouding over outside and the lake was darkening.
外面开始乌云密布，湖水渐渐变暗。

“I wish we did not always have to live like criminals,” I said.
“我希望我们不总是像罪犯一样生活。”我说。

“Darling, don’t be that way. You haven’t lived like a criminal very long. —
“亲爱的，别这样。你并没有像罪犯一样生活很久。” —

And we never live like criminals. We’re going to have a fine time.”
“我们从来都不像罪犯那样生活。我们会玩得很开心的。”

“I feel like a criminal. I’ve deserted from the army.”
“我觉得自己像个罪犯。我从军队中逃离了。”

“Darling, please be sensible. It’s not deserting from the army. It’s only the Italian army.”
“亲爱的，请理智点。这不算是从军队逃离。那只是意大利军队而已。”

I laughed. “You’re a fine girl. Let’s get back into bed. I feel fine in bed.”
我笑了。“你是个好姑娘。我们回到床上吧。我在床上感觉很好。”

A little while later Catherine said, “You don’t feel like a criminal do you?”
过了一会儿，凯瑟琳说：“你不会觉得自己像个罪犯吧？”

“No,” I said. “Not when I’m with you.”
“不，”我说。”只要和你在一起，我就不会害怕。”

“You’re such a silly boy,” she said. “But I’ll look after you. —
“你真是个傻孩子，”她说。”但我会好好照顾你的。” —

Isn’t it splendid, darling, that I don’t have any morning-sickness?”
“亲爱的，我没有早孕反应，这真是太好了，不是吗？”

“It’s grand.”
“太棒了。”

“You don’t appreciate what a fine wife you have. But I don’t care. —
