Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C.I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street,my mind was flooded by memories of the past.I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played.As I viewed these once familiar surroundings,images of myself as a child there came to mind.However,what I saw and what I remembered were not the same.I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.
My old apartment building,as I remember,was bright and alive.It was more than just a place to live.It was a movie house,a space station,or whatever my young mind could imagine.I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement.This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark,and there were so many things there to hide among.There was a small river in the back of the building.We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However,what I saw was completely different.The apartment building was now in disrepair.What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in.The windows were all broken.The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks.The river was hardly recognizable.The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead.The once sweet smelling river now smelled terrible.It was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood.However,I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same.I suppose it is true when they say,“You can never go home again.”
上星期,我拜访了我在华盛顿的一位老邻居.我离开那里已有20年了,当我走在街道上时,过去的记忆涌上心头.我看到我以前居住的公寓和游乐场.当我看到这些熟悉的建筑物时,少年时代的影象随之而来.但是,我看到的并非是我以前所想的一样.我悲伤的认识到最好的记忆是那些尘封未动的记忆.我的旧公寓,在我的记忆中,很光亮很有活力.它不仅仅是一个居住的地方.而是一个电影院,是空间站,或者是我年轻的脑袋里所能想到的任何东西.我远离我的朋友,在地下室玩耍.这总是很刺激,因为这很酷,在黑暗中,那里有和多隐藏的东西.在住房的后面有一条小河,以前我们总是去那里,躺在树下,并自得其乐.
但我现在看到却完全不同.公寓破旧不堪.在以前看来不仅仅是一个居住的地方,现在看起来已不能居住.窗户都破了.曾经干净的墙面写满了肮脏的字.小河已无法辩认.河水被污染了,树和花都死了.曾经带有舔舔香味的小河,现在臭气熏天.我震惊了.
看到这些,我并不后悔.但是我认为我的美好童年记忆并不是这样的.我希望这是真的,当他们对我说:'你再也不能回家了."
