英语翻译
A month and a half later,Colin presented a pair of tickets on my birthday,tucked into the band of his trousers and only discovered after his shirt came off.They were for a book signing and reading event featuring Emily Barnes,a writer I absolutely adored.
"I'm sorry the thing is next weekend and not today,but I thought we could celebrate your birthday a second time just the same," he winked.
I was more than thrilled.The week leading up to the event,I re-read all of her books and agonized over which one of the four I should bring to have her sign,since we were only allowed one signature each.Colin laughed at me and said I was acting like a teenybopper when I made him promise to get in line as well,so that I could have two signed books instead of just one.
On the day of the event,we arrived at the bookstore early.They had cleared a section of the store by pushing bookshelves back,so that the whole place looked denser than I remembered,like a jungle that had turned magical and overgrown itself overnight.I certainly felt the magic,looking at the temporary stage and the half-filled rows of chairs in worship before it.
Colin held me by my hand and led me to seats in the last row.When I protested,he smiled and pointed to the speakers mounted just behind us.
"But I can read her lips if we sit up front!"
"But that's not the point of readings,is it?"
"But-"
"Do you admire her words or her looks?Would you rather hear her own interpretation of her text or see her face?"
I sat down,clutching two of Emily Barnes' books,convinced of the evening,and also of Emily Barnes,of Colin,of us.
It would have been perfect.Sometimes I still think about it.
The store manager walked up the temporary stage promptly at 6 PM.Her turquoise green heels were precarious,and I imagined the clicking that came with each step.
"Welcome,ladies and gentlemen," she said.
The P.A.system was not of very high quality,and the bookstore really wasn't set up for that kind of thing,but I could make out every word of the store manager's introduction of Emily Barnes if I focused.Colin squeezed my hand and raised his eyebrows at me.I gave him my sweetest smile and nodded.
我不要翻译软件翻译的!只想拿分的请走开,不要在这里占地方!
一个半月后,科林送了我一份生日礼物,他左翻右找,终于在衬衫里面找到了,这是艾米丽--巴纳斯的一个签名活动,是我崇拜的一位作家.
“很抱歉门票的日期是下个周末而不是今天,但是我认为第二次庆祝你的生日也是一样的”他宽慰的说道
我实在是太高兴了,上一周为了准备这个活动,我把艾米丽--巴纳斯的书重新看了一遍只为了在里面找出一本来给他签名,因为每人只有一个签名的机会!科林打趣我说道我就像是一个热情洋溢的粉丝,别人只有一个签名的机会,而你有两个.
在签名活动的当天,我们早早地来到书店,他们正在来回地推动着书架整理着书籍,这样一来,整个书架的书籍的位置和我记忆中的就不一样了,就像施了魔法一般,一晚之间书架焕然一新,而我深刻地感受到了这魔法的威力,呆呆地望着场地上的一排排椅子发愣!
科林牵着我的手来到最后一排坐下,我对科林的举措迷惑不解,科林说音箱就装在我们后面!
“如果我们坐在前面,我可以读他的唇语”我说
“我们来者的目的不是要读他的唇语吧”科林说
“但是.”
“你是要倾听他的话还是要看他的脸或是演讲稿呢?”
我抱着2本艾米丽的书籍坐着,相信在晚上的时候,艾米丽,科林科沃都在这里!
那真是太完美了,我时不时地幻想着!
店长在6点的时候准时到场,绿宝石色的高跟鞋感觉很没有安全感,我为她的每一步都揪着心!
“各位女士先生们,欢迎”店长说
音响系统质量不是很好,并且书店这次是第一次举办这样的活动,但是只要我用心听,还是可以听的到店长对艾米丽--巴纳斯的介绍.
科林抓着我的手对我挤眉弄眼,我回报以我甜甜的微笑和轻轻得点头!
