【正文】 the first time she met Larry, her first words and her first kiss. Every inch of her memory had a bond to a whole new memory. Now she remembered everything。t tell what she was wearing, my Mom, her white hair and her beautiful blue eyes and smile, was wearing a peach blouse and slacks, my Dad wasn39。父親留下的老照片告訴我，人們并沒有什么不同，所有人都想充分享受人生樂趣，體味家的溫 馨。 the coast of Morocco (摩洛哥 ) and the Presidio (要塞 ) of Ceuta (休達 ， 摩洛哥北部港市 ) are only ten miles away across the Straits. That is how I got here: squeezed in with fifteen other men in a shallow boat meant for eight, with the cold waves reaching over the sides and the night deep and black as a tomb. I have never been more scared. I prayed all the way across, and thought about my family. I told myself, over and over, that I was doing it for them. That trip took almost all of my money. All of the money I had saved in Ecuador (厄瓜多爾 ) . The boatmen left us on a beach in the middle of the night. We lost sight of them but we could still hear their small engine across the waves. Six of us started walking inland but the others waited for the contacts, the friends of the boatmen, as they had been told. We were lucky: we met Paulo. We found the town and waited until the first bar opened。然而不久，政府要求我們必須有工作許可證才能繼續(xù)打工。s back door, behind two tall metal containers that stank (發(fā)出臭味 ) of rotting meat and spoiled foodstuff (食品 ). I gasped, and each breath burnt. My heart hammered against my chest. I waited for a long time until the sounds of the cars and people faded. I walked slowly to the end of the alley and looked out, but the streets were empty. I had run almost to the river。s Dad ever being a kid. He looked like he was having a great time probably because he was with my mother. She is smiling in the picture and wearing a white blouse, blue shorts and tennis shoes. She is quite a looker(美女 ),I can see why my Dad liked her so much. I dig down to the bottom of the box and see two large photographs. One is dated 1900 and the other one is dated 1997—a recent picture that looks similar to the older one. The older picture looks familiar because it is taken in the same place—the summer home. I will describe the older photograph as very interesting in the style of dress and exactly(確切地 ， 精確地 ) where the people are sitting. They are posed outside the cottage by a small tree that is still there today. A woman is sitting in a rocking chair, with here black hair pulled up in a bun(腦后的發(fā)髻 ).She is not smiling but looking away from the camera and wearing a long black dress. Another woman is wearing a white blouse with a necktie(領(lǐng)結(jié) )and a long black skirt. Her hair is also long and blonder(金黃色的 )but pulled back in a bun. There are two men on either side of a wooden table. Both men appear older and are dressed in hats and suits and ties, trousers and Sunday shoes. Neither is smiling. (I have the distinct feeling that the women are their wives and it is Sunday.) They probably are hungry for their roast beef and potatoes, but that is just my guess. There is a young boy, probably about 13 in the photograph. He is wearing a white blouse, black shorts, long black socks and tan sports shoes. He is petting a black dog that is sitting on top of the round wooden table. The boy is bending down and he isn39。 not until you have signed and received your letter. ‖ ―My letter! Who could send that?‖ ―I am not sure. It’s someone named . Sounds like a postgraduate degree to me. ‖ 第 10 頁 共 110 頁 ―Never mind, I’11 sign it.‖ Tanya received the letter. It was a registered letter from within the town. She wondered who could that . be. She opened the envelope and the mystery that was enclosed in it. The handwriting sparked a memory but she felt too overwhelmed to scrape her past. Her heartbeat(G跳 )started flying like butterfly wings. It wasn’t just a letter with ordinary words written on a piece of paper. She could feel those words blazing over her heart. They were telling her stories of her long lost love. My flowered wish Tanya! I once saw my home in the streets of your palm, my destiny in the smiles of your promises, and my shelter in the shadows of your eyes. I treasured all your whispers under my pillow, your fragrance in my breaths, and your name in my ears. Your face still lightens(使發(fā)亮 )up the sky in the night, your voice still rhymes them rain fall, and your hair still soften the wind. The sun always rose from the sparkle of your eyes. And then, time flew you away into someone else39。I don’t want to lose my ten years.‖ She decided and turned back. Larry ran after her but she had reached her car. Larry called her with a passionate cry, ―Tanya!‖ She opened the door and sat in. Larry stopped abruptly with shock in his eyes. Tanya turned the ear back. ―You are my wish, Tanya!‖ Larry murmured. She stepped on the car. Larry saw her going into the sunset. ―Who was he, mommy?‖Nicole couldn’t catch any idea out of it. ―He was a nobody, my dear.‖ Tanya kept driving into the sunset. 注釋 : romance sunrise microscopic detail→★ tailor polish snack magic→★ magic magician pause slight insert condemn mit→★ mittee orbit wrinkle mirror sunset vicious→★ vice butterfly yell uneasy absence→★ absent/present towel eldest overnight register protest milk→★ milk scream swallow cease laundry single→★ single uncertain→★ certainly postman→★ post vanish un。沒有停頓，沒有休息，沒有絲毫改變。s standards but the young women didn39。 supervisors (管理人 ， 監(jiān)工 ) came to choose who would work that day. But still we had some hope. We lost the house in the third month, as we had no money for rent. We were able to get some food from the charity kitchens around the town, and the church, but we found always a long queue and very little food. We took our bags and blankets and s
