【正文】 the journey, and the longer the likely absence, the earlier do we turn up, and the more lamentably do we fail. Our failure is in exact ratio to the seriousness of the occasion, and to the depth of our feeling.In a room, or even on a doorstep, we can make the farewell quite worthily. We can express in our faces the genuine sorrow we feel. Nor do words fail us. There is no awkwardness, or restraint, on either side.The thread of our intimacy has not been snapped. The leavetaking is an ideal one. Why not, then, leave the leavetaking at that? Always, departing friends implore us not to bother to e to the railway station next morning. Always we are deaf to these entreaties, knowing them tobe not quite sincere. The departing friends would think it very odd ofus if we took them at their word. Besides, they really do want to see 第 8 頁us again. And that wish is heartily reciprocated. We duly turn up. And then, oh then, what a gulf yawns! We stretch our arms vainly across it. We have utterly lost touch. We have nothing at all to say. We gaze at each other as dump animals gaze human beings. We “make conversation” and SUCH conversation! We know that these friends are the friends from whom we parted overnight. They know that we have not altered. Yet on the surface, everything is different。 and the tension is such that we only long for the guard to blow his whistle and put an end to the farce.On a cold gray morning of last week I duly turned up at Euston, to see off an old friend who was starting for America. Overnight, we had given him a farewell dinner, in which sadness was well mingled with festivity. Years probably would elapse before his return. Some of us might never see him again. Not ignoring the shadow of the future, we gaily celebrated the past. We were as thankful to have known our guest as were grieved to lose him。 and both these emotions were made manifest. It was a perfect farewell.IV. Translate the essay below into English.
