The tree in the background has grown to enormous heights and is still standing. The steps leading down to Mousam Lake have cracked and are in awful need of repair. Believe it or not, we still own the old wooden table and all of the rocking chairs owned by the Smart Family. I did a search of the Smart Family and they were originally from Portsmouth(樸茨茅斯 ). At least five other families owned my cottage before my father bought it in 1950 for three thousand dollars. The cottage es with thirteen acres of land that I still own along with my seven brothers and sisters. It was passed on to me when my mother died. We have formed the Camp Fund to pay the taxes and preserve our legacy. It is a beautiful cabin on a prime spot on Mousam Lake. I was not here when this photo was taken and it hangs in the living room of the cabin. Many visitors ment on it and think it is quite amazing to have a house for so long. The history of the house is interesting to view from photographs. Around the table are my brother Bob just wearing a casual shirt and shorts(smiling), Annie wearing a TShirt and shorts. Mike wearing a white shirt and long nylon trousers not smiling, Mary, whom I couldn39。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。s standards but the young women didn39。全家團(tuán)聚的時(shí)刻是珍貴的 …… I love to look at old photographs in the album. My father had a big box of pictures in the cabi and some of the pictures go way back to the 189039。 stalks. I scrambled down to the banks of the river and threw the knife into the river water. I heard it splashed far away. The river touched my feet. I bowed down and washed my sleeve and hand, although the water was so cold, like ice, that my hand became numb. Then I walked back up to the street. I found some of the other workers hiding in the deserted warehouse we had found. One of them went to find Paulo, who came and told me about the old farm buildings near to the coast road. I waited until darkness before I followed the road out of the town, throwing myself into the ditch if I heard a car approaching. The weather has been clear and I have seen the coast of Morocco every day. Across the blue sea, the land is a strip of dark brown and gray, and looks close enough for me to touch. Maybe I could find an old tractor tyre tube around the farm and float across the Straits? Or maybe I could walk along the shore and steal a boat? I do not want to bee a thief. I am an honest man who wants only to work and support his family. But what can I do? I will wait here for Paulo and listen to him. He will tell me what to do for the best. I know that he will help me. 注釋 : store→★ store chestnut grain barrel→★ bar sour engine→★ engine beam patch broken cling numb tremble patrol strait squeeze shallow tomb scare pray→★ pray save→★ safe could inland→★ land contact lucky bar→★ bar open→★ open orchard disappear wrap present happy cabbage bean cucumber pea perfume local→★ local wage landlord→★ land arrange→★ arrange price earn→★ earn week→★ week government→★ government queue application beneath certificate license passport document→★ doctor approve porridge fight rent→★ rent charity mutter spit pavement end→★ end coach agitate aboard speak→★ speak broad→★ broad doorway spill leather shave reject frown avenue glare toss cigaret(te)→★ cigar stab roar slide container spoil foodstuff gasp hammer fade thumb sleeve stain plant→★ plant splash bow→★ bow warehouse ditch approach strip tractor thief→★ thief 譯文 : Unit 2 Timeless Photographs……………………………19 價(jià)值永存的老照片 生活中有很多小事經(jīng)常為人們忽略，但有時(shí)其中蘊(yùn)含的親情卻會(huì)令人回味許久。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
