小吉讲述了春游那晚讲鬼故事， 又做恶梦， 以及接下来一个月里， 反复做同一个恶梦的情形。 |
Xiaoji told her about the story telling night during field trip, the nightmare, and the recurrences of the same nightmare in the month followed. |
|
xiăo jí jiăngshù le chūnyóu nà wăn jiăng guĭgùshi，
yòu zuò èmèng， yĭjí jiēxiàlái yī gè yuè lĭ， fănfù zuò tóngyī gè èmèng de qíngxing。 |

说完，她补充道， |
After she finished, she added, “I feel that … it has taken its toll on the relationship between my Dad and me. The dream was so real. It brought me to realize that my Dad has been lying to me.” |
|
shuō wán， tā bŭchōng dào， ＂wŏ juéde… tā yĭngxiăng le wŏ hé bàba de guānxi。 mèngjìng tài zhēnshí le， tā zài xiàng wŏ ànshì… bàba yīzhí zài duì wŏ sāhuăng。＂ |

林医生端茶的手一颤， 茶水洒了一桌。 |
Dr. Lin’s hand trembled a little and spilled her tea on the table. |
|
lín yīshēng duān chá de shŏu yī chàn，
chá shuĭ să le yī zhuō。 |

“小吉，吃饭啦！＂罗致远脱下围裙， 往女儿的碗里夹了块炸鸡腿。 |
“Xiaoji, time to eat!” Lou Zhiyuan took off his apron and added a fried drumstick to his daughter’s bowl. |
|
“ xiăo jí， chīfàn la！＂ luó zhì yuăn tuōxià wéiqún，
wăng nǚ’ér de wăn lĭ jiā le kuài zhá jītuĭ。 |
|
|
女儿踩着拖鞋，从里屋走出来。 只是一剎那， 罗致远仿佛看见了“她”。 |
The girl stepped out from her bedroom in her slippers. In a flash second, Lou Zhiyuan had the illusion that it was actually “she” out there. |
|
nǚ’ér căi zhe tuōxié， cóng lĭ wū zŏu chūlái。
zhĭshì yī chànà， luó zhì yuăn făngfú kànjiàn le“ tā”。 |
|
| 他仔细端祥着女儿。 | He started studying her. |
| tā zĭxì duān xiáng zhe nǚ’ér。 | |
| “爸，你看我干嘛？＂小吉不满地问。 | “Dad, why are you staring at me?” Xiaoji asked, being upset. |
| “ bà， nĭ kàn wŏ gànmá？＂ xiăo jí bùmăn de wèn。 | |
| 十五岁的女儿最近好象有心事。 | The fifteen-year-old looked like in a gloomy mind lately. |
| shíwŭ suì de nǚ’ér zuìjìn hăoxiàng yŏuxīnshì。 | |
|
罗致远笑了笑， 心想，女儿大了， 脾气也大了。 |
Luo Zhiyuan brushed it off, accepting the fact that his daughter would get moodier while she’s growing older. |
|
luó zhì yuăn xiào le xiào， xīnxiăng， nǚ’ér dà le， píqi yě dà le。 |
|
|
“看你，快有爸爸高了。 来，尝尝我新学的炸鸡，味道怎么样？＂ |
“Look at you, you’re almost as tall as I am. Come have a taste of my new fried chicken, do you like it?” |
|
“ kàn nĭ， kuài yŏu bàba gāo le。 lái， cháng cháng wŏ xīn xué de zhájī， wèidao zěnmeyàng？＂ |
|
| 小吉懒懒地尝了一口，又放下筷子。 | Xiaoji took a bite carelessly, and then put down her chopsticks. |
| xiăo jí lăn lăn de cháng le yīkŏu， yòu fàngxia kuàizi。 | |
| “爸，妈到底是怎么死的？＂ | “Dad, how exactly did Mom die?” |
| “ bà， mā dăodĭ shì zěnme sĭ de？＂ | |

|
罗致远的笑容凝固了。 |
Lou Zhiyuan’s smile went frozen. |
| luó zhì yuăn de xiàoróng nínggù le。 | |
|
“小吉…怎么…又问这个问题？ 我已经跟你说过…＂ |
“Xiaoji … why do you bring this up again? I’ve told you …” |
|
“ xiăo jí… zěnme… yòu wèn zhège wèntí？ wŏ yĭjīng gēn nĭ shuō guò…＂ |
|
|
“你撒谎！妈妈不是病死的， 她是被人害死的！＂ |
“You lied! Mom didn’t die from a disease, she was murdered!” |
|
“ nĭ sāhuăng！ māma bùshì bìngsĭ de，
tā shì bèi rén hàisĭ de！＂ |
|
|
“你在胡说什么?！ ＂罗致远的心脏几乎停跳了几秒。 |
“What the heck you’re talking about?!” Lou Zhiyuan felt his heart stop pounding for a few seconds. |
|
“ nĭ zài húshuō shénme?！＂ luó zhì yuăn de xīnzàng jīhū tíng tiào le jĭ miăo。 |
|
|
“你一直在骗我， 你到底想隐瞒什么？ |
“You’ve been lying to me all the time, what is it that you’re hiding? |
|
“ nĭ yīzhí zài piàn wŏ， nĭ dàodĭ xiăng yĭnmán shénme？ |
|
|
为什么不敢把实情告诉我？ 妈妈死在地窖里， 而且是被人锁在里面的！＂ |
Why don’t you have the guts to tell me the truth? Mom died in the cellar, and she had been locked inside by others!” |
|
wéi shénme bù găn bă shíqíng gàosu wŏ？ māma sĭ zài dìjiào lĭ， érqiě shì bèi rén suŏ zài lĭ miàndī！＂ |
|
| 女儿用目光质问父亲。 | The girl directed a questioning gaze at her Dad. |
| nǚ’ér yòng mùguāng zhìwèn fùqīn。 | |
| 心锁 | 14 |
| 沉默。 | Silence. |
| chénmò。 | |
| 沉默之后还是沉默。 | Silence still. |
| chénmò zhīhòu háishi chénmò。 | |
|
女儿忿然起身，跑进自己的房间， 呯的一声关上了门。 |
Daughter jumped to her feet with anger and ran back to her room. The door was closed shut with a big Bang. |
|
nǚ’ér fèn rán qĭshēn， păo jìn zìjĭ de fángjiān，
píng de yīshēng guānshàng le mén。 |
|
|
餐桌旁剩下了罗致远， 和他精心制作的炸鸡。 |
Lou Zhiyuan was left alone beside the dinner table, |
|
cānzhuō páng shèngxià le luózhì yuăn， hé tā jīngxīn zhìzuò de zhájī。 |
|
|
那把他曾经用力砸开的锁， 再一次锁紧他的天空， 窒息的味道，呛得他湿润了双眼。 |
The lock that he had laboriously broke open once again sealed the sky. The taste of suffocation choked him to tears. |
|
nà bă tā céngjīng yònglì zá kāi de suŏ，
zàiyīcì suŏ jĭn tā de tiānkōng， zhìxī de wèidao， qiàng de tā shīrùn le shuāngyăn。 |
|
| 小吉，请原谅爸爸！ | Xiaoji, please forgive Dad. |
| xiăo jí， qĭng yuánliàng bàba！ |
