　　Grandpa's Bee

　　祖父的蜜蜂

　　A long time before I was born, my Grandma and Grandpa moved into the house on Beechwood Avenue. They had a young family of 4 little girls. The little girls slept in the attic in a big feather bed. It was cold there on winter night. Grandma put hot bricks under the covers at the foot of the bed to keep the little girls warm.

　　早在我出生以前，爺爺和奶奶搬到比奇烏大道位。他們膝下養(yǎng)有四個小女兒。女孩們睡在閣樓的一張大羽毛床上。那里冬夜寒冷。奶奶得在床腳下墊熱磚給女兒們?nèi)∨?/p>

　　During the Great Depre5sion, work was hard to find, so Grandpa did

　　whatever jobs he could. He dug ditches during the week and on weekend he and Grandma dug a garden lo grow some of their own food.

　　大蕭條時期，工作很難找，爺爺什么苦工都做。在平時他，挖溝渠，周末和奶奶在花園里挖挖鋤鋤，種點自己的糧食。

　　The house on Beechwood Avenue had a big front yard with shade trees and fruit trees. In the middle of the yard was a water pump where the four little girls pumped water for cooking, cleaning and watering the garden. On one side of the yard, Grandma and Grandpa planted tomatoes, beans, squash, cucumbers, peppers and strawberries to feed their growing family. They planted roses, lilacs and irises on the other side of the yard, around the statue of the Blessed Mother.

　　比奇烏大道的房子有個大前院，院子里種著濃蔭遮蔽的大樹和果樹。院中央的是個水泵，小女孩們就在這里泵水用來做飯、打掃衛(wèi)生、灌溉花園。奶奶和爺爺在院子的一邊種上番茄、豆子、南瓜、黃瓜、辣椒和草莓，供應(yīng)這個大家庭的食用。在另一邊，他們圍著圣母的雕像種了玫瑰、丁香和蝴蝶花。

　　Everybody worked to keep the garden growing. All summer long, the family ate food from the garden and enjoyed the beautiful flowers. Grandma put up strawberry jam，tomatoes, beans, peppers, pears and peaches in canning jam. They were good to eat through the long winter.

　　人人都辛勤地耕種花園，使它更加茂盛。整個夏天，我們一家人吃著花園種出的食物，欣賞著花園里的美麗花朵。奶奶還把做好的草莓醬、番茄、豆子、辣椒、梨子和桃子裝進罐子里，使它們的美味能保持一整個漫長的冬天。

　　The family grew up, and before too many years had passed, the grandchildren came to visit. Grandma and Grandpa still planted their garden every spring. Everyone still enjoyed the good food from the garden and always took some home.

　　多年過去，孩子們長大，孫子孫女們也來到了世上。奶奶和爺爺仍然每年春天都耕種花園。人人都能分享花園種出的好東西，也總能帶上一些回家里。

　　Grandchildren grow up, and grandparents grow older. It became harder for Grandma and Grandpa to keep up the garden. So they made it a little smaller. There was still plenty to eat from the garden and lovely flowers to enjoy.

　　孫子孫女們長大了，爺爺、奶奶年邁古稀。維護花園花去他們更多的精力，所以他們縮小了些花園的面積。但里面種出來的食物還足夠吃，花朵也還招人喜愛。

　　Then one summer when Grandpa was eighty-nine years old, all he could do was watch from his lawn chair as the vegetables grew and the roses bloomed. Summer slowly faded, and Grandpa died before it was time to bring in the harvest.

　　等到爺爺八十九歲的那個夏天，他只能坐在草地的椅子上，看蔬菜長大，玫瑰開花。夏日漸漸消逝，爺爺在豐收前就去世了。

　　It was a lonely winter for Grandma She sat near the window, looking out at the yard and wondering if she could plant the garden in the spring. It would be hard to care for it by herself. When spring came, she planted only a little garden.

　　對奶奶來說，這是個寂寞的冬天。她坐在窗邊，望著外邊的院子，考慮著來年春天還能不能耕種花園。只靠她自己來打理太難了些。當(dāng)春天來到時，她只稍微種了一點。

　　One sunny day in the early summer, Grandma heard a commotion in the front yard and looked out the window to see a frightening sight a gigantic swarm of bees filled the air between two tall trees. There was thousands of bees in the air, so many that the swarm reached the tree-lops! The buzzing sound was tremendous. Grandma watched as the bees made their way into a hole up in one of the trees. Before long, every one of those bees had disappeared into its new home.

　　初夏的一天，陽光燦爛，奶奶聽到前院傳來一陣騷動聲，她看出窗外，看到可怕的一幕。兩棵大樹上滿滿綴著大團的蜜鋒?？罩羞€飛舞著成千上萬只，多不勝數(shù)的蜂群一直排到樹梢上!嗡嗡聲不絕于耳。奶奶看見這些蜜蜂先后鉆進一棵樹上高高的樹洞中。很快，所有的蜜蜂都搬進新家，消失了。

　　Grandma wondered what in the world she could do. Should she hire someone to get rid of bees? That would cost more than she could afford. She decided to wait and think it over.

　　奶奶不禁發(fā)愁起來。她是否該請人清走這些蜜蜂呢?但是她，根本支付不起費用。于是她決定等一等，再想想辦法。

　　During the next few days, the bees were busy making. their own business. Grandma could always see a few bees buzzing in and out around the opening high in the tree. Before long, she decided the bees won't bother anyone, so she went about her business and didn't give them any other thought.

　　隨后幾天，蜜蜂忙碌個不停。奶奶總能看到有一些蜂兒從高高的樹洞里嗡嗡地飛進飛出。不久，她看出蜜蜂并無妨礙，于是自顧自地干活，不再理會它們。

　　That summer, Grandma's little garden grew and grew. The neighbors would stop to admire the huge crop of vegetables and puzzle over their own gardens weren't doing well. No matter, because Grandma had enough give some away. Of course, everyone who came to visit was treated to a meal of good things from the garden.

　　那年夏天，奶奶的小花國碩采累累。鄰居們都駐足羨慕里面生長出豐盛的蔬菜，納悶怎么自己花園的長勢就沒有這么喜人。沒關(guān)系，因為奶奶有好多可以送人。登門來訪的人當(dāng)然都有花園里的美味來招待。

　　One day, Grandma's brother Frank visited from Arizona. As Grandma made Frank a delicious lunch of squash pan cakes and home made apple sauce, she told him the story about the swarm of bees.

　　一天，奶奶的弟弟法蘭克從亞利桑那州前來拜訪。奶奶給他做了一頓香噴噴的午飯，有南瓜餅，有自制的蘋果醬，她還把蜜蜂的故事告訴了法蘭克。

　　Frank said, "in Arizona, the farmers often hired beekeepers to set up beehives near their fields. The bees pollinated the crops and helped them to grow."

　　法蘭克說在亞利桑那，農(nóng)夫們常常雇請養(yǎng)緣人在農(nóng)田附近搭蜂箱。蜜蜂校粉有助于莊稼成長。

　　That was when Grandma realized at her bees had helped with her garden all summer.

　　"奶奶才意識到，原來是這些蜜鋒在夏季助成了花園的豐收。"

　　"So that's why my little garden had such a big crop! " she exclaimed. From that time on, Grandma always believed that since Grandpa couldn't be there to help her that summer, he had sent the bees to take his place and make Grandma's little garden grow and grow...

　　所以我的斗小、花園才有了大豐收!從那時開始，奶奶便相信是因為爺爺那年夏天沒能親自幫她，才派了蜜給到這里，讓奶奶的小花園欣欣向榮。

　　Years ago, when I was working as a psychologist at a children's institution in England, an adolescent boy showed up in the waiting room, it was David.

　　許多年前，我是英國一所兒童機構(gòu)的心理醫(yī)生，有一天，一個十幾歲的男孩出現(xiàn)在候診室，他叫大衛(wèi)。

　　David wore a black raincoat that was buttoned all the way up to his neck. His face was pale, and he stared at his feet while wringing his hands nervously. He had lost his father as an infant, and had lived together with his mother and grandfather ever since. But when David turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. He was very depressed， refusing to talk to others.

　　大衛(wèi)穿著一件黑色的雨衣，扣子一直扣到脖頸。他臉色蒼白，眼睛緊盯著自己的雙腳，同時還緊張地揉搓著雙手。大衛(wèi)很小的時候就失去了父親，一直同母親和祖父生活在一起。在13歲那年的時候，他的祖父去世了，母親也在一次車禍中喪生。他情緒低落，不跟任何人說話。

　　The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat in the chair and only looked up at the children's drawings on the wall. As he was about to leave after the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn't shrink back, but he didn't look at me either.

　　在我們頭兩次見面時大衛(wèi)一句話也沒說。他坐在椅子上，抬起頭時也只是看著我身后墻上孩子們畫的畫。他第二次來后，在他將要離開的時候，我將手放在他的肩上，他沒有退縮著躲開，也沒有看我一眼。

　　"Come back next week," I hesitated a bit. Then I said, "I know it hurts."

　　"如果愿意，下周還來吧。"我猶豫了一下說我知道你很難過。"

　　He came, and I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon

　　in complete silence and without making any eye contact. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit that I made sure David won once or twice.

　　他的確來了，我提議兩人下象棋，他點頭同意了。之后，我們每周三下午下棋——但都不說話，他也從不和我對視。下棋時作弊并不容易，不過我得承認，我的確有意讓大衛(wèi)贏過一兩次。

　　It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering." I kept wondering and playing with him, until some months later, suddenly, he looked up at me, "It's your turn," he said.

　　看上去他，很喜歡和我在一起，但是為什么他從不看我眼呢?"也許他只是需要有人為他分擔(dān)痛苦我想也許他覺得我尊重他的苦楚。"與他下棋時我一直帶著這樣的疑問，直到幾個月后，突然，大衛(wèi)抬頭看著我，說道該你了。"

　　After that day, David started talking He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, after that the letters stopped. Now he had really started to live his own life.

　　自那天起，大衛(wèi)開始說話了。他在學(xué)校里有了朋友，并加入了一個自行車俱樂部。他給我寫過幾次信，在那之后，他就不再寫信了?，F(xiàn)在他已經(jīng)真正開始了自己的生活。

　　Maybe I gave David something. At least I learned a lot from him. I learned how time makes it possible to overcome what seems to be an insuperable pain. I learned to be there for people who need me. And David showed me how one - without any words - can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on，a friendly touch, a sympathetic nature - and an ear that listens.

　　也許我給予過大衛(wèi)某種東西，至少我從他，那里學(xué)到了很多。我懂得了時間如何使人克服看上去無法逾越的痛苦，我學(xué)會了幫助需要我?guī)椭娜?。大衛(wèi)還使我明白，一個人怎樣才能不通過語言而去幫助他人。所需的只是一個擁抱，一個痛哭時可以依依的肩頭，一次友好撫慰，一種同情的本性，以及一雙聆聽的耳朵。
