As I walked into the hall, I could hear Chris say, "Good night, Kate," and her returning voice, "Good night, Chris," while the space of an entire room separated their two beds. I had been off duty two days and when I returned, the first news I heard was, "Chris died yesterday morning." "How?" "A heart attack. It happened quickly." "How's Kate?" "Bad." I went into Kate's room. She sat in her chair, motionless, hands in her lap, staring. Taking her hands in mine, I said, "Kate, it's Phyllis." Her eyes never shifted; she only stared. I placed my hand under her chin and slowly turned her head so she had to look at me. "Kate, I just found out about Chris, I'm so sorry." At the word"Chris". her eyes came back to life. She looked at me, puzzled, as though wondering how I suddenly appeared. "Kate, it's me, Phyllis, I'm so sorry about Chris."
当我走到过道上的时候，我能听见克里斯说：“晚安，凯特”以及她回答的声音“晚安，克里斯；”他们的两张床在房间的两边，中间隔着整个房间。 我有两天休班，当我回来时，我听到的第一个消息是：“克里斯昨天上午去世了。” “怎么回事？” “心脏病，突发。” “凯特怎么样？” “不好。” 我走进凯特的房间。她坐在椅子上，一动不动，手放在膝上，目光呆滞。我握着她的双手说，“凯特，我是菲丽丝。” 她的眼睛一动不动，只是呆呆地瞪着。我用手托着她的下巴，让她慢慢转过头来，好让她看着我。 “凯特，我刚刚得知克里斯的事。我很难过。” 听到“克里斯”这个词，她的眼睛重现生机。她看看我，迷惑不解，好像正奇怪我是怎么突然出现的。“凯特，是我，菲丽丝。我对于克里斯的死真的很难过。” ——译文来自: bx3214740
