I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying
groceries. I wasn't hungry.
The pain of losing my husband of 57 years was still too raw.
And this grocery store held so many sweet memories.
我走進雜貨店,並不是想購買雜貨。我並不餓。57歲失去我的丈夫,那疼痛還是
深重。
而這雜貨店給了我這麼多甜蜜的回憶。
He often came with me and almost every time he'd pretend to go off and
look for something special. I knew what he was up to. I'd always spot
him walking down the aisle with the three yellow roses in his hands.
他經常來和我一起來,幾乎每一次他假裝離開,去尋找一些特別的東西。我知道
他找什麼。
我總是發現他走在過道,手中拿著三個黃玫瑰。
He knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart filled with grief, I only
wanted to buy my few items and leave, but even grocery shopping was
different since he had passed on.
他知道我喜歡黃玫瑰。因為心裡滿了悲傷,我只想買我幾樣東西,然後離開。但
是自他死後,就是連東西也不一樣了。
Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for two
.
Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and
remembered how he had loved his steak.
為一人購物比為兩人多花些時間,多一點思考......我站在肉攤前,尋找完美的
小牛排,想起他如何愛吃那牛排。
Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was blonde, slim and lovely in a
soft green pantsuit.
I watched as she picked up a large package of T-bones, dropped them in
her basket.. hesitated, and then put them back... She turned to go
and once again reached for the pack of steaks.
突然,一個女人走到我的身邊。她是金髮,苗條可愛,穿著柔和的綠色褲裝。
我看著她拿起一大包的T-骨頭,放入籃子裡......猶豫了一下,然後又把它們放
回去......她轉過身去,並再次拿起那包牛排。
She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but
honestly, at these prices, I don't know."
她見我看著她,她笑了。「我丈夫愛吃T排骨,但說實話,這些價格,我付不出
。」
I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes.
我的喉嚨嚥下了情感,並看著她那淡藍色的眼睛。
"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. Glancing at the
package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my voice.
"Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together."
「我的丈夫八天前去世,」我告訴她。看了一下她的手提包,我極力地控制我顫
抖的聲音。
「給他買牛排吧。並珍惜你和他在一起的每一刻。」
She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes as she placed the
package in her basket and wheeled away.
她搖搖頭,我看見她眼睛中的情感,她把那包東西放在籃子裡,然後推走。
I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the
dairy products.
There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I should buy. A Quart,
I finally decided and moved on to the ice cream.
If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice cream cone.
我轉身把我購物車推到商店盡頭的乳製品部。
我站在那裡,打算決定應該買大罐還是小罐的牛奶。一夸脫,我終於決定了。
走向賣冰淇淋的地方。
如果沒有別的因素,我決心為自己買一個蛋捲冰淇淋。
I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward the
front.
I saw first the green suit, then recognized the pretty lady coming
towards me.
我把冰淇淋放在購物車,低頭向前方的過道看去。
我首先看到穿著綠色西裝的人,然後認出那是一位漂亮的小姐向我走來。
In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile
I had ever seen.
I would swear a soft halo encircled her blonde hair as she kept
walking toward me, her eyes holding mine.
在她的懷裡,攜帶著一個包包。在她的臉上,是我見過的最燦爛的笑容。
當她向我走來的時候,我確實覺得有一個軟的光環包圍著她的金髮,她的眼睛爍
爍發光。
As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears began misting in my
eyes.
"These are for you," she said and placed three beautiful long stemmed
yellow roses in my arms.
"When you go through the line, they will know these are paid for."
當她走近時,我看見她手上拿的,眼淚使我的眼睛模糊起來。
「這是給你的是,」她說著,把三個漂亮的長梗黃玫瑰放置在我的手裡。
「當你通過動線時,他們就會知道這些東西已經替你付款了。」
