背影(下)
My Father’s Back
朱自清
Zhu Ziqing
我們過了江，進(jìn)了車站。我買票，他忙著照看行李。行李太多了，得向腳夫行些小費(fèi)，才可過去。他便又忙著和他們講價(jià)錢。我那時(shí)真是聰明過分，總覺他說話不大漂亮，非自己插嘴不可，但他終于講定了價(jià)錢;就送我上車。他給我揀定了靠車門的一張椅子;我將他給我做的`紫毛大衣鋪好座位。他囑我路上小心，夜里要警醒些，不要受涼。又囑托茶房好好照應(yīng)我。我心里暗笑他的迂;他們只認(rèn)得錢，托他們只是白托!而且我這樣大年紀(jì)的人，難道還不能料理自己么?唉，我現(xiàn)在想想，那時(shí)真是太聰明了!
We crossed the Yangtze and arrived at the station, where I bought a ticket while he saw to my luggage. This was so bulky that we had to hire a porter, and father started bargaining over the price. I was such a bright young man that I thought some of his remarks undignified, and butted in myself. But eventually he got them to agree to a price, and saw me on to the train, choosing me a seat by the door, on which I spread the black sheepskin coat he had made for me. He warned me to be on my guard during the journey, and to take care at night not to catch cold. Then he urged the attendant to keep an eye on me, while I laughed up my sleeve at him – all such men understood was money! And wasn’t I old enough to look after myself? Ah, thinking back, what a bright young man I was!
我說道，“爸爸，你走吧。”他往車外看了看，說，“我買幾個(gè)橘子去。你就在此地，不要走動(dòng)。”我看那邊月臺(tái)的柵欄外有幾個(gè)賣東西的等著顧客。走到那邊月臺(tái)，須穿過鐵道，須跳下去又爬上去。父親是一個(gè)胖子，走過去自然要費(fèi)事些。我本來要去的，他不肯，只好讓他去。我看見他戴著黑布小帽，穿著黑布大馬褂，深青布棉袍，蹣跚地走到鐵道邊，慢慢探身下去，尚不大難。可是他穿過鐵道，要爬上那邊月臺(tái)，就不容易了。他用兩手攀著上面，兩腳再向上縮;他肥胖的身子向左微傾，顯出努力的樣子。這時(shí)我看見他的背影，我的淚很快地流下來了。我趕緊拭干了淚，怕他看見，也怕別人看見。我再向外看時(shí)，他已抱了朱紅的桔子往回走了。過鐵道時(shí)，他先將桔子散放在地上，自己慢慢爬下，再抱起桔子走。到這邊時(shí)，我趕緊去攙他。他和我走到車上，將桔子一股腦兒放在我的皮大衣上。于是撲撲衣上的泥土，心里很輕松似的。過一會(huì)兒說，“我走了，到那邊來信!”我望著他走出去。他走了幾步，回過頭看見我，說，“進(jìn)去吧，里邊沒人。”等他的背影混入來來往往的人里，再找不著了，我便進(jìn)來坐下，我的眼淚又來了。
“Don’t wait, father,” I said.
He looked out of the window.
“I’ll just buy you a few tangerines,” he said. “Wait here, and don’t wander off.”
Just outside the station were some vendors. To reach them he had to cross the lines, which involved jumping down from the platform and clambering up again. As my father is a stout man this was naturally not easy for him. But when I volunteered to go instead he would not hear of it. So I watched him in his black cloth cap and jacket and dark blue cotton-padded gown, as he waddled to the tracks and climbed slowly down – not so difficult after all. But when he had crossed the lines he had trouble clambering up the other side. He clutched the platform with both hands and tried to heave his legs up, straining to the left. At the sight of his burly back tears started to my eyes, but I wiped them hastily so that neither he nor anyone else might see them. When next I looked out he was on his way back with some ruddy tangerines. He put these on the platform before climbing slowly down to cross the lines, which he did after picking the fruit up. When he reached my side I was there to help him up. We boarded the train together and he plumped the tangerines down on my coat. Then he brushed the dust from his clothes, as if that was a weight off his mind.
“I’ll be going now, son,” he said presently. “Write to me once you get there.”
I watched him walk away. After a few steps he turned back to look at me.
“Go on in!” he called. “There’s no one in the compartment.”
When his back disappeared among the bustling crowd I went in and sat down, and my eyes were wet again.
近幾年來，父親和我都是東奔西走，家中光景是一日不如一日。他少年出外謀生，獨(dú)立支持，做了許多大事。哪知老境卻如此頹唐!他觸目傷懷，自然情不能自已。情郁于中，自然要發(fā)之于外;家庭瑣屑便往往觸他之怒。他待我漸漸不同往日。但最近兩年的不見，他終于忘卻我的不好，只是惦記著我，惦記著我的兒子。我北來后，他寫了一信給我，信中說道，“我身體平安，惟膀子疼痛利害，舉箸提筆，諸多不便，大約大去之期不遠(yuǎn)矣。”我讀到此處，在晶瑩的淚光中，又看見那肥胖的，青布棉袍，黑布馬褂的背影。唉!我不知何時(shí)再能與他相見!
The last few years father and I have been moving from place to place, while things have been going from bad to worse at home. When he left his family as a young man to look for a living, he succeeded in supporting himself and did extremely well. No one could have foreseen such a come-down in his old age! The thought of this naturally depressed him, and as he had to vent his irritation somehow, he often lost his temper over trifles. That was why his manner towards me had gradually changed. But during these last two years of separation he has forgotten my faults and simply wants to see me and my son. After I came north he wrote to me:
“My health is all right, only my arm aches so badly I find it hard to hold the pen. Probably the end is not far away.”
