而后，我挪了把椅子面朝她坐在床邊，握住她那只沒被固定的手，此時(shí)我又一次注意到她細(xì)長(zhǎng)的手指。很優(yōu)雅。一時(shí)間，我突然想知道她是否有家庭，接著我發(fā)現(xiàn)病房里沒有花，沒有孩子們畫的彩虹和蝴蝶，也沒有卡片。房間中沒有任何跡象表明她是一個(gè)被人愛著的人。她似乎讀懂了我的心思，平靜地回答我說：“今天……我讓……家里人……都……回家……不想……他們……看見……”她耗盡了最后的那點(diǎn)力氣，再也說不下去了。但我已然明白她做了些什么。我不知道說什么好，所以什么也沒說。她好像又看穿了我的心思：“你……留下……”backtranslationWordPara7

時(shí)間似乎停滯了。在一片寂靜中，我感覺自己的脈搏加快了，我聽到自己的呼吸開始伴隨著她那不均勻的呼吸一起一落。我們互相對(duì)視，不知怎么的，我們都意識(shí)到，這是兩個(gè)生命間的一個(gè)特殊時(shí)刻。她那細(xì)長(zhǎng)的手指很輕易地就攏住了我的手，我微笑著慢慢點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭。無需任何語(yǔ)言，我從她發(fā)黃的眼睛中感受到了她對(duì)我的謝意，她慢慢閉上了眼睛。backtranslationWordPara8aSomeunknownintervaloftimepassesbeforehereyesopenagain,onlythistimethereisnoresponseinthem,justablankstare.Withoutwarning,hershallowbreathingstops,andwithinafewmoments,thefaintpulseisalsogone.Onesingletearflowsfromherlefteye,acrossthecheekanddownontothepillow.Ibegintocryquietly.Thereisaswellofemotionwithinmeforthisstrangerwhosoquicklycameintoandwentfrommylife.Hersufferingisdone,yetsoisthelife.listening不知過了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，她又睜開了雙眼，只是這一次目光里沒有任何反應(yīng)，只有空洞的凝視。沒有一點(diǎn)先兆，她那細(xì)弱的呼吸停止了。很快，微弱的脈搏也消失了。一顆淚珠從她的左眼中流出，滑過臉頰，落在枕上。我開始輕聲哭泣。對(duì)這位迅速走進(jìn)又走出我生活的陌生人，我心間涌起了一股感情。她的痛苦結(jié)束了，可她的生命也結(jié)束了。backtranslationwordsPara8b
