Chapter 1
第一章

The air hostess smiled. 'Welcome aboard, sir. Would you like a newspaper?'

空中小姐微笑着招呼道：“欢迎乘坐本次航班，先生。请问您想来份报纸吗？”

Yes, please.' Carl took the newspaper and looked at his ticket. 'I'm in seat 5F. Where's that?'

“好，来一份吧。”卡尔一边接过报纸，一边看着他的票，“我的座位号是5F，请问在哪儿？”

It's near the front of the plane, sir. On the left, there. By the window.'

“在飞机的前部，先生。在左边，就在那里，靠近窗户的位置。”

I see. Thank you very much.' Carl smiled back at the air hostess. She was young and pretty. Just like my daughter, he thought.

“我知道了，非常感谢。”卡尔也微笑着跟空中小姐说。她又年轻又漂亮。她真像我女儿，卡尔心想。

He put his bag under his seat and sat down. His friend Harald sat beside him. They watched the other passengers coming onto the plane. Harald looked at his watch.

他把随身携带的包放在座位底下，然后在自己的位子上坐了下来。他的朋友哈拉尔德就坐在他的旁边。他们看着其他的乘客一一登上了飞机。哈拉尔德看了看手表。

9.30 p. m.,' he said. 'Good. We're on time.'

“晚上9点半，”他说，“很好。我们会准时起飞的。”

Carl agreed. 'And in three hours we'll be home,' he said. 'That's good. We've been away for a long time. You'll be pleased to see your family, won't you, Harald?'

卡尔表示同意。“再过三个小时，我们就到家了，”他说，“这真是太好了。我们已经离家很久了。哈拉尔德，见到家人你会很高兴的，对吧？”

Harald smiled. 'Yes, I will. Have you seen this, sir?' He opened his bag and took out two small planes. 'These are for my sons. I always bring something back for them.'

哈拉尔德微笑着。“是的，我会很高兴。先生，你见过这个东西吗？”他打开提包，从里面取出了两架小飞机，“这是给我的儿子买的。我每次都给他们带些小玩意儿回去。”

How old are your sons?' Carl asked.

“你儿子多大了？”卡尔问。

Five and almost seven. The older one has a birthday tomorrow.'

“一个五岁，一个快七岁了。大儿子明天过生日。”

He'll be very excited tonight then.'

“那他今天晚上一定特别兴奋。”

Yes. I hope he gets some sleep.'

“肯定的。但愿他能睡会儿觉。”

The plane took off. Carl watched the lights of the airport grow smaller below them. Then the plane flew above the clouds and he could see the moon and the stars in the night sky. He lay back in his seat and closed his eyes.

飞机起飞了。卡尔看着机场的灯在他们的下面越变越小。然后飞机飞到了云层上面，他能看见夜空中的星星和月亮。他靠在座位上，闭上了双眼。
