爱情如半夜的汽笛 （双语）

女孩问男孩：“你喜欢我喜欢到什么程度?”

Girl asked the boy: "do you like me to like to what extent?"

少年想了想，用沉静的声音说：“半夜汽笛那个程度。”

The young thought, with a quiet voice said: "the midnight whistle."

少女默默地等待下文---里面肯定有什么故事。

The young girl silently waiting for the below --- there must be some stories.

“一次，半夜突然醒来。”他开始讲述，“确切时间不清楚，大约两三点吧，也就那个时间。什么时候并不重要，总之是夜深时分，我完完全全孤单一人，身边谁也没有。

"Once, suddenly wake up in the middle of the night." He began to talk, "the exact time is not clear, about two or three points, it is the time. What time is not important, it is late at night, I am completely alone, no one around.

请你想象一下：四下漆黑一片，什么也看不见，什么也听不见，就连时钟声都听不见，也可能钟停了。我忽然觉得自己正被隔离开来，远离自己认识的人，远离自己熟悉的场所，远得无法置信。

Please imagine: four under the black one, what also can't see, what also can't hear, even when the bell can't hear, also may stop. I suddenly feel that they are being isolated, away from their understanding of people, away from their familiar place, far from being unable to believe.

在这广大世界上不为任何人爱，不为任何人理解，不为任何人记起---我发现自己成了这样的存在。即使我就这么消失不见，也没有人察觉。那种心情，简直就像被塞进厚铁箱沉入深海底。由于气压的关系，心脏开始痛，痛得像要咔哧咔哧裂成两半。这滋味你可知道?”

In this world, not for anyone to love, not for anyone to understand, not for anyone to remember --- I found myself to be such a presence. Even if I disappear, no one is aware of. That kind of mood, it is like to be tucked into a thick iron box to the deep seabed. Because of pressure, heart pain, pain like to click kraaa rip split in two. You know it?"

少女点点头。想必她是知道的。

Girl nodded. Surely she knows.

少年继续说道：“这大概是人活着的过程中所能体验到的最难以忍受的一种感觉。又伤心又难受，恨不得直接死掉算了。不不，不是这样，不是死掉算了，而是假如放在那里不管，就真的死掉了，因为铁箱里的空气越来越稀薄了。这可不是什么比喻，是真的。

"This is probably the most intolerable feeling in the process of being alive," said the boy. Sad and hard, I hate to die directly. Not so, not so, not dead, but if you put in there anyway, it is really dead, because the air in the iron box is getting thinner and thinner. This is no metaphor, it's true.

这也就是深夜里孤单单醒来的含义。这你也明白?”

That is the meaning of the night in the night to wake up alone. You understand that?"

少女再次默默点头。少年停了一会儿。

The girl again silently nod. The boy paused for a moment.

“不过当时听见很远很远的地方有汽笛声，非常非常遥远。到底什么地方有铁路呢?莫名其妙。总之就那么远。声音若有若无，但我知道那是火车的汽笛声，肯定是。

"But the siren was heard far away, very far away. In the end what is the railway?. In short, so far. Not much, if any sound, but I know it is the train whistle, certainly.

黑暗中我竖耳细听，于是又一次听到了汽笛声。很快，我的心脏不再痛了，时针开始走动，铁箱朝海面慢慢浮升。而这都是因为那微弱的汽笛声的关系。

In the dark I strained his ears, and once again hear the siren. Soon, my heart is no longer painful, and the beginning of the hand, the iron box slowly float to the surface of the sea. This is because of the faint whistle.

汽笛声的确微弱，听见没听见都分不清，而我就像爱那汽笛一样爱你。”

Steam whistle really weak, heard hear are not clear, and I just love the siren love you."

少年的短小故事至此结束。这回少女开始讲她自己的故事。

The short story of the young so far. This time the girl began to tell her story.
