Chapter 18: Leaving Home Again
第十八章:再次离开
Finally, we were leaving.
终于,我们要离开了。
Mother and I sat in the car, watching the old house getting farther and farther away. In my heart, I was filled with reluctance to part. This is my home, the place where I grew up, but now, I have to leave it.
母亲和我坐在汽车上,看着老屋越来越远。我的心里,充满了不舍。这是我的家,是我成长的地方,但是现在,我要离开它了。
The villagers stood by the roadside, waving to us. I waved to them, watching their figures gradually disappear.
乡亲们站在路边,向我们挥手。我向他们挥手,看着他们的身影渐渐消失。
Run Tu was there too, standing at the very back, silently watching me. I waved to him, and he waved to me too. His eyes were filled with complex emotions.
闰土也在那里,他站在最后面,默默地看着我。我向他挥手,他也向我挥手。他的眼神里,充满了复杂的情绪。
The car drove faster and faster, the old house disappeared, the villagers disappeared, Run Tu disappeared too. I only saw the road ahead, saw the future ahead.
汽车开得越来越快,老屋不见了,乡亲们不见了,闰土也不见了。我只看到前面的路,看到前面的未来。
I was going to the city to start a new life. But I would always remember this place, remember these villagers, remember Run Tu.
我要去城里,开始新的生活。但是,我会永远记住这个地方,记住这些乡亲,记住闰土。
