2、, and no constructs other than our fantasies.We were good rls, my sister and We had nothing to rebel against.This was just life as we knew it, and we knew the summers to be long and to be ours.在我们还是小女孩的时候，夏天是我们的，那时，我们家住在田纳西 河畔。在那些永无尽头、一天天彼此交融的潮湿夏日里，我们撒了野地跑着。我 们在长长的日子中放任着自己，没有学校的管束、没有规那么的羁绊、没有父母的 训诫、

3、没有既定的观念，只有属于我们自己的梦幻。我和姐姐，我们都是好女孩， 那些日子里没有什么需要我们去对抗和反叛的。这就是我们所知的生活，我们知 道夏日正长，而且是属于我们的。 The road that ran past our house was a one-lane rural route.Every monung, after our parents had gone to work, Id wait for the mail lady to pull up to our bo.Some days I would put enough change for a few sts into a

4、mason jar lid and I eave it in the mailbo.I hated bothering mail lady with this transaction, whh made her job take longer.But I liked that she knew that someone in our house sent letters into the outside world.我家门前的那条路是一条单车道的乡间小路。每天早上父母上班以后， 我会等着女邮差把车停在我们的信箱跟前。有时候，我会在大口玻璃瓶的瓶盖里 放上够买几张邮票的零钱，再把它放在信箱里面。

5、我讨厌为这样的交易去费事女 邮差，这会延长她的工作时间。但我喜欢让她知道我们家里也有人寄信到外面的 世界。 I liked walking to the mailbo in my bare feet and leaving footprints on the dewy grass.I imaned that feeling the wetness on the bottom of my feet made me a poet.I had never read poetry, outside of some Emily Dkinson.But I imaned that people who k

6、new of such things would walk to their mailboes through the moming dew in their bare feet.我喜欢赤足走向我家的信箱，在沾着露水的草地上留下脚印。我想像 着，足底湿漉漉的感觉使我成了一个诗人。除了艾米莉狄金森的一些作品外， 我其实从不读诗。但是我想，懂得这类东西的人定会赤足踏着晨露走向他们的 信箱。We planned our weddings with the help of Barbie dolls and the tiny purple wildflowers grog in our side yar

7、d.We became scientists and tested concochons of milk, orange jue, and mouthwash.We ate handfuls of bittersweet chocolate chips and lked peanut butter off spoons.When we ran out of sweets to eat, we snitched sugary Flintstones vitamins out of the medine cabi.We became masters of the Kraftt macaroni a

8、nd checse lunch, and we dutifully called our mother at work three times a day to ve her updates on our adventures.But dont call too often or speak too loudly or whine too much, we told ourselves, or else theyll get annoyed and shell get fired and the summers will end.我们用芭比娃娃和旁边小花园里紫色的小野花来筹办我们的婚礼游 戏。

9、我们是尝试将牛奶、橙汁和漱口水混合在一起的科学家。我们吃光一把又一 把甜中带苦的巧克力片，并把勺子上的花生酱舔得干干净净。糖果吃完了，我们 就从药箱里偷拿有甜味的弗林斯通复合维生素。我们成了用卡夫通心面和干酪烹 制午餐的专家，并尽职尽责地每天给正在上班的妈妈打3个 汇报我们的最新 情况。但是，我们告诫自己：不要打太多 ，不要说得太大声，也不要在 里过多地诉苦，要不然他们就会生气，妈妈就会被辞退，美妙的夏日也就完毕了。 We shaped our days the way we chose, far from the prying eyes of adults.We found our dads

10、 Playboys and charged the neighborhood boys money to look at them.We made crank calls around the county, telling people they had won a new car.What kind theyd ask.Red, wed always say.We put on our moms old prom dresses, plete with gloves and hats, and sang backup to the C.W.McCall song convoy, whh w

11、ed found on our dads turntable.远离大人们窥视的目光，我们按自己选择的方式安排着生活。我们找 出了爸爸的(花花公子)杂志，让邻家的男孩们付费观看。我们给全县各地的人 打神秘 ，对他们说他们赢得了一辆新车。“什么样的”他们会问。而我们总是 答复：“红的。”我们穿上妈妈在班级舞会上穿的旧礼服，配上手套和帽子，并伴 唱着在爸爸的唱机上找到的麦考尔的护卫队这首歌。 We went on hikes into the woods behind our house, crawling under barbed wire fences and through tangled u

12、ndergrowth.Heat and humidity found their way through the leaves to our flushed faces.We waded in streams that we were always surprised to e across.We walked past cars and auto parts that had been abandoned in the woods, far from any road.Wed reach the tree line and e out unepectedly into a cow pastu

13、re.Wed perch on the gate or stretch out on the large flat limestone out crop that marked the end of the Woods Behind Our House.One day a thunderstorm blew up along the Tennessee River.It was one of those storms that make the day go dark and the humidity disear.First it was still and quiet.There was

14、electrity in the air and then the sharp crispness of a summer day being blown wide open as the ds rushed in.We threw open all the doors and dows.We found the classal radio station from two towns away and tumed up the bass and cranked up the speakers.We let the d blow in and churn our summer day arou

15、nd.We let the mus we were only vaguely familiar with roar through the house.And wetwirled.We twirled in the living room, in the d and in the mus.We twirled and we imaned that we were poets and dancers and scientists and spring brides.我们到屋后的树林里远足，从带刺的铁丝篱墙下爬过，穿过缠绕纠结 的灌木丛。热气和湿气透过树叶的罅隙扑上我们绯红的脸颊。每次我们总是会意

16、 外地遇到溪流，于是我们就在其中涉水而行。我们走过被丢弃在远离大路的林中 的轿车和汽车部件。我们会直走到树林边上，结果意外地走进一个奶牛场。我 们会倚坐在门上休息，或者摊开四肢躺在露出地面的又大又平的石灰岩上。这些 岩石标志着“屋后树林”的尽头。有一天，田纳西河沿岸出现了暴风雨。这样的暴 风雨让天空变得阴沉起来，同时也驱走了湿气。刚开始，一切宁静又安详。一会 儿功夫， 空气中孕含着电流，乍起的风把夏日的清爽吹得豁然大开。我们敞开 所有的门窗，把收音机调到两个镇子之外的古典音乐台，加重低音并把音量开得 大大的。我们让风吹进来，让它肆意搅动着我们的夏日。我们让似曾相熟的音乐 在屋子里轰鸣，我们那么

17、在一边随着音乐飞快地旋转。在客厅中、在风中、在音乐 里，我们飞旋着，想象自己是诗人、是舞者、是科学家、是春天里的新娘。 We twirled and imaned that if we could let everything the thunder, the storm, the d , the world-into that house in the banks of the Tennessee River, we could live in our summer dreams forever.When we were rls.我们飞旋着，想象要是能让一切雷声、暴风雨、狂风以致整个世 界旋人田纳西河畔的那座房子，我们就能永远活在我们的夏日之梦里。那时， 我们还是小女孩。第 4 页 共 4 页
