目光所及之处
Everywhere you look there are people from around the globe, going back and forth for phones and showers,Come from Away · 2021 — 第 15 / 22 章 · 3'08" · B2
主街的加油站里,顾客和店员忽然全都不动了,才明白:It's a national moment of silence in America(这是美国全国默哀的时刻)。同一晚,有人带旅客去教堂 light a candle(点一支蜡烛),图书馆也开放成 a quiet place(安静的地方),让大家祷告。想学描写静默、哀悼和善意,这段很动人。
主街加油站的咖啡买了一半,整间店忽然安静下来,连外面的人也不动——原来美国正在举行全国默哀,这些纽芬兰人也一起静默着。贝拉带汉娜去教堂,为当消防员的儿子 light a candle(点一支蜡烛);唱起一首老圣歌,也让人心里有了点安稳。镇上有位几乎住了一辈子的老人,听说有拉比改降到这里,come to find(特地来找)他,只为说出藏了多年的秘密:他其实是犹太人。另一边,一位穆斯林说,只有在晨礼时才敢安心祷告。图书馆开放成 a quiet place(安静的地方),谁想找点安宁都能来。想学默哀、信仰和倾诉的英语,这段很感人。
