TheSightofFather’sBack背影

ZhuZiqing朱自清（张培基译）

Reading2

AfterarrivinghomeinYangzhou,fatherpaidoffdebtsbysellingorpawningthings.Healsoborrowedmoneytomeetthefuneralexpenses.Betweengrandma’sfuneralandfather’sunemployment,ourfamilywastheninreducedcircumstances.Afterthefuneralwasover,fatherwastogotoNanjingtolookforajobandIwastoreturntoBeijingtostudy,sowestartedouttogether.回家变卖典质，父亲还了亏空；又借了钱办了丧事。这些日子，家中光景很是惨淡，一半为了丧事，一半为了父亲的赋闲。丧事完毕，父亲要到南京谋事，我也要回到北京念书，我们便同行。

IspentthefirstdayinNanjingstrollingaboutwithsomefriendsattheirinvitation,andwasferryingacrosstheYangtseRivertoPukouthenextmorningandthencetakingatrainforBeijingontheafternoonofthesameday.Fathersaidhewastoobusytogoandseemeoffattherailwaystation,butwouldaskahotelwaiterthatheknewtoaccompanymethereinstead.Heurgedthewaiteragainandagaintotakegoodcareofme,butstilldidnotquitetrusthim.Hehesitatedforquiteawhileaboutwhattodo.Asamatteroffact,nothingwouldmatteratallbecauseIwasthentwentyandhadalreadytravelledonBeijing—PukouRailwayacoupleoftimes.Aftersomewavering,hefinallydecidedthathehimselfwouldaccompanymetothestation.Irepeatedlytriedtotalkhimoutofit,butheonlysaid,“Nevermind!Itwon’tdototrustguyslikethosehotelboys!”到南京时，有朋友约去游逛，勾留了一日；第二日上午便须渡江到浦口，下午上车北去。父亲因为事忙，本已说定不送我，叫旅馆里一个熟识的茶房陪我同去。他再三嘱咐茶房，甚是仔细。但他终于不放心，怕茶房不妥贴，颇踌躇了一会。其实那年我已二十岁，北京来往过两三次，是没有甚么要紧的了。他踌躇了一会，终于决定还是自己送我去。我两三回劝他不必去；他只说，“不要紧，他们去不好!”

WeenteredtherailwaystationaftercrossingtheRiver.WhileIwasatthebookingofficebuyingaticket,fathersawtomyluggage.Therewasquiteabitofluggageandhehadtobargainwiththeporteroverthefee.IwasthensuchasmartaleckthatIfrowneduponthewayfatherwashagglingandwasonthevergeofchippinginafewwordswhenthebargainwasfinallyclinched.Gettingonthetrainwithme,hepickedmeaseatclosetothecarriagedoor.Ispreadontheseatthebrownishfur-linedovercoathehadgottailormadeforme.Hetoldmetobewatchfulonthewayandbecarefulnottocatchcoldatnight.Healsoaskedthetrainattendantstotakegoodcareofme.Isniggeredatfatherforbeingsoimpractical,foritwasutterlyuselesstoentrustmetothoseattendants,whocaredfornothingbutmoney.Besides,itwascertainlynoproblemforapersonofmyagetolookafterhimself.Oh,whenIcometothinkofit,IcanseehowsmartyIwasinthosedays!我们过了江，进了车站。我买票，他忙着照看行李。行李太多了，得向脚夫行些小费，才可过去。他便又忙着和他们讲价钱。我那时真是聪明过分，总觉得他说话不大漂亮，非得自己插嘴不可。但他终于讲定了价钱；就送我上车。他给我拣定了靠车门的一张椅子；我将他给我做的紫毛大衣铺好坐位。他嘱我路上小心，夜里要警醒些，不要受凉。又嘱托茶房好好照应我。我心里暗笑他的迂；他们只认得钱，托他们只是白托!而且我这样大年纪的人，难道还不能料理自己么？唉，我现在想想，那时真是太聪明了!
