55、我的健康。我想把目光挪开，因为我一副病容、枯瘦如柴，又穿着破烂肮脏的衣服，被一个陌生人这样打量，我感到特别害臊，但我的目光却无法从她的眼睛移开。,返回,Para. 3 这时她把手伸进口袋，掏出一个红苹果。噢，我有多久没有看到这样的苹果了！它又是多么地闪闪发亮比任何水晶都耀眼！她非常谨慎地左右看看，然后一下子把它抛过铁栅栏。我把它捡起来，用我冻僵的手捧着它。在这充满死亡的世界中，这苹果无疑代表了生命，而她的举动就是爱的果实。我抬头瞥见那女孩在远处渐渐消失。,返回,Para. 4 第二天，就像被磁力吸引一样，我又来到了铁丝网边的那块地方。我希望她再次出现。我是不是疯了？当然是。但在这里，我不放弃任

57、。如果我转身，我知道，她会看见我的脸颊上滑落的眼泪。,返回,Para. 8 岁月流逝。转眼到了1957年。我住在纽约，生活状况与纳粹德国期间的情景相差何止天地。我做铝栅栏安装和回收的生意，并且发了点小财。我一个做保险的朋友劝说我与他的一位女性朋友相亲。我勉强同意了。她人还不错，叫罗玛，像我一样，她也是移民，因此至少在这一点上我们有共同之处。,返回,Para. 9 “你是在战争期间流亡来到这里的吗？”罗玛用移民相互之间问及那段岁月时所特有的体贴方式柔声细语地问道。Para. 10 “不是。那时我在德国的集中营里，”我答道。我没有说明哪个集中营，也没有说其他任何细节。这个故事太乏味了，因为我已经重

58、复过许多次了。,返回,Para. 11 罗玛的双眼透出若有所思的神色，好像回忆起了某件痛苦而又甜蜜的事情。 Para. 12 “你怎么了？”我问她。 Para. 13 “是这样，我小时候住在集中营附近。那儿有一个男孩，一个小囚犯，有很长一段时间我每天都去看他。我记得我常常带苹果去扔给他。我把苹果从铁丝网上扔过去，那时他会非常开心。”,返回,Para. 14 我的心猛地一下子剧烈地跳动起来。我凝视着她问：“是不是那个男孩有一天对你说明天别给我带苹果了。我将被押往另外一个集中营？” Para. 15 “没错，是啊，”罗玛用颤抖的声音应道。“但你怎么会知道的？” Para. 16 我从桌边站起身来，拥抱着她说：“因为我就是那个小男孩，
