―Yeah dear, why don’t you take Nicole with you, she could be helpful.‖

Tanya didn’t feel comfortable having a company at that time but she didn’t want to change Mike’s curiosity into suspicion so she said OK.

All the way to the City Center, Nicole kept telling her of all the stuff her friends had and what she wanted to buy in response. Tanya wasn’t listening. She was just nodding her head in approval of whatever Nicole said. She couldn’t possibly have said a word. Her heart was rumbling(发出隆隆声)like a volcano, hitting the rib cage(胸腔)trying to get out to take a look at its long lost love.

The sun was hurrying down now. She was afraid of getting late so she speeded up a little.

―Mom! Aren’t we supposed to go to the City Center?‖ Nicole asked seeing her turning to a different street.

―Yes dear but I have to take care of something important before we go shopping, all right?‖ She said.

―All right.‖ It was OK for Nicole as long as it didn’t alter their shopping plan.

The bridge was getting closer and so was logic. Sanity(理智)had started penetrating her enthusiasm. The question of ―how should I do it?‖ turned into ―why should I do it?‖ The eclipse of her memories had started declining. She could see the bridge now. She stopped the car a hundred yards away from the bridge.

―Honey! You stay in the car, I’11 be back in a few minutes.‖ She said to Nicole without a slight touch of emotions. She didn’t wait for her answer, stepped out of the car in a mechanical way and started walking towards the bridge.

Larry was standing on the corner of the bridge, with his back to her. He was looking down the bridge into the running water. She walked for a few yards and then stopped. Larry turned his face towards her. Age seemed to have worn him out. He looked tired as if he had traveled a huge span of years. His presence sent no waves of fresh air to clean her heart from the mist of dissatisfaction. He disappointed her again. She hoped to find a ray of hope and he damped down her hope. She looked back towards the car and her daughter. ―I have lost too much。I don’t want to lose my ten years.‖ She decided and turned back. Larry ran after her but she had reached her car. Larry called her with a passionate cry, ―Tanya!‖ She opened the door and sat in. Larry stopped abruptly with shock in his eyes. Tanya turned the ear back.

―You are my wish, Tanya!‖ Larry murmured. She stepped on the car. Larry saw her going into the sunset.

―Who was he, mommy?‖Nicole couldn’t catch any idea out of it.

―He was a nobody, my dear.‖

Tanya kept driving into the sunset.

Unit 4 Big Tom………………………………………………55

大个子汤姆

我至今怀念与同事大个子汤姆一起的时光，他身体强壮却从不盛气凌人，有时候冒出的奇特想法让人莫名其妙却又无法拒绝。然而，一次随意的决定使他遭受了生命危险……

Of all the males in our company’s dormitory, I felt the most affection for Tom. He was a genius, I thought, but the other guys took him for a nut. He came from far away, and at first had a strong Spanish accent. Now, after a year with the company, he spoke English very well. But his English accent had an exaggerated precision that the other guys didn’t like. In the crude environment of the dormitory, Tom’s accent seemed artificial. But he was a big man, a giant, and strong as an ox, and the others feared him and left him alone.
