剪刀
文／余途

　　我拿着剪子敲开邻居家的门，开门的女子和我以前见到的不是一个人。
　　你找谁？
　　我来还剪子。
　　我们家没有这样的剪子。
　　我是从你们家借的，很久了。
　　她搬走了。
　　搬哪儿去了？
　　不知道。
　　那这把剪子怎么还呀？
　　非得还呀?
　　剪子不能放在我这儿。
　　我活动着剪子把，她看着我手里的剪子。
　　那放我这吧。
　　我把剪子递给她。
　　过了很多日子，她又把剪子还我，告诉我剪子的主人说剪子不要了。
　　我关上门，身后留着她的声音：“剪子是她先生送她的，他们分开了，剪子没用了。”


The Scissors
By Yu Tu
        I knocked at the neighbor’s door, taking a pair of scissors. But the woman wasn’t the one I had seen before.
        What can I do for you?
        Excuse me, I want to return the scissors to you.
      Sorry, I didn’t have such pair of scissors.
        But I borrowed them from you and I kept them for a long time.
       Well, she has moved away.
      Really? Do you know where she lives now ?
       Sorry , I don’t know.
      Oh, my God. How can I return the scissors to her?
       Do you have to do that?
       Yes. And I don’t want to keep it any longer.
       I played with the pair of scissors. The woman looked at them, lost in thought.
       Well. I am willing to keep it for you.
       I handed her the scissors.
       Many days later, she returned the scissors to me, telling me that the owner of the scissors didn’t want to get them back.
       I closed the door. Outside, she said, “The scissors are the present which her husband sent her. They divorced, so the scissors have no value.”
