失忆
文/迟占勇 赵金基译

　　男人在前面走着，东张西望，看啥都新鲜，像个孩子。
　　女人默默地跟在后面，没想到，一个小小的车祸，竟让丈夫失去了记忆！做朋友的大夫说，要靠家人帮助，慢慢能恢复的。
　　女人轻轻地叹了口气，那件事儿，只能往后推一推了……
　　男人走走停停，似乎是无意间，他走进了街心公园，来到了一棵大杨树下，这是公园里最大的杨树了。“这是杨树吧？还有这么大的杨树啊？”男人仰头努力向上瞅着。“这是二十多年的杨树了啊，你忘了？咱们在这儿可没少坐过啊……”女人说到这儿，心里一热，想起与丈夫在这里谈恋爱的日子，那时的丈夫，年轻，帅气，知道疼人……
　　“看啊，这树上还有字呢。”男人好奇地抚摸着树干上那几个刀刻的大字。
　　“永远”，这是当年与丈夫一同刻上去的啊，还能永远吗？
　　女人的眼泪流了下来。看着丈夫可怜的样子，不停地想起他的好来，若是后来他不赌博不酗酒，该有多好？
　　“看啊，还有瓜棚呢。”男人指着不远处喊道，“去看看吧。”
　　女人又想起小时候，与男人一起，在瓜棚下许愿的情景，那天是七夕，据说在瓜棚下，能听见牛郎织女哭诉衷肠呢。
　　哎呀，今天不是七夕吗？女人忽然想起什么，他疑惑地看了看男人，偷偷地笑了。
　　男人也笑了：“再许个愿吧？”
　　“你没失忆！”女人淡淡地说。
　　“我失忆了！我把以前的我完全忘记了！我要重新开始，老婆，给我个机会！”
　　女人哭了，两人紧紧地搂抱在一起，瓜棚下，凉阴正浓……
　　女人偷偷地掏出那张离婚协议书，悄悄地攥成一个纸团，扔到了草丛里……

　　Memory
　　by Chi Zhanyong

　　He walked on like a child, gazing around with his fresh eyes.
　　She followed him, quietly. Even now, she wouldn’t believe the fact that he had lost his memory in the car accident. And the doctor had said, with her help he might gradually return to normal.
　　“Then what shall I do?”she sighed to herself.
　　He kept walking and walking. Leisurely and unconsciously. Finally, he entered the central park, and stopped under a poplar tree, the tallest one in the park.
　　“This is a poplar tree, isn’t it? It’s awesome, indeed!”he looked upward.
　　“It’s been growing here more than twenty years. We used to sit here.”she was reminded of those good old days when he was young, handsome and considerate.
　　“Look, there is inscription.”he touched the characters carved in the trunk.
　　“For ever. We carved that.” her tears streamed. How could it be for ever? Oh, poor guy! If only he hadn’t been drinking and gambling!
　　“Look at the shed over there.”he shouted, “Let’s go.”
　　It was the shed where they had made their oaths, where they had listened to the Cowherd and the Girl Weaver express their love on Double-Seventh Day.
　　Suddenly, there was a flash of light in her mind. She looked at him in doubt.
　　“You haven’t lost your memory, have you?”she asked, distantly.
　　“Yes, I have. I’v left all my past behind. I’ll start a new life. Shall we make our oaths again, darling?”
　　Tearfully, they held each other in the cool shade of the shed. And the Divorce Agreement was stealthily torn into pieces.
