Lesson 49 The end of a dream美夢告終
Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.
參考譯文
德黑蘭的一個年輕人由於對睡地板感到厭倦,於是積蓄多年買了一張真正的牀。他平生第一次自豪地擁有了一張既有彈簧又帶牀墊的'牀。由於天氣很熱,他便把牀搬到了他的屋頂上。頭兩天晚上,他睡得非常好。但第三天晚上起了風暴。一陣大風把牀從屋頂上颳了下來,把它摔碎在下面的院子裏。那年輕人直到牀撞到地上才醒了過來。儘管牀摔成了碎片,但年輕人卻奇蹟地沒有受傷。他醒來時,仍然躺在牀墊上。年輕人看了一眼周圍的碎木片和碎金屬片,傷心地撿起了牀墊,把它拿進了屋。他把牀墊往地板上一放,很快又睡着了。
