Appointment With Love --By Sulamith Ish-Kishor
Six minutes to six, said the great round clock over the information booth in Grand Central Station. The tall young Army lieutenant who had just come from the direction of the tracks lifted his sunburned face, and his eyes narrowed to note the exact time. His heart was pounding with a beat that shocked him because he could not control it. In six minutes, he would see the woman who had filled such a special place in his life for the past 13 months, the woman he had never seen, yet whose written words had been with him and sustained him unfailingly.
He placed himself as close as he could to the information booth, just beyond the ring of people besieging the clerks...
Lieutenant Blandford remembered one night in particular, the worst of the fighting, when his plane had been caught in the midst of a pack of Zeros. He had seen the grinning face of one of the enemy pilots.
In one of his letters, he had confessed to her that he often felt fear, and only a few days before this battle, he had received her answer: "Of course you fear...all brave men do. Didn't King David know fear? That's why he wrote the 23rd Psalm. Next time you doubt yourself, I want you to hear my voice reciting to you: 'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me.'" And he had remembered; he had heard her imagined voice, and it had renewed his strength and skill.
Now he was going to hear her real voice. Four minutes to six. His face grew sharp.
Under the immense, starred roof, people were walking fast, like threads of color being woven into a gray web. A girl passed close to him, and Lieutenant Blandford started. She was wearing a red flower in her suit lapel, but it was a crimson sweet pea, not the little red rose they had agreed upon. Besides, this girl was too young, about 18, whereas Hollis Meynell had frankly told him she was 30. "Well, what of it?" he had answered. "I'm 32." He was 29.
His mind went back to that book - the book the Lord Himself must have put into his hands out of the hundreds of Army library books sent to the Florida training camp. Of Human Bondage, it was; and throughout the book were notes in a woman's writing. He had always hated that writing-in habit, but these remarks were different. He had never believed that a woman could see into a man's heart so tenderly, so understandingly. Her name was on the bookplate: Hollis Meynell. He had got hold of a New York City telephone book and found her address. He had written, she had answered. Next day he had been shipped out, but they had gone on writing.
For 13 months, she had faithfully replied, and more than replied. When his letters did not arrive she wrote anyway, and now he believed he loved her, and she loved him.
But she had refused all his pleas to send him her photograph. That seemed rather bad, of course. But she had explained: "If your feeling for me has any reality, any honest basis, what I look like won't matter. Suppose I'm beautiful. I'd always be haunted by the feeling that you had been taking a chance on just that, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I'm plain (and you must admit that this is more likely). Then I'd always fear that you were going on writing to me only because you were lonely and had no one else. No, don't ask for my picture. When you come to New York, you shall see me and then you shall make your decision. Remember, both of us are free to stop or to go on after that - whichever we choose..."
One minute to six - Lieutenant Blandford's heart leaped higher than his plane had ever done.
A young woman was coming toward him. Her figure was long and slim; her blond hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were blue as flowers, her lips and chin had a gentle firmness. In her pale green suit, she was like springtime come alive.
He started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was wearing no rose, and as he moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips.
"Going my way, soldier?" she murmured.
Uncontrollably, he made one step closer to her. Then he saw Hollis Meynell.
She was standing almost directly behind the girl, a woman well past 40, her graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump; her thick-ankled feet were thrust into low-heeled shoes. But she wore a red rose in the rumpled lapel of her brown coat.
The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away.
Blandford felt as though he were being split in two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl, yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and upheld his own; and there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible; he could see that now. Her gray eyes had a warm, kindly twinkle.
Lieutenant Blandford did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the small worn, blue leather of Of Human Bondage, which was to identify him to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even rarer than love - a friendship for which he had been and must ever be grateful.
He squared his broad shoulders, saluted and held the book out toward the woman, although even while he spoke he felt shocked by the bitterness of his disappointment.
"I'm Lieutenant John Blandford, and you - you are Miss Meynell. I'm so glad you could meet me. May...may I take you to dinner?"
The woman's face broadened in a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is all about, son," she answered. "That young lady in the green suit - the one who just went by - begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said that if you asked me to go out with you, I should tell you that she's waiting for you in that big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of a test. I've got two boys with Uncle Sam myself, so I didn't mind to oblige you."

㈦ 英文短篇小说《the blue jar》(Isak Dinesen的)中文翻译。
英国一位富有的老先生,年轻时任过内阁大臣,也当选过议会议员;如今年纪大了,无欲无求,独爱搜藏青瓷老古董。为此他偕同女儿海琳娜,不惜远渡重洋到波斯,日本还有中国寻觅爱物。一个寂静之夜,这对父女坐的轮船进入中国海域时意外失火了。漆黑和混乱之中,别的乘客很快转移到救生船中,海琳娜却还在着火的船上,就这样与老父亲断了联系。等她逃上甲板,整艘船已被烧毁得差不多了,眼看就要将她葬身火海。这时一位年轻的英国水手出现了,二话不说背起她,安全登上最后那只被逃生者们慌乱之下遗忘的救生船。黑暗的海面泛起大片磷光,犹如大火从四面八方涌来,追赶吞噬着这两个亡命者。彼时,二人仰起头,一颗流星划过夜空,好像瞬间就要落入他们船里一样。整整九天过去,两人才被救上一条荷兰商船,最后总算回到了英国。
原以为女儿早已葬身火海的老爵士这会是喜极而泣,不能自已。为了让身心受难的女儿尽早康复,老先生匆匆将她安顿在一个温泉疗养胜地。他还想到,万一这个在航海业谋生的年轻水手大嘴巴,全世界都会知道海伦娜和一个陌生男人孤男寡女在海上漂了九天,这肯定会让女儿很不开心。于是老爵士给了水手一大笔钱,并让他承诺只在另一个半球继续航海,永远不再回英国。老先生说,这不正是好人做到底吗?
海伦娜身体恢复得差不多时,旁人给她讲王宫和家族的动态,最后还说了那个救她的年轻水手永远离开英国的来龙去脉,他们发现海伦娜精神上依旧受那次大难折磨着,而且她变得对世间一切事都不在乎了。她不想回到父亲大庄园的城堡,也不想去宫里,或游览任何一个欧洲怡人小镇。她唯一想要做的事就是和父亲以前一样,去搜集珍稀青瓷。于是海琳娜开始航海旅行,从一个国家到另一个国家,这次是父亲一直陪在左右。
寻找青瓷时,海琳娜跟卖瓷器的人说,她正在找一种特别的蓝色,愿意为之付出任何代价。她买过数千只青瓷罐和瓷碗,但过一段时间就搁到一旁,叹道:“唉,这不是我想要的那种蓝呢。” 陪她航行多年的父亲劝道:也许根本就没有这种颜色存在吧。“天啊,爸爸,你怎能说这种丧气话呢?曾几何时我们的世界一切都是蓝蓝的,肯定会有那么一些遗留下来啊。”海琳娜十分坚定地说。
远在英国的两位姑妈都恳求外甥女回家,并要给她介绍好人家。但海琳娜回答说:“不不不,我必须去航行。亲爱的姑姑啊,你们一定都知道,有学之士宣扬大海是有底的,那是谬论胡说。正好相反,大自然中最高贵的海水,肯定是贯通大地的,所以我们的地球实际上像一个肥皂泡般浮在宇宙之中。而在另一个半球有这么一艘船航行着,我的船必须跟它齐驱并驾。在深海之中,两只船像是彼此的倒影。我乘的船正下方就是前面所说的那艘船,它就在地球的另一面行驶着。你们从没见过会有一条很大很大的鱼在船底之下,如一个暗黑的影子在海里随船而行吧。但我们这两艘船恰恰就是这样,不管我坐的船在地球大部分区域穿行到哪,另一个半球那只船就像影子一样,被牵引着来回移动,这和潮水在月亮的引力下涨起退去是差不多的道理。如果我停止航行,那些靠航海谋生的出身不好的水手怎么办?” 海琳娜还说:“我得告诉你们一个秘密,在最后的最后,我坐的船会下沉,直到地球中心,另一只船也会在同一时间沉下来,就如通常人们说的沉没。但我可以向你们保证,在海里没有你上我下,因为在世界的最中心,我们两只船会相遇在一起。
一年又一年过去,老爵士作古了,海伦娜也变成失聪的老太太,却未曾停止航行。大清帝国的颐和园被入侵洗劫后,有位商人给她带来了一个古老的青瓷罐。一看到它海琳娜就发出一声可怕的尖叫:“就是它!”她哭喊着:“我总算找到了!这是真正的蓝!瞧,它真让人晕眩!天啊,它清新得像一阵柔美的微风,又深邃得好如一个玄妙的秘密,还圆润得像我说过的什么来着?”海琳娜双手颤颤巍巍,将瓷罐捧入怀里,静静凝思着,六个小时就这么过去了。其后她对私人医生和女伴说:“现在我可以死去了。到时请把我的心取出来,安放在这个青瓷罐里,那样一切都回到最初的模样。我的世界会化作蓝色,在这个纯蓝天地的最中心,我的心纯洁而自由,还会温柔地跳动,像轮船航海的尾波轻轻哼唱,像桨叶划动的水滴盈盈滑落。”一小会儿后她问到:“相信只要怀着耐心,一切美好都能重现——这不是一件很杏糊的事吗?” 不久之后,老太太离开了人世。
