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 英文短篇小說《the blue jar》(Isak Dinesen的)中文翻譯。
英國一位富有的老先生,年輕時任過內閣大臣,也當選過議會議員;如今年紀大了,無欲無求,獨愛搜藏青瓷老古董。為此他偕同女兒海琳娜,不惜遠渡重洋到波斯,日本還有中國尋覓愛物。一個寂靜之夜,這對父女坐的輪船進入中國海域時意外失火了。漆黑和混亂之中,別的乘客很快轉移到救生船中,海琳娜卻還在著火的船上,就這樣與老父親斷了聯系。等她逃上甲板,整艘船已被燒毀得差不多了,眼看就要將她葬身火海。這時一位年輕的英國水手出現了,二話不說背起她,安全登上最後那隻被逃生者們慌亂之下遺忘的救生船。黑暗的海面泛起大片磷光,猶如大火從四面八方涌來,追趕吞噬著這兩個亡命者。彼時,二人仰起頭,一顆流星劃過夜空,好像瞬間就要落入他們船里一樣。整整九天過去,兩人才被救上一條荷蘭商船,最後總算回到了英國。
原以為女兒早已葬身火海的老爵士這會是喜極而泣,不能自已。為了讓身心受難的女兒盡早康復,老先生匆匆將她安頓在一個溫泉療養勝地。他還想到,萬一這個在航海業謀生的年輕水手大嘴巴,全世界都會知道海倫娜和一個陌生男人孤男寡女在海上漂了九天,這肯定會讓女兒很不開心。於是老爵士給了水手一大筆錢,並讓他承諾只在另一個半球繼續航海,永遠不再回英國。老先生說,這不正是好人做到底嗎?
海倫娜身體恢復得差不多時,旁人給她講王宮和家族的動態,最後還說了那個救她的年輕水手永遠離開英國的來龍去脈,他們發現海倫娜精神上依舊受那次大難折磨著,而且她變得對世間一切事都不在乎了。她不想回到父親大庄園的城堡,也不想去宮里,或游覽任何一個歐洲怡人小鎮。她唯一想要做的事就是和父親以前一樣,去搜集珍稀青瓷。於是海琳娜開始航海旅行,從一個國家到另一個國家,這次是父親一直陪在左右。
尋找青瓷時,海琳娜跟賣瓷器的人說,她正在找一種特別的藍色,願意為之付出任何代價。她買過數千隻青瓷罐和瓷碗,但過一段時間就擱到一旁,嘆道:「唉,這不是我想要的那種藍呢。」 陪她航行多年的父親勸道:也許根本就沒有這種顏色存在吧。「天啊,爸爸,你怎能說這種喪氣話呢?曾幾何時我們的世界一切都是藍藍的,肯定會有那麼一些遺留下來啊。」海琳娜十分堅定地說。
遠在英國的兩位姑媽都懇求外甥女回家,並要給她介紹好人家。但海琳娜回答說:「不不不,我必須去航行。親愛的姑姑啊,你們一定都知道,有學之士宣揚大海是有底的,那是謬論胡說。正好相反,大自然中最高貴的海水,肯定是貫通大地的,所以我們的地球實際上像一個肥皂泡般浮在宇宙之中。而在另一個半球有這么一艘船航行著,我的船必須跟它齊驅並駕。在深海之中,兩只船像是彼此的倒影。我乘的船正下方就是前面所說的那艘船,它就在地球的另一面行駛著。你們從沒見過會有一條很大很大的魚在船底之下,如一個暗黑的影子在海里隨船而行吧。但我們這兩艘船恰恰就是這樣,不管我坐的船在地球大部分區域穿行到哪,另一個半球那隻船就像影子一樣,被牽引著來回移動,這和潮水在月亮的引力下漲起退去是差不多的道理。如果我停止航行,那些靠航海謀生的出身不好的水手怎麼辦?」 海琳娜還說:「我得告訴你們一個秘密,在最後的最後,我坐的船會下沉,直到地球中心,另一隻船也會在同一時間沉下來,就如通常人們說的沉沒。但我可以向你們保證,在海里沒有你上我下,因為在世界的最中心,我們兩只船會相遇在一起。
一年又一年過去,老爵士作古了,海倫娜也變成失聰的老太太,卻未曾停止航行。大清帝國的頤和園被入侵洗劫後,有位商人給她帶來了一個古老的青瓷罐。一看到它海琳娜就發出一聲可怕的尖叫:「就是它!」她哭喊著:「我總算找到了!這是真正的藍!瞧,它真讓人暈眩!天啊,它清新得像一陣柔美的微風,又深邃得好如一個玄妙的秘密,還圓潤得像我說過的什麼來著?」海琳娜雙手顫顫巍巍,將瓷罐捧入懷里,靜靜凝思著,六個小時就這么過去了。其後她對私人醫生和女伴說:「現在我可以死去了。到時請把我的心取出來,安放在這個青瓷罐里,那樣一切都回到最初的模樣。我的世界會化作藍色,在這個純藍天地的最中心,我的心純潔而自由,還會溫柔地跳動,像輪船航海的尾波輕輕哼唱,像槳葉劃動的水滴盈盈滑落。」一小會兒後她問到:「相信只要懷著耐心,一切美好都能重現——這不是一件很杏糊的事嗎?」 不久之後,老太太離開了人世。
