还有更便宜的 他们介绍给我 但我拒绝了
There was one less expensive, which they showed me, and I refused it.
你意思是松木棺
You mean a pine box?
我不记得那是什么了

她有偿还一半的钱

自从我上次写信给你 我的妻子海伦 你的养母
Since I last wrote to you, my wife, Helen, your foster mother…
突然因为脑部血凝结而过世了
…passed away very suddenly from a blood clot in her brain.
善后仪式已经弄妥了
The services were lovely and very well attended.
吉尼和她朋友从丹佛来看我
Jeannie came in from Denver with her friend…
得梅因和维奇塔的亲属们都大老远地驱车过来
…and folks drove up from as far away as Des Moines and Wichita.
无论如何 你能读这封信 我也感到感动
It was a very moving tribute any way you look at it.
多希望那一刻你也在那儿
I wish you could’ve been there.
但现在 那激动的一刻已经过去了 消失得毫无烟迹
But now that all the excitement is over and the smoke has cleared…
只剩下我和我的思念 在这空旷的大屋子里游荡
…it’s just me and my thoughts knocking around in this big old house.
我相信我在上一封信提到过 我曾是个保险业务员
I believe I mentioned in my previous letter that I was an actuary…
在世界最大的保险公♥司♥乌德门
…at Woodmen of the World Insurance Company.
如果我知道一个人的年龄 种族 职业
If I’m given a man’s age, race, profession…
居住环境 婚姻状况 和病史
…place of residence, marital status, and medical history…
我能极大程度地计算出 那个人会生存多久

但在我自己的情况 而我的妻子现在却死了
In my own case, now that my wife has died…
我有73%的可能在九年内死去
…there is a 73 percent chance that I will die within nine years…
如果我不再婚的話

这是一个机会 一对三 反手击球得分
Here’s an opportunity, one on three. A backhand shot, and score!
我所知道的就是
All I know is…
我要把我余生的事情做到最好
…I’ve got to make the best of whatever time I have left.
生命是短暂的 杜古
Life is short, Ndugu.
我不可以浪费任何一分钟
And I can’t afford to waste another minute.
没什么比得上但你高兴的时候 洗上一个热水澡
Well, there’s nothing like a hot bath when you’re happy.
只要你和应该在一起的人在一起
As long as you’re with the right person.
我非常爱你
I love you so much.
我也爱你
I love you too.
我甚至喜欢那样说
I love being able to say that.
现在我也不想骗你
Now, I don’t wanna kid you.
没有海伦的日子对我来说是个挑战
Adjusting to life without Helen has been quite a challenge.
但我想你会为我自豪
But I think you’d be proud of me.
是的 这房♥子要重新整理
Yep, this house is under new management…
但你肯定不知道哪里不同
…but you’d never know the difference.
当然 有时我也会像个健忘的孩子 偶尔也有一两次失手
Oh, sure, sometimes I can be a tad forgetful and miss a meal or two…
但我想 从我的角度来说 是不必向某些人提起的
…but, heh, I guess that’s hardly worth mentioning to someone in your situation.
海伦不希望我老是坐着
Helen wouldn’t want me sitting around, wallowing in self-pity.
就像是个昏沉的可怜虫–鲍勃先生
No sirree, Bob.
她叫我站起来 或者出去走走
Why, she’d tell me to shape up or ship out.
所以我尝试尽可能地出去走走
So I try to get out as much as I can.
尝试保持活力 每天都坚持
You know, try to stay active, stick to my routine.
那是生命中所面临的重要的巨大改变
That’s very important in the face of big changes in life.
当然 我没有海伦那么会烹饪
Oh, sure, um, I’m not quite the cook Helen was.
但我也记得我单身时候的一两门手艺
But I remember a trick or two from my bachelor days.
维持一个家是要干很多的事情的
It’s a lot of work keeping a household together…
嗯 我想我最后会卖♥♥了这个地方 搬去小公♥寓♥住
…and I suppose eventually I’ll sell the place and move to a little condo.
维修费更少 维持更久
You know, less upkeep and so forth.
但眼下 我的受益还不错
But for now, I’m getting by just fine.
这使我想到我的最后一封信 我可能会拼错字或者会用一些消极的言语
It occurred to me that in my last letter, I might’ve misspoken…
提及我的故妻
…and used some negative language in reference to my late wife.
但你必须明白
But you have to understand…
在我退休以后 我承受了很大的压力
…that I was under a lot of pressure following my retirement.
我不想骗你 杜古
I’m not going to lie to you, Ndugu.
我只是大概地描述未来的日子
It’s been a rough few weeks.
我会过得不错的
And I’ve been pretty…
你知道 有时我会崩溃
…you know, broken up from time to time.
我想念她
I miss her.
我想念我的海伦
I miss my Helen.
