The arrivals hall was packed. 接机大厅里挤满了人。

Hundreds of people behind the barrier, holding signs and flowers and coffee. 护栏后头站着好几百号人,手里拿着接机牌、鲜花,还有咖啡。

Taxi drivers. 有出租车司机。

Families. 有一家子一家子的。

A man with balloons. 还有个拿着气球的男人。

I came through the doors, tired after eleven hours on a plane, 我穿过自动门走出来,坐了十一个小时的飞机,累得不行,

pushing a cart that wanted to go left. 推着的那辆行李车老是自己往左偏。

I wasn't looking for his face. 我并没打算从人脸里去找他。

Faces are hard to find in a crowd. 人堆里找脸太难了。

From far away, they all look the same. 隔远了看,长得都差不多。

I was looking for a coat. 我找的是一件大衣。

Gray wool, a little too long, 灰色的羊毛大衣,稍微长了点,

with one button that doesn't match the others, 上面有一颗扣子跟别的不一样,

because I sewed it on myself. 因为那是我亲手给他缝上去的。

He's had that coat for nine years. 那件大衣他穿了九年了。

I've told him to buy a new one. 我总劝他买件新的。

He never does. 但他从来不听。

And there it was. 然后,我就看到它了。

Third row, near the pillar. 在第三排,靠柱子的地方。

Then the coat started pushing through the crowd toward me, 接着,那件大衣就开始穿过人群朝我挤过来,

and above it, finally, I saw his face. 在大衣上方,我终于看到了他的脸。

I don't tell him to replace it anymore. 打那以后,我再没叫他换过大衣。
