My father took me to school on his bicycle. 我爸以前总是骑着自行车送我上学。

It was black and heavy, 那辆车又黑又沉，

and the seat on the back was a metal 后座就是个铁架子，

rack with a folded towel on it. 上面垫了条叠好的毛巾。

"Hold on," he said, every morning. “抓紧了，”每天早上他都会这么说。

So I put my arms around his waist 于是我就搂着他的腰，

and my cheek against his back. 脸贴在他的后背上。

From there, I couldn't see the road. 坐在那儿，我是看不到前方的路的。

I could only see his blue jacket, 我只能看到他那件蓝色的外套，

and feel it move as he pedaled. 随着他蹬车的动作一动一动的。

On the hills, he breathed harder. 遇到上坡时，他的喘气声就重了。

On the way down, 下坡的时候，

the wind came around both sides of him, but never touched me. 风从他身体两侧吹过去，却一点儿也吹不到我。

I thought his back was the widest thing in the world. 那时候我觉得，他的后背是世界上最宽阔的依靠。

Nothing could get past it. 没有什么能穿透它。

Last year, I walked behind him at the airport. 去年在机场，我走在他身后。

He looked smaller. 他看起来身形变小了。

His shoulders were thin under his coat. 大衣下面的肩膀显得那么单薄。

I took his bag. 我接过了他的包。

It was my turn to go in front. 轮到我走在前面了。
