We'd been driving for four hours with the windows closed 我们关着车窗开了四个小时的车，

and the air conditioning on. 空调也一直开着。

The car smelled like the car. 车里全是一股车子本身的味道。

Then the road dropped into a valley, 接着路面下坡，开进了一个山谷，

and the trees closed over us like a roof. 两旁的树像屋顶一样在我们头顶合拢。

It had just rained. 那里刚下过雨。

I turned off the air conditioning and opened my window. 我关掉空调，摇下了车窗。

The smell came in all at once. 那股味道一下子涌了进来。

Wet earth. 湿润的泥土味。

Wet leaves. 湿漉漉的树叶味。

Something green and cold and very old. 还有一种绿意盎然、带着凉意又极其古老的气息。

I breathed in so deeply that my chest hurt. 我深吸了一口气，胸口都吸得发疼。

There's a word for it, the smell of rain on dry ground. 有个专门的词，用来形容雨水落在干燥地面上的气味。

I can never remember the word. 但我怎么也想不起那个词了。

My body remembers the smell. 可我的身体记得这种味道。

For four hours, I'd been moving through the world behind glass, 整整四个小时，我都隔着玻璃穿行在这个世界里，

like watching it on a screen. 就像在屏幕上看它一样。

It turns out the world has a smell. 原来，这个世界是有气味的。

You just have to open the window. 你只需要打开车窗。
