It was two in the morning, 凌晨两点,

somewhere on the highway, with three hours still to go. 在高速公路的某个地方,离目的地还有三个小时的车程。

I pulled into a gas station, the only light for miles. 我把车拐进一家加油站,那是方圆几里内唯一的光亮。

Inside, a young man was reading behind the counter. 店里,一个年轻小伙坐在柜台后面看书。

I filled a paper cup from the machine. 我拿纸杯在咖啡机上接了一杯。

The coffee was terrible. 咖啡难喝极了。

It tasted like a burnt pencil. 尝起来像烧焦的铅笔芯味儿。

I stood outside by my car and drank it anyway. 但我还是站在车旁,一口一口喝着。

The air was cold. 空气很冷。

Above the gas station sign, 在加油站的招牌上方,

more stars than I ever see at home. 漫天的繁星比我在家时见过的都要多。

I should have hated this. 我本该讨厌这一切的。

I was tired. 我很累。

I was alone. 又是一个人。

But I love these hours. 可我就是偏爱这个时间段。

Everyone I know is asleep. 所有我认识的人都睡了。

Nobody can call me. 没人能打电话打扰我。

I'm between one place and another, 我正处于两地之间,

and for a while, I belong to neither. 而有那么一阵子,我哪儿也不属于。

Bad coffee, an empty road, the middle of the night. 难喝的咖啡,空旷的马路,寂静的深夜。

I finished the whole cup. 不知不觉,整杯咖啡都喝完了。
