and a thick book I'd been wanting to read for a year. 还有一本我想读想了一整年的厚书。

Then the city ended, and there were fields, 然后城市到了尽头，眼前换成了田野，

and a river that stayed with us for a long time, 还有一条一路伴着我们前行的河流，

sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right. 一会儿在左边，一会儿又到了右边。

I read one paragraph. 我才读完了一段。

I looked up. 我抬起头。

A valley. 一片山谷。

A white church on a hill. 山坡上一座白色的小教堂。

Three kids on a bridge, waving at the train. 桥上有三个孩子，正冲着火车挥手。

Mountains now. 这会儿是连绵的山峦。

A tunnel, and then a lake, 穿过一个隧道，迎面便是一片湖，

so suddenly that the man across from me said, "Oh." 一切来得太突然，坐在我对面的男人忍不住轻叹了一声“哇”。

My book was still open at page one. 我的书还停在第一页翻开着。

I don't regret it. 我一点也不后悔。

I can read the book anywhere. 那本书我在哪儿都能读。

That window only had one showing. 但那扇窗外的风景，就只放映这么一回。
