I get up at five-thirty. 我五点半就起了。

At that hour, the kitchen is blue. 那个点儿,厨房里泛着幽蓝的晨光。

The only sound is the refrigerator, humming to itself. 唯一的动静,是冰箱自顾自的嗡嗡声。

I sit at the table. 我坐在餐桌旁。

Upstairs, four people are asleep. 楼上,有四个人还在熟睡。

I love every one of them. 他们每一个我都深爱着。

In an hour, they'll need breakfast, and socks, and answers. 再过一个小时,他们就要吃早饭、找袜子、问东问西了。

I'll be glad to give them. 我也乐意去满足他们。

But right now, nobody needs anything. 但眼下,谁也不需要什么。

Nobody is saying my name. 没人喊我的名字。

I'm not a father or a husband. 我不是谁的父亲,也不是谁的丈夫。

I'm just a man with a cup of tea, 我只是一个端着杯茶的男人,

in a blue room. 坐在一间泛着蓝光的屋子里。

Then a door opens upstairs. 这时,楼上的门开了。

Small feet on the stairs. 楼梯上传来小小的脚步声。

"Daddy?" “爸爸?”

"Good morning," I say. “早啊,”我说。

I can give all day, 我可以一整天都为他们付出,

if I get one hour to be nobody first. 只要能先给我一个小时,做一个谁也不是的自己。
