There's a moment every evening, around six in winter. 每天傍晚都有那么个时刻，冬天大概是六点左右。

The sky outside goes dark blue, 外面的天色变成了深蓝，

and the windows turn into black mirrors. 窗户也成了黑漆漆的镜子。

That's when I close the curtains. 每到这时候，我就该拉窗帘了。

I pull the left one, then the right, 先拉左边这扇，再拉右边那扇，

and they meet in the middle with a soft sound. 两片窗帘在中间轻轻合上，发出一声轻响。

And the world ends, right there, at the cloth. 整个世界就这么被挡在了外面，止步于这层布料。

Outside is the street. 窗外是街道。

The traffic, the cold, my office four kilometers away, the news. 是车流、寒冷、四公里外的办公室，还有各种新闻。

All the things that wanted something from me today. 是今天所有向我索取精力的人和事。

Inside is a lamp, a sofa, a pot on the stove. 而窗内，有一盏灯，一张沙发，炉子上还有一口锅。

Tomorrow I'll open the curtains and deal with all of it. 明天我会拉开窗帘，去面对这一切。

But tonight, the day has a wall. 但今晚，这一天到此筑起了一道墙。

It can come this far, and no further. 一切就到这儿为止，再也进不来了。

My grandmother used to say, 我奶奶过去常说：

"Close the curtains, and what's outside can wait." “窗帘一拉，外面的事儿就都得等着。”

It's the simplest door I own. 这是我拥有的最简单的一扇门。
