字幕原文

On the hottest nights, we didn't sleep inside. 最热的那几晚,我们都不在屋里睡。

We carried the bamboo bed out to the yard, 我们把竹床搬到了院子里,

and I lay down on it next to my grandmother. 我挨着奶奶并排躺下。

The bamboo was cool on my back. 竹床贴着后背,凉洼洼的。

Above us, there were more stars 头顶上的星星,

than I could count, though I tried. 多得数也数不清,虽然我每次都去数。

Grandma had a big fan made from a dried leaf. 奶奶手里有一把大蒲扇。

She waved it slowly, back and forth, 她慢悠悠地摇着,一下又一下,

and the air moved across my face. 微风轻轻拂过我的脸庞。

And she told stories. 她就这么讲起了故事。

A clever rabbit. 讲聪明的兔子,

A girl who lived on the moon. 讲住在月亮上的姑娘。

I never heard how any of them ended. 可我从来都不知道这些故事的结尾。

I always fell asleep first. 因为我总是先睡着了。

But here's what I learned, years later, from my mother. 直到多年后,我才从母亲那里得知,

After I was asleep, the fan didn't stop. 我睡着后,那把蒲扇其实并没有停下。

It kept moving, back and forth, for a long time. 它还在那儿轻轻摇着,摇了很久很久。

Some love makes no sound. 有些爱是悄无声息的,

You only feel the breeze. 你只能感觉到一阵阵的微风。
