   I could see his face so clearly now… almost hear his voice. And, despite all the horror and hopelessness, I was fleetingly 1 happy.  现在,我是如此清晰的看到了他的脸……几乎都能听到他的声音了。尽管有如此多的恐惧和绝望,我依然抓住了这短暂的欢乐。


  So involved was I in my escapist daydreams 2, I lost all track of the seconds racing 3 by. 我太沉迷于自己逃避现实的白日梦里了,以至于完全忘记了时间的流逝。
  "Hey, what was the number?" “嗨,门牌号是多少?”
  The cabbie's question punctured 4 my fantasy, letting all the colors run out of my lovely delusions 5. Fear, bleak 6 and hard, was waiting to fill the empty space they left behind. 出租车司机的发问打破了我的白日梦,我幻觉里的所有色彩都荡然无存。恐惧,凄凉和艰难,正等着填补幻觉消失后所留下来的空白。
  "Fifty-eight twenty-one." My voice sounded strangled. The cabbie looked at me, nervous that I was having an episode or something. “5821。”我的声音听起来快要窒息了。那个司机紧张地看着我,就好像我是某个有趣的小插曲。
  "Here we are, then." He was anxious to get me out of his car, probably hoping I wouldn't ask for my change. “那么,你到了。”他不安地看着我下车,也许只是在希望着我不要让他找钱。
  "Thank you," I whispered. There was no need to be afraid, I reminded myself. The house was empty. I had to hurry; my mom was waiting for me, frightened, depending on me. “谢谢。”我喃喃低语着。没有必要感到害怕,我提醒自己。家里现在没人。我得抓紧时间。我的母亲正等着我,她一定已经吓坏了,只能指望我。
  I ran to the door, reaching up automatically to grab the key under the eave. I unlocked the door. It was dark inside, empty, normal.  我跑向大门,本能地伸出手去取屋檐下的钥匙。我打开了门。屋里很黑,空无一人,一切正常。
  I ran to the phone, turning on the kitchen light on my way. There, on the whiteboard, was a ten-digit number written in a small, neat hand.  我向电话机跑去,在路上打开了厨房的灯。在那里,就在那块白板上,写着一行十位数字,字迹小巧工整。
  My fingers stumbled over the keypad, making mistakes. I had to hang up and start again. I concentrated only on the buttons this time, carefully pressing each one in turn.  我的手指颤抖着伸向电话键盘,却拨错了。我不得不挂上电话,重新拨号。这次我把注意力全都集中在按钮上,小心地按顺序按下每一个按钮。我成功了。
  I was successful. I held the phone to my ear with a shaking hand. It rang only once. 我用颤抖的手把电话举到耳边。电话只响了一下就接通了。
