住在A座的人
<p>俗话说：“远亲不如近邻。”但搬进来<span word="B">B</span>座已经三年了，我们家连<span word="A">A</span>座住了什么人都不知道，又哪里能享受到这种比亲戚更温馨的邻里关系呢？</p><p><span word="As">As</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="saying">saying</span> <span word="goes">goes</span>, "<span word="a">a</span> <span word="distant">distant</span> <span word="relative">relative</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="better">better</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="close">close</span> <span word="neighbor">neighbor</span>." <span word="But">But</span> <span word="it">it</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="three">three</span> <span word="years">years</span> <span word="since">since</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="moved">moved</span> <span word="into">into</span> <span word="block">block</span> <span word="B">B</span>. <span word="We">We</span> <span word="don">don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="even">even</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="lived">lived</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="block">block</span> <span word="A">A</span>. <span word="how">how</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="enjoy">enjoy</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="kind">kind</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="neighborhood">neighborhood</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="warm">warm</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="relatives">relatives</span>?</p><p>两年以前</p><p><span word="couple">couple</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="years">years</span> <span word="ago">ago</span></p><p>刚刚住进这幢高层楼宇，觉得特方便。除了进大厅跟保安打招呼“嗨，我是十六楼的”以外，基本上可以保持沉默，免去对阿婆大婶们的寒暄，直接到家门。</p><p><span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="convenient">convenient</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="live">live</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="high">high</span>-<span word="rise">rise</span> <span word="building">building</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="now">now</span>. <span word="In">In</span> <span word="addition">addition</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="entering">entering</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="hall">hall</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="say">say</span> "<span word="Hi">Hi</span>, <span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> 16<span word="th">th</span> <span word="floor">floor</span>" <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="security">security</span> <span word="guard">guard</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="basically">basically</span> <span word="keep">keep</span> <span word="silent">silent</span>, <span word="avoid">avoid</span> <span word="greeting">greeting</span> <span word="grandma">grandma</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="aunts">aunts</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="go">go</span> <span word="directly">directly</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="door">door</span>.</p><p>而<span word="A">A</span>座留给我们的概念，是一扇永不开启的绿色铝合金防盗门。不仅防盗，也防止了我们想同<span word="A">A</span>座搞点邻里关系的外交行为。</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="concept">concept</span> <span word="left">left</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="block">block</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="green">green</span> <span word="aluminum">aluminum</span> <span word="alloy">alloy</span> <span word="anti">anti</span>-<span word="theft">theft</span> <span word="door">door</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="never">never</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="opened">opened</span>. <span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="anti">anti</span>-<span word="theft">theft</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="also">also</span> <span word="prevents">prevents</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="trying">trying</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="neighborhood">neighborhood</span> <span word="relations">relations</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="block">block</span> <span word="a">a</span>.</p><p>一年以前</p><p><span word="A">A</span> <span word="year">year</span> <span word="ago">ago</span></p><p>住得久了，保安同志自然记得我们，这就连进大厅的报到也省了，有时就用眼色传递。乘电梯时，如果你是个乐观的人，便说：“不错，每天都与不认识的人在一起，蛮有新鲜感的。”但若你是悲观主义者，就会埋怨：“都是些陌生的面孔，哪有回到家的感觉？”偶尔与一两个好不容易攀谈上了，也是蜻蜓点水，也许下次见到面的机会只有万分之一吧。</p>
