My sister and I stayed many sleepless nights at a local hospital 在本地一所医院里，我和姐姐已经通宵达旦了许多个夜晚 as our mother was in critical condition. 我们的母亲身体状况十分危急。 ICU and all that goes with it. 她已经进了重症监护室，还有随之而来的各种检查和医疗手段 There was a man 有一个男人 close to our age 跟我们差不多年纪 who sat alone for as many days as we had. 他坐咋床边的时间跟我们一样长 The worry was on his face.. 他脸上忧心忡忡 the tense conversations he had with the doctors.... 还有他与医生们之间的紧张对话 He was much more polite to us. 他对我们尤为礼貌 I'm so ashamed to admit it.. 我十分惭愧的承认 We were not very kind to him. 我们对他并不特别友好 every time he went for a bottle of water 每次他要去买瓶水喝 He offered to bring us something back.. 他总会提出为我们带一些东西回来 We just said no.. 我们只是说“不了” Not no thank you.. 不是“不用了，谢谢” Not thanks for asking.. 不是“谢谢你的好意” |
