每当我吃过安眼药,仍旧睡不着的时候,我就让自己静静地数数儿,从一数起,之后就会慢慢进入梦乡。这个方法起初很灵,后来就不行了;我往往会把数字和我的年龄联系起来!比如数到四,五,我就想起在上海和祖父在一起的乐事;数到了七,八,就会想起我在烟台海边奔走游戏的快事;继续数下去,心情却渐渐地复杂起来了。九十二年过去了,再过半个月,就会数到九十三了,什么事情都经历过了,我已是一个真正没有烦恼,随时准备离去的人。
Every time I take sleeping pills but still can’t sleep, I count quietly to myself, starting from 1, afterwards I will slowly enter a dream world. This method is very effective at first, but later on, not so much; as I will often make a connection between the numbers and my age! For example, when I get to 4 or 5 I will think about the happy times spent with my granddad in Shanghai; when I get to 7 or 8, I start to think about the joyous times running around the seaside at Yantai; as I continue counting my mood gradually gets more complicated. 92 years have already past, and in half a month it will be 93, I have already experienced everything, I really am a carefree, ready to go at any moment type of person.
Questions:
1:“我”为什么要数数儿? In order to get to sleep. Right
2:“我”此时多大岁数?92 years old. Right
3:文章最后的“离去”是什么意思?To go. Wrong. It is to die.
