“I Only Came to Use the Phone” (2) “I Only Came to Use the Phone” (2) By Gabriel García Márquez That was true, and she needed it only to let her husband know that she would not be home before seven. Wearing a student’s coat and beach shoes in April, she looked like a bedraggled little bird, and she was so distraught after her mishap that she forgot to take the car keys. A woman with a military air was sitting next to the driver, and she gave Maria a towel and a blanket and made room for her on the seat. Maria wiped off the worst of the rain and then sat down, wrapped herself in the blanket, and tried to light a cigarette, but her matches were wet. The woman sharing the seat gave her a light and asked for one of the few cigarettes that were still dry. While they smoked, Maria gave in to a desire vent her feelings and raised her voice over the noise of the rain and the clatter of the bus. The woman interrupted her by placing a fore finger to her lips. “They’re asleep,” she whispered. 《我只是来用一下电话》(2) 作者：加夫列尔•加西亚•马尔克斯 那是真的，她需要电话只是让她的丈夫知道她七点之前不会在家。在4月穿着学生的外套和沙滩鞋，她看起来就像一只湿漉漉的小鸟，并且她是如此的心烦意乱，在她倒霉的发现她忘记拿车钥匙之后。一个穿着军用飞机制服的女人，坐在司机的旁边，她给了玛利亚一条毛巾和一个毯子，并在座位上给她腾出空间。玛利亚擦掉糟糕的雨水然后坐下，把她自己包裹在毯子里，试着点燃一支香烟，但是她的火柴湿了。跟她分享座位的女人给了她一个火，并找她要了仍然干着的一些香烟中的一支。当她们抽烟时，玛利亚想要狠狠发泄一下，她提高了嗓门，声音超高过了雨水的噪音和公交车的咔哒声。那个女人把食指放在她的嘴唇上打断了她。 “他们睡着了。”她低声说。
