| Two men, who were both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to get rid of the fluids (液体) from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time lying flat on his back. The men talked for hours on_end. They talked about everything in their life. But always, the best subject was the time when his roommate described all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed would live for those onehour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activities and color of the outside world. The man had said out of the window was a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans (天鹅) played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color. Old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his eye as the man by the window described it. Unexpectedly, an alien thought entered his head: Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything? It didn't seem fair. As the thought fermented (发酵), the man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy became resentment and soon turned him sour. These dark thoughts made himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window-and that thought now controlled his life. Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, the man by the window began to cough uncontrollably and pushed the button calling for help. But he never moved, never pushed his own button, which would have brought the nurse running. In about five minutes the man was gone. When his body was taken away, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. His wish was soon granted (满足). But when he strained to take his first look out of the window, he found it faced a blank wall. |
