“我相信你看过许多古典诗词，那么你爱看小说吗？”

“阿姨，你在考我吗？”

她半蹲下来，揉着男孩漂亮的脸颊说：“你可以叫我谷小姐。”

“好吧，谷小姐。”

“你看过《简•爱》吗？”

虽然，这本书对于小学生来说太成人了，但谷秋莎要考验他的并非这个。

“看过啊。”

“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless?”

不经意间，谷秋莎背出这段简•爱对罗切斯特所说的名言开头，她相信眼前的男孩很难通过这轮考试，若能把中文翻译出来谢天谢地了。

“You think wrong!”让人意想不到，司望直接说出了后面的英文，“I have as much soul as you, and full as much heart!

I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal, as we are!”

当他声情并茂字正腔圆地背诵完毕，谷秋莎已不敢直视这孩子的双眼。十年前，谷秋莎送给申明一本《简•爱》的原版小说，那是她爸爸去美国考察时带回来的，她记得申明反复背诵过这段英文。

“就仿佛我们两人穿过坟墓。”

她情不自禁用中文念出这句，司望低垂眼帘，目光隐藏在长长的睫毛后面：“对不起，我看过英文原著，但只会背这段英文。”

“司望，你明白这句话的意思吗？”

“明白。”

“就好像经历过一样？”

他停顿几秒钟，摇摇头：“不知道。” 本章未完，请点击下一页继续阅读！ 第2页/共3页
