Just Two For Breakfast

 

When my husband and I celebrated our 38th weddinganniversary at our favorite restaurant, Lenny, the piano player,asked, "How did you do it?"

当我和丈夫在我们*喜欢的饭馆庆祝结婚38周年纪念日时,那个弹钢琴的莱尼过来问道:你们是怎么过过来的?

 

I knew there was no simple answer, but as the weekend approached, I wondered if one reasonmight be our ritual of breakfast in bed every Saturday and Sunday.

我知道,对于这个问题无法简简单单地来回答。但随着周末一天天的临近,我开始在想:或许其中的一个原因就是我们每逢星期六和星期天都在床上吃早餐。

 

It all started with the breakfast tray my mother gave us as a wedding gift. It had a glass top andslatted wooden side pockets for the morning paper e kind you used to see in the movies. Motherloved her movies, and although she rarely had breakfast in bed, she held high hopes for herdaughter. My adoring bridegroom took the message to heart.

一切都是从那个早餐托盘开始的,我妈把它作为结婚礼物送给我们。盘面是玻璃的,两边各有一个细长的木制侧袋用来放晨报——就像过去常常在电影中见到的那样。我妈很喜欢那些电影,尽管她自己很少在床上用早餐,却非常希望女儿能这样。深爱着我的新郎把我母亲的话牢记在心里。

 

Feeling guilty, I suggested we take turns. Despite grumblings -- "hate crumbs in my bed" ---Sunday morning found my spouse eagerly awaiting his tray. Soon these weekend breakfastsbecame such a part of our lives that I never even thought about them. I only knew we treasuredthis separate, blissful time read, relax, forget the things we should remember.

出于心里感觉有些愧疚,我提议由我们两个轮流准备早餐。星期天早上,虽然他嘴里嘟嘟囔囔地抱怨着——“我讨厌饭渣弄到床上。”——但我还是见到丈夫在急切地等候他的早餐。周末早餐不久就成为我们生活中的一部分,习以为常也就不去想它了。我只知道我俩都很珍视这段与其他时间有别的幸福时光——看看报、放松一下自己,忘记那些本该记在心里的事情。

 

Sifting through the years, I recalled how our weekends changed,but that we still preserved theritual. We started our family (as new parents, we slept after breakfast more than we read), but wealways found our way back to where we started, just two for breakfast, one on Saturday and oneon Sunday.

细想逝去的岁月,我回忆起我们周末生活的诸多变化,但这个老习惯却依旧*留下来。我们建立起了这个家庭(初为父母时,早饭后的时间我们多半是睡一会儿,而不是阅读),但是我们总能够找到归路,返回起点——只是两个人的早餐,星期六一次,星期天一次。

 

When we had more time, my tray became more festive. First it was fruit slices placed ingeometric pa
