双语·当呼吸化为空气 我们本来安排下周去度假的

我们本来安排下周去度假的，到纽约去找几个大学的老朋友。也许一起好好睡一觉，再喝上几杯鸡尾酒，能帮我们俩恢复一下感情，让婚姻的“高压锅”降降压。
We were scheduled for a vacation the following week to visit some old college friends in New York. Maybe a good night’s sleep and a few cocktails would help us re-connect a bit and decompress the pressure cooker of our marriage.

但露西别有计划。“我不跟你一起去纽约。”出发几天前，她宣布。她要搬出去住一个星期，想趁这个时间思考一下我们的婚姻状况。她这番话说得很平静，却让我更加头昏脑涨了。
But Lucy had another plan. “I’m not coming to New York with you,”she announced a few days before the trip. She was going to move out for a week; she wanted time to consider the state of our marriage. She spoke in even tones, which only heightened the vertigo I felt.

“你说什么？”我说，“不行。”
“What?” I said. “No.”

“我很爱你，所以才感到很困惑，”她说，“但我担心，我俩想从这段关系中得到的东西不一样。我们俩好像没那么心意相通了。我不想无意中发现你担心的事情。我跟你说我自己觉得很孤单，你好像也不当一回事。我得做点不一样的事。”
“I love you so much, which is why this is so confusing,” she said. “But I’m worried we want different things from our relationship. I feel like we’re connected halfway. I don’t want to learn about your worries by accident. When I talk to you about feeling isolated, you don’t seem to think it’s a problem. I need to do something different.”

“一切都会好的，”我说，“都是因为我在做住院医生。”
“Things are going to be okay,” I said. “It’s just residency.”
