你是那人间的四月天
本期内容：
There is one thing I don't get, I said.有一件事我想不明白，我说。
"What's that?"
什么事啊？
"How come if your favorite color is blue, you painted your house so pink?"
你最钟爱的颜色是蓝色，你为什么把房子油漆成娇艳的粉红色？
She laughed. "That was May's doing. She was with me the day I went to the paint store to pick out the color. I had a nice tan color in mind, but May latched on to this sample called Caribbean Pink. She said it made her feel like dancing a Spanish flamenco. I thought, "Well, this is the tackiest color I've ever seen, and we'll have half the town talking about us, but if it can lift May's heart like that, I guess she oughtto live inside it.
她朗声大笑。“那是五月的杰作。那天，我去油漆店挑选油漆颜色，她也跟去了，我本意是要选悦目的茶色油漆，但是五月执意要买这种称作加勒比海红的油漆。她说，这种颜色会给她一种在跳西班牙佛莱明哥舞的感觉。我心里暗暗想道，这是我见过的最俗艳的颜色，镇子里很多人都会议论我们的，不过，如果这种颜色能够让五月开心的话，我想他就应该住在这种颜色的房子里。”
"All this time I just figured you liked pink, " I said.
我还一直以为是你喜欢粉红色呢
She laughed again. "You know, some things don't matter that much, Lily. Like the color of a house. How bigis that in the overall scheme of life? But lifting a person's heart --now, that matters. The whole problemwith people is
她又笑了起来。“你知道，莉莉，有些事情并不那么重要。譬如房屋的颜色。在整个人生计划里，那又算得了什么呢？但是，让一个人开心-唔，那很重要。人的最大的问题就在于”
"They don't know what matters and what doesn't, " I said, filling in her sentence and feeling proud of myself for doing so.
他们不知道什么事情重要，什么事情不重要。我接嘴说出了以为她要说的话，并为此自鸣得意。
"I was gonna say, The problem is they know what matters, but they don't choose it. You know how hard that is, Lily? I love May, but it was still so hard to choose Caribbean Pink. The hardest thing on earth is choosing what matters. "
我想说的是，问题是，他们明知道什么重要，却不去选择他。莉莉，你知道做出选择有多难吗。我爱五月，但是心里仍然难以接受选择加勒比海红。世界上最难的事情，莫过于选择重要的事情。
