三人早餐

Breakfast for three

第二天早上我醒得很晚。太阳已经很高了，我闻到了咖啡的味道。

The next morning, I wake up late. The sun is already high, and I can smell coffee.

我下楼来到早餐室。这是一个能看到湖的大房间。三位客人坐在小桌旁吃着鸡蛋。

I go down to the breakfast room. It is a big room with a view of the lake. The three guests sit at a small table and eat their eggs.

而苏菲站在房间中间，手里拿着一杯咖啡和一叠纸。

And Sophie stands in the middle of the room, with a cup of coffee and a pile of papers.

苏菲： 早上好，亲爱的！我睡不着，所以六点就开始工作了。你看：我给马可·费里打了电话。

Sophie: Good morning, darling! I couldn’t sleep, so I started work at six. Look: I called Marco Ferri.

“你给马可打电话了？”我说，“苏菲，我周五才见他。”

“You called Marco?” I say. “Sophie, I’m going to meet him on Friday.”

苏菲： 没错。周五你就签字。一切都准备好了。价格非常好，汤姆。好得不得了。

Sophie: Exactly. And on Friday you sign. It’s all ready. The price is very good, Tom. Better than good.

苏菲是律师。如果她有了计划，谁也拦不住她。我知道这一点。有时候我很爱她这一点。

Sophie is a lawyer. When she has a plan, nobody can stop her. I know that. I love that, sometimes.

苏菲： 还有这个，亲爱的，这是屋里所有东西的清单。床、桌子、灯。我们把一切都卖掉。埃莱娜，您能数一下毛巾吗？

Sophie: And this, darling, is the list of everything in the house. Beds, tables, lamps. We sell it all. Elena, could you please count the towels?

埃莱娜： 当然，克拉克女士。

Elena: Of course, Miss Clarke.

埃莱娜的声音礼貌而冰冷。她一次也没看我。昨天在露台上时，她的眼神很温暖。现在却冷冰冰的，好像离我很远。

Elena’s voice is polite and cold. She doesn’t look at me once. Yesterday on the terrace, her eyes were warm. Now they are cold and far away.

苏菲把清单塞进我手里，亲了亲我的脸颊。“别这么难过，亲爱的。一周后我们就回伦敦了。”

Sophie puts the list into my hand and gives me a kiss on the cheek. “Don’t look so sad, darling. In a week, we’re back in London.”

我用余光看到埃莱娜离开了房间。门轻轻地关上了。这比大声关门更让人难受。

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Elena leave the room. The door closes very quietly. That is worse than a loud noise.
