“I Only Came to Use the Phone” (3)
“I Only Came to Use the Phone” (3)
By Gabriel García Márquez
Maria looked over her shoulder and saw that the bus was full of women of uncertain ages and varying conditions who were sleeping in blankets just like hers. Their serenity was contagious, and Maria curled up in her seat and succumbed to the sound of the rain. When she awoke, it was dark and the storm had dissolved into an icy drizzle. She had no idea how long she had slept or what place in the world they had come to. Her neighbor looked watchful.
“Where are we?” Maria asked.
“We’ve arrived,” answered the woman.
The bus was entering the cobbled courtyard of an enormous, gloomy building that seemed to be an old convent in a forest of colossal trees.

玛利亚转过头来细心察看,看到公交车里装满了不确定年龄和像她一样不同情况的女人,正睡在毯子里。她们的平静可以传染,玛利亚蜷缩在她的座位上屈服了雨水的声音。当她醒来时,天黑了,暴风雨变成了冰冷的细雨。她不知道自己睡了多久,或她们已经来到了什么地方。她旁边的女人看上去很警觉。
“我们在哪里?”玛利亚问。
“我们已经到了。”那个女人说。
公交车正进入一个看起来像是老修道院的凶恶阴郁的建筑物的铺有鹅卵石的庭院,在巨大的乔木森林中。
