《No Flowers on the Ward》封面

Camille walks into the hospital with a bunch of yellow flowers. Her friend Noemi is in bed upstairs after an operation.

卡米耶捧着一束黄色的花走进医院。她的朋友诺埃米做完手术,正躺在楼上的病床上。

At the door of the ward, a nurse stops her. "I am sorry," she says. "We do not allow flowers here. Some patients feel sick from the smell."

在病房门口,一位护士拦住了她。“很抱歉,”她说,“这里不允许带花。有些病人闻到气味会不舒服。”

Camille looks at the flowers. She bought them this morning, and they are so bright. She feels sad.

卡米耶看着那些花。她今天早上才买的,它们那么鲜艳。她觉得很难过。

"Wait," the nurse says. "I have an idea. Many people do this. Take a photo of the flowers and print it. There is a photo shop downstairs."

“等一下,”护士说,“我有个主意。很多人都这么做。把花拍成照片,再打印出来。楼下有一家照片店。”

Camille goes to the lobby. She puts the flowers on a bench by the window. The light is good there. She takes three photos with her phone and chooses the best one.

卡米耶来到大厅。她把花放在窗边的长椅上。那里光线很好。她用手机拍了三张照片,选了最好的一张。

At the shop downstairs, a young man prints a big photo. The colors are very clear. He puts it in a plastic frame. "It looks like a real bunch," he says.

在楼下的店里,一个年轻男人打印了一张大照片。颜色非常清晰。他把它装进一个塑料相框里。“看起来就像一束真花,”他说。

Camille goes back up. This time, the nurse smiles and lets her in.

卡米耶又回到楼上。这一次,护士笑着让她进去了。

Noemi sits up in bed. She sees the frame and laughs. "Flowers that never die," she says. "And no smell!"

诺埃米在床上坐起来。她看到相框,笑了。“永远不会枯萎的花,”她说,“还没有味道!”

They put the photo on the small table by her bed. It stands next to a glass of water. Noemi looks at it for a long time.

她们把照片放在床边的小桌子上。它立在一杯水旁边。诺埃米看了它很久。

On her way out, Camille leaves the flowers at the desk. Now the people in the lobby can enjoy them too.

离开的时候,卡米耶把花留在了服务台。这样,大厅里的人也能欣赏它们了。
