忙碌的工作日早上

In a rush this weekday morning,

快速经过一片墓地时，我按了按汽笛

I tap the horn as I speed past the cemetery

那里埋葬着我的父母

where my parents are buried

他们肩并肩躺在一块光滑的花岗岩石板下面

side by side beneath a slab of smooth granite.

然后，一整天，我都在想他坐起来

Then, all day, I think of him rising up

给我的那一个眼神

to give me that look

一种什么都懂的不以为然

of knowing disapproval

而母亲则平静地命令他躺回去

while my mother calmly tells him to lie back down.
