蜷缩地

Since her tenth birthday, Naida had lived in a mental hospital, in the ward where they put people who were strange in shape and ways—where old frail women were tucked under thin frayed bedspreads, waiting for the time when their jaws would drop suddenly in the night; where curious bland children with slit eyes and lips bubbling with saliva played with rag toys or a red wooden engine in a yard that was hidden from the outside world.

从十岁起，奈达就住在了一个精神病院，那些长相怪异，处世疯癫的人们被关在那儿的病房里。在那里，年老体弱的妇人蜷缩在磨损得不成样子的床单下，绝望地等待着在某天晚上咽下最后一口气。在那里，好奇且百无聊赖的孩子们眯缝着惺松的眼，嘴角挂着哈拉子，在他们与世隔绝的小天地－院子里－摆弄着他们的破玩具，或者是，那个红色的木制火车头。
