未说出口的爱：23年的友情 Forever Friendship 【谷歌点名第四期“情”】

Without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations, are silent joy and sharing.  

在友谊里，不用言语，一切的思想，一切的愿望，一切的希冀，都在无声的欢乐中发生而共享了。 

不知道你是否也有这样一位朋友，没有天天联系，甚至一年两年见一次面，但是见面之后倍感亲切与放松，可以跟对方诉说任何心事，聊任何话题，一起做任何事情, 不用顾忌那么多！ 

Do you ever have such a friend like this: you do not contact each other everyday, and even only meet once a year, but once you're together, you two will be like one soul just in different bodies.

我很幸运有这样一位朋友，她叫霞。我们认识有23余年之久，她是我邻居奶奶家的外甥女，比我大2个月，三四岁的时候，我们便是好朋友了。虽然对于那段时期的事情记忆很模糊了，但是看着老照片亦能回忆二三。

I'm very lucky have a friend that that, her name is Xia. We have been know each other for more than 23 years. We're friends since our childhood. Even though I do not remember much things about that period, I could recall some when I saw our old pictures.

 

(猜猜哪个小可爱是我？Guess which one is me?)

因为她家庭的缘故，小的时候她便一直住在外婆家，而我们俩因为住的离得近，年纪又相仿，便很快成了好朋友，天天腻在一起，嬉戏打闹，我家就是她家。这样的日子大概过了2年吧，我们都到了上学的年纪了，那时有规定，得在户籍所在地上学，她便被爸妈接回家了。我只记得当时有好长一段时间，我都不太开心，因为少了一个玩伴，而且还要去上学。

When we are little kids, she lived in her grandma's home, which is near my home, in this way, we become friends quickly, everyday, we played together, my home is her home. We lived like that for 2 years, and then we need to go school. She had to go back to her home. As I remembered, I was unhappy for a very long time since she left.

所幸的是，我们还有暑假，暑假一到，她便会被送来外婆家，我们有一个月的时间可以在一起，因为，另外一个月，我也会去我外婆家。我们会在一起写暑假作业，玩各种游戏，喜欢的衣服换着穿，当然我们也会吵架。只记得那一次是因为一盒水彩笔 ，也不记得是孰对孰错，事情缘由了，只知道那次吵完架我们很久没有理对方，而在和解之前她就被接回家去了。

Luckily, we have summer holiday. We can spend a whole month together. We will do our summer holiday homework together, play all kinds of games and exchange clothes, of course, we will quarrel with each other. I remembered once we quarrelled for a box of water color pens, I can not remember the details, what I know was after that quarrel, we did not speak to each other for several days, and she back to her home before we had a chance to back to good.

这样的相处维持到小学毕业吧。上了初中，暑假她没有再长期待在她外婆家，不过每次能待上个十天半个月，对于我们来讲，这段时间也是幸福的。我一直学习成绩都不错，性格恬静，是老师家长眼中的“乖宝宝”，而她跟我性格截然相反，非常活泼，不爱学习，还总爱跟男生混在一起玩。虽然性格迥异，但也阻挡不了我们之间的友情。

We being together like this until we graduated from primary school. And in  junior school, she can no longer stay at her grandma's home for a whole summer holiday, only ten days. However, we are still happy in that period. I was a girl always being a "well-behaved baby" in either parents' or teachers's eyes, and she was totally different, she was very active, didn't not like studying and always play together with boys. But this can never stop our friendship.

再后来，理所当然的我考上了我们那儿最好的高中，而她最差的高中也没能录取。我努力想安慰她，难过就要哭出来，但她很倔强，还笑着说她本来也不喜欢读书，现在正好得尝所愿不用再读了，我知道她内心的难受，她只是不想表现出来。 

Finally, I went to the best high school, and she failed any school entrance examination. I tried to comfort her, but she stayed very strong and said this was just what she wished. I know she was really upset for a long time, and she just did not want to show.

就这样，我上了高中，她便开始打工。这个时期开始，我们在一起的时间越来越短了，我有暑假，她不再有暑假了。我们唯一期待的就是过年，因为大年初二，我们都会去外婆家拜年。搁以前，过年我总是要在我外婆家住上几天才会回来的，但是那个时期，我死活都不住，非要拜完年吃完饭晚上回家。过年这几天，我们一如既往的天天在一起，我跟她诉说学校里遇到的各种人，各种事，她跟我说她打工遇到的人和事，那时，我们互相羡慕，我羡慕她不用做那么多繁冗的作业，她羡慕我不用看老板眼色干活。

In this way, I went to high school, and she began to work. We hardly have the chance to spent too much time together.  The only chance we can see each other was New Year, she came to visit her grandma, and we will spend several days together. I told her about my classmates and studies, she shared me about her working life.  We envy each other that time. I envied that she did not have so much hard shcool work, and she envied taht I did not worry about the scold from her boss.

     

上了大学之后，我们见面更少了，电话基本打不通，就像消失了一样，而只能去隔壁奶奶家问情况。那段时间，她独自去了温州发展，虽然她往家里报的是一切都好，但我知道她一个女孩子在外必定艰难。后来有一年她回来了，无声无息，直到她来我家找我。她变了，变的很非主流，很会穿着很会打扮，刚开始我都快认不出来，愣了半天，好一阵子才缓过来，我很想责问她为什么不接我电话，不联系我，但我没问，我知道她肯定有她的理由，我们又哭又笑，好像又回到了以往的日子，在我面前，她还是原来那个她，不管别人怎么说。

When I went to college, we can seldom meet each other, she seldom answer my phone, just like disappeared. And the only way I heard about her was from her grandma. I know she suffered a lot living in an unfamiliar city. One year, she came back silently, when she stood in my front, I did not tell her, she changed, she dressed herself very fashion and colored her hair. We laughted and cried, just like back to the time in our childhood. She was still she in my heart no matter what other people sayying about her.

生活经历的不同，我们有着各自的朋友圈，也只是偶尔联系，不刻意，不强求，每年见一面，这样刚刚好。即使我们没有说出口，我们也互相知道我们的友谊一直在，且永不灭。 如今她已为人妻，有着一个幸福的家庭，愿她此生都像儿时般那么快乐！

We have our own social life. We just contact each other occassionally and meet each other once a year, neither on purpose nor scheduled. Although we never speak out, we know our friendship is there and never fade away. Now she had her lovely family, wish she will be happy forever.

致我和她的23年友情！ 

To our 23 years' friendship!
