第307封 逃难

    Get home in a midnight dark train last night, with a group of five ladies and an amah, two of the former acting as general managers, the third is an ugly idiot, the first and the fifth, a chicken-hearted imbecile and an ancient dame, whom I held up in my arms in getting up and down the train. It's a scene I won't describe. Anyhow, farewell Shanghai! I am rather unwilling to leave thee amidst this stirring spectacle.

    Please write me as soon as possible, to the following address:嘉兴芝桥街曹思濂转。

    请尽快给我写信。来信可寄：嘉兴芝桥街曹思濂转。

    昨晚我乘半夜的火车回到家里，同车的还有一群共五个妇人和一位老太。那五个妇人中有两个的举止就像是总经理，第三个是个丑陋的白痴，第一个和第五个，一个是小鸡胆子的蠢货，另一个像是古代的夫人，上下车都得我用双臂扶持着。这一路的情景我真不想讲了，不管怎样，再见了，上海！在这一番动乱的情景之中，我真有点不大愿意离开你。

    我爱你。

    大意：

    嘉兴非常平静，我害怕它会使我厌倦的，但是我的工作还在继续着。

    Kashing very peaceful that I fear she will weary me. But my work is still with me now.

    I love you.
