25、点头，当我坐进后座时，他抱歉地说：“对不起，我在读一封信。”听上去他像是得了感冒什么的。 “我不着急，”我对他说。“你接着把信读完吧。”36 他摇了摇头。“我已经读了好几遍了。我想我都能背出来了。” “家书抵万金啊，”我说。“至少对我来说是这样，因为我老是在外旅行。”我估量他有六七十岁了，便猜测说：“是孩子还是孙子写来的？” “不是家里人，”他回答说。“不过，”他接着说，“想起来，也可以算是一家人了。埃德老伙计是我最老的朋友了。实际上，过去我俩总是以老朋友相称的就是说，当我俩相见时。我这人就是不大会写东西。”37 “我看大家写信都不那么勤快，”我说。“我自己笔头就很懒。我看，你认识他挺久了吧？
26、” “差不多认识了一辈子。我俩小时候就一起玩，所以我俩的友谊确实很长了。” “一起上的学？” “都一起上到高中呢。事实上，我俩从小学到高中都在一个班里。”38 “保持这么长久友谊的人可真不多见啊，”我说。 “其实呢，”司机接着说，“近25到30年来，我跟他一年只见一两次面，因为我从原来住的老街坊搬了出来，联系自然就少了，虽说你一直放在心上。他在的时候可真是个大好人。” “你刚才说他在的时候。你是说？” 他点了点头。“前两个星期过世啦。”39 “真遗憾，”我说。“失去朋友真是不是个滋味，失去个真正的老朋友更让人受不了。” 他开着车，没有接话儿。我们沉默了几分钟。可我知道他还在想着老埃德。他又开口
27、时，与其说是跟我说话，还不如说是自言自语：“我真该一直保持联系。真的，”他重复道，“我真该一直保持联系。”40 “是啊，”我表示赞同，“我们都该与老朋友保持更多的联系。不过总是有事情冒出来，好像就是抽不出空来。” 他耸了耸肩。“我们过去总能抽出空来，”他说。“信里还提到呢。”他把信递给我。“你看看吧。” “谢谢你，”我说，“不过我还想读你的信。这纯属私事。” 司机耸一耸肩。“老埃德人都死了。没什么私事不私事了。念吧，”他催促说。41 信是用铅笔写的。称呼写着“老朋友”，而开头第一句话让我想到自己。“早就想写信了，可就是一拖再拖。”信里接着写道，他常常回想从前两人住在一个街坊时的快乐时光。信里提
28、到些事，可能对司机很重要，比如“那次蒂姆.谢打破窗子，那年万圣节前夕，我们把老帕克先生的大门拴了起来，还有卡尔弗太太老是在放学后把咱俩留下训斥的那阵子”。 “你们俩准是在一起度过了不少时光，”我对他说。42 “就跟信里写的那样，”他回答说，“我俩在那个时候能花的只有时间。”他摇头叹道：“时间啊。” 信里接下来的那段我觉得有点凄凉：“信的开头我写着老朋友，因为这么多年来，我们这对老朋友渐渐都老了。我们这些人当中留下的也不多了。” “你要知道，”我对他说，“信里说我们这些人当中留下的不多了，说得一点不错。比如说，每次我去参加老同学聚会，来的人总是越来越少。” “时间不饶人啊，”司机说。43 “你们
29、俩以前在一起工作吗？”我问他。 “不，不过没成家时我俩总在一起闲荡。后来，两人都成了家，就不时相互串门。可最近这二三十年来，主要就是寄寄圣诞卡了。当然，我俩都总在卡上写几句通常是关于各自家里的情况，不是吗，孩子们在干些什么，谁搬到哪儿，添了个小孙子，都是这类事可一直都没正儿八经地写过信什么的。”44 “这一处写得好，”我说。“这里写道：你多年的友谊对我非常重要，远比我能说出来的重要得多，因为我不擅长说这样的话。”我颔首称是。“这话准让你听着开心，是吧？” 司机说了句什么，可我没听明白，因为他似乎哽噎得厉害。于是我接着说：“我也真想收到这样一封老朋友的来信。” 我们快到目的地了，于是我跳到最后一
30、段。“因此我想你一定想知道我惦记着你。”信末署名：“老朋友汤姆”。45 我们在我的旅店前停下，我把信递了回去。“很高兴能和你聊聊，”我将衣箱从车上提下时说。汤姆？信的署名是汤姆？ “我记得你朋友叫埃德，”我说。“为什么他署名汤姆呢？” “这封信不是汤姆写给我的，”他解释说。“我是汤姆。这是我在得知他去世前写给他的信。所以我一直没寄出。” 他神情有点悲伤，似乎想看清远处什么东西。“我想我真该早些写这封信。”46 我进了旅馆房间之后，没有马上打开箱包。首先我得写封信而且要寄出去。4748PartI(Paras1-20)nMainidea:nFromaconversationwiththecabdr
