最近在看这本书，书中的Chips我一直称他为老头，可能每次在做读书笔记都这样称号，慢慢地，感觉他真的像位老爷爷一样在我身旁给我讲他的故事一样。今天读到的这一节难免觉得伤心💔，老头失去了心爱的妻子，也失去了自己的宝宝，作为读者都感受到老头的难受，可以想像得出老头是有多么的难过。
书中描绘了一位学生向老头请假，又说着可能赶不上做礼拜（Chapel）,紧接着又说到我可以去火车站接他们吗？不懂事的学生没有观察到老头的伤心，却一直问了很多关于请假的问题。难怪老头恍惚地说到：好的，好的.......然后说到：
‘You can go to blazes for all I care . My wife is dead and my child is dead, and I wish I were dead myself
"你可以去地狱也不关我的事..." 当老头说出My wife is dead and my child is dead时，我才意识到老头是在这一天失去了生命中最重要的两个人.....
Sir, may I have the afternoon off? My people are coming up.
请半天假，前一天假：may i have the day off?
My people 用于口语表示我的亲人，come up 表示即将要来，注意up的用法

He tore them open one after the other , but each contained nothing but a blank sheet of paper. He thought in a distant way that it was rather peculiar, but he made no comments.
这段动作描写的很是细微
in a distant way ---- 漠然地
造句：I say in a distant way that it is none of my business.
They had died on the same day, the mother and the child just born ; on April 1st, 1898.
悲伤的故事情节写的很少，心理学研究告诉我们，我们的大脑有一种自我保护功能——遗忘痛苦。而老头故意遗忘这段悲伤的痛苦。
