ROMANCE OF MT WUDANG
Chapter II Unfinished emotions on the road to learning（I）
Many a time
We say we let it go
Actually, we never do so
We just pretend to play a happy rhyme
And then in the quiet corner fast
Lonely caressing the scars of the past
Since Mr Xia has left, Lu Yuexia's heart is always unable to calm down.
Until half a month later, Lu Yuexia was walking alone on the streets of the mountain city when she accidentally met a boy named Ye Wei, a neighbor from her hometown. Ye Wei had played together in childhood and attended elementary and junior high school with Lu Yuexia. Later, Ye Wei was admitted to No.1 Middle School of the Mountain City, from then on, they never met again. In Lu Yuexia's memory, Ye Wei is willful and persistent, lazy and casual, childlike and helpless.
It was in early August, when a guest from Lu Yuexia's dormmate girlfriend invited her to the night bar near the hospital. When Lu Yuexia and her group arrived at the bar, there were already three people inside, one of whom was Ye Wei.
Ye Wei was wearing a light red shirt that looked like a flower about to wither, with a lazy expression and eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He had no energy at all. After finishing his meal and singing a song, Ye Wei got up and left. He turned around and smiled at Lu Yuexia, and his whole face immediately became vivid, bright and radiant.
On a Monday afternoon, Lu Yuexia was stopped by Ye Wei at the end of work. The sadness and stubbornness on Lu Yuexia's face both surprised and moved Ye Wei.
But Lu Yuexia still politely declined Ye Wei, because she already had a boyfriend.
Ye Wei, who had never experienced love before, said to Lu Yuexia, "Being in love is not like queuing up to eat. Is there still a first come, first served system?" From then on, regardless of whether Lu Yuexia agreed or not, Ye Wei always waited for her to eat and go to the library together. Ye Wei took advantage of the fact that Mr Xia, the boyfriend in Lu Yuexia's heart, was not in this city and took the opportunity to approach her.
Autumn has arrived.
The melancholy of autumn, the silence of the evening, if he were a sensitive poet, his clear tears would drip onto his sleeves; If he were a young man, his serene expression in the sparse forest would evoke a sense of melancholy in the darkness. At this moment, all the liveliness, anger, and sorrow merge into a dense net, melting into the longing scenery of this autumn evening. The only thing that cannot be cut back and left behind is a sense of sadness. Fallen leaves are like "not being able to withstand" the autumn cold, and people under the deciduous forest may also feel "not being able to withstand autumn"! Moreover, the nostalgic dusk adds a layer of withering to it!
On Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Wei came to accompany Lu Yuexia. Lu Yuexia said she was upset and insisted on going back to her bedroom. Ye Wei called Lu Yuexia from a public telephone booth near the hospital, singing and playing in the autumn breeze. After singing the song 'I Really Miss You' three times, Lu Yuexia remained indifferent. Ye Wei had no choice but to tell Lu Yuexia, 'I'm at the end of my rope.'
Lu Yuexia realized that Ye Wei had been singing in the autumn wind for more than 20 minutes, so she remained silent on the phone. Ye Wei shouted loudly over here, "Speak up quickly, my phone card is almost used up." However, Lu Yuexia said softly, "You don't have to do this at all! "
For a moment, Ye Wei felt full of grievance and heartache. No matter how hard he tried, the distance between them two was still far and vague. They two remained silent until there was only one minute left on the phone card.
Lu Yuexia finally said slowly, "Come down to my building now."
After finally waiting until dawn, Lu Yuexia said, "I can never be your girlfriend."
One night's premonition became a reality, but Ye Wei still refused to accept it: "Is it really forever? "
Lu Yuexia didn't answer and turned around to leave.
Ye Wei finally restrained himself from not coming to find Lu Yuexia for three days.
On another weekend evening, Ye Wei picked out a bouquet of carnations from a flower-and-gift shop in the mountain city, and as soon as he walked into the hospital entrance, he met Lu Yuexia coming towards him. Ye Wei carefully handed the flowers to Lu Yuexia. Lu Yuexia accepted the carnations when she saw it was carnation. At this point, Ye Wei began to jokingly call Lu Yuexia "little sister". Lu Yuexia knew that Ye Wei was deliberately indicating the "rules" of their relationship. For being fellow villagesr and classmates, Lu Yuexia didn't say anything.
Days passed in this state for four weeks. Regarding Ye Wei's reluctance to part, Lu Yuexia was somewhat moved, but the joy of returning to school made this feeling fleeting. When Ye Wei escorted Lu Yuexia to the station and saw her waving goodbye happily, Ye Wei finally understood that although this was a one-man love, Lu Yuexia could not stop himself from being intoxicated. Ye Wei said to Lu Yuexia, "I like to see your feet swaying gently, the shadow of your long skirt drifting gently in the wind, and I even like to see you staring at me angrily and shyly while you're eating... ..."
However, Lu Yuexia couldn't stand Ye Wei's disregard for her selfless dedication, which was the only reason why Lu Yuexia would be angry with Ye Wei.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuexia returned to school, and Ye Wei also opened a restaurant near the school where Lu Yuexia was located. One day, Ye Wei came to school to have evening self-study with Lu Yuexia. Just after 7 o'clock, Xu Bing also came over and sat next to Lu Yuexia. After a while, Xu Bing and Lu Yuexia started chatting in the classroom. Actually, Xu Bing didn't say anything excessive, but Lu Yuexia couldn't help but feel sorry when she saw Ye Wei's affectionate expression. Without saying a word, Lu Yuexia picked up her schoolbag and left. Along the way, Lu Yuexia hoped that Ye Wei would appear in front of her, but he didn't. When Lu Yuexia was about to arrive at the dormitory, it suddenly started raining. Rainwater seeped through the glass window, and Lu Yuexia saw Xu Bing and Ye Wei still chatting happily. Lu Yuexia turned her head and rushed back to the classroom, holding back her anger, placing her umbrella on Ye Wei's desk, and walked away without looking back.

武当山之恋（英汉对照）▪第二章（上）
第二章 求学路上情未了
很多时候
我们说放下了
其实并没有真的放下
我们只是假装很幸福
然后在寂静的角落里
孤独地抚摸过去的伤痕
自夏先生走后，陆月霞的心一直不能平静下来。
直到半个月后，陆月霞独自一人在山城的街上散步，无意 中遇到了老家邻居的一个男孩，名叫叶伟，童年时代在一起嬉戏过，叶伟与陆月霞一起上小学和初中 ，之后叶伟考取了山城一中 ，再后来就一直没有见过。 在陆月霞的记忆中，叶伟任性而执著 、慵懒而散漫 、童趣而无奈 。
那是 8月 初，陆 月霞 同 宿舍的 女友 来 了一 位 客人 ，邀陆 月霞一同前往医院附近的夜色酒吧。当陆月霞一行来到酒吧时，里面已有三个人，其中一个就是叶伟。
叶伟穿着一件像花快要凋谢了的淡红颜色的衬衣神情懒 懒的，眼睛似笑非笑，整个人没有一点精神。吃罢饭唱完歌，叶伟起身离开时回头对陆月霞一笑，整张脸立刻生动起来，灿烂而明媚。
一个星期一的下午，陆月霞在下班时被叶伟拦住了。陆月霞满脸的忧伤和倔强让叶伟既惊奇又感动。
但陆 月霞 还是 委婉 拒绝 了叶 伟，原 因 是自 己 已 有 男友 。
从没有遭遇过爱情的叶伟对陆月霞：“ 谈恋爱又不像排 队吃饭，还有先来后到吗？”从此，无论陆月霞同意与否，叶伟总是等她一起吃饭，一起去图书馆。 叶伟利用陆月霞心中的男友夏先生不在这个城市乘机接近她。
秋天来了。
秋之凄戾，晚之默对，如果他是个易感的诗人，他的清泪当潸然滴上襟袖；如果他是个少年，对此疏林中的瞑色，便又在冥茫之下生出惆怅的心思。在这时所有的生动和激愤以及忧愁合成一个密点的网子，融化在这秋晚的憧憬的景物之中。连不起的剪不断的丢不下的只有凄凄之感，落叶如“不胜”秋寒，而落叶林下的人儿，恐怕也觉得“不胜秋”了！况且那令人眷念怅寻的黄昏又加上一层凋零的意味呢！
中秋节这天，叶伟来陪陆月霞 ，陆月霞说心烦，执意要回寝 室 。 叶伟就在医院附近的一个公用电话亭打电话给陆月霞 ，在秋风 中 边 唱 边 弹 。 一 首《真 的 好 想 你》唱 了 三 遍 陆 月 霞 仍 无 动于衷，叶伟只好告诉陆月霞 ：“ 我已经黔驴技穷了 。”
陆月 霞意 识到 叶 伟 已 在 秋风 中 唱 了 20 多 分钟 ，就在 电话 里沉默不语 ，叶伟在这边大叫 ：“ 快说话 ，我的电话卡快用完了 。” 陆月霞却 幽 幽地说 ：“ 你完全没必要这样做 啊 ！
叶伟一时间只觉满心委屈和心酸 ，无论自己如何努力 ，两 人之间的距离仍然遥远而渺茫 。两人就一直沉默到电话卡还剩一分钟 。
陆月霞最后慢慢地说 ：“ 你现在到我楼下来 。”
好不容易等到天亮了，陆月霞说 ：“我永远不可能成为你的 女朋友 。”
一夜的预感成为现实 ，叶伟仍不甘心：“ 真是永远吗？
陆月霞没有回答，转身离开了 。
叶伟终于克制自 己三天没有来找陆月霞 。
又一个周末的晚上，叶伟在小城一家鲜花礼品店挑了一束 康乃馨 ，刚走进 医 院 门 口就遇 到迎 面 而来 的 陆月霞 。叶伟小心 翼翼地把花递给陆月霞 。陆月霞见是康乃馨便收下了 。叶伟这时开始戏称陆月霞“ 小妹 ”。陆月霞知道叶伟在刻意标明她们交往的“ 规则 ”。 因为是老乡和同学 ，所以陆月霞什么也没说。
日子就在这种状态下走过了四个星期。对于叶伟的依依 不舍 ，陆月霞有些感动 ，但是归校的喜悦却让这点感动稍纵即逝。当叶伟送陆月霞到车站 ，看见叶伟愉快地挥手告别 ，叶伟终于 明 白 ：这虽是一 场一个人 的爱情 ，但 陆 月 霞却 没法让 自 己不再继续沉醉 。 叶伟对陆月霞说 ：“ 我喜欢看你双脚轻轻摆动，长裙轻轻随风飘的影子 ，更喜欢看你吃饭时偶一抬头见我盯着嗔怒娇羞 的样子 …… ”
然而，陆月霞受不了叶伟对自己这种忘我投入的轻慢 ，这是陆月霞会对叶伟生气的唯一原因 。
真没料到，陆月霞回校了 ，叶伟也来陆月霞所在的学校附 近 开 了 一 个 餐 馆 。 有 一 天 ，叶 伟 来 到 学 校 和 陆 月 霞 一 起 上 晚 自 习 ，刚 过 7 点 ，许 冰 也 走 来 坐 到 陆 月 霞 旁 边 。 过 了 一 会 儿 ，许 冰 与陆月霞就在教室里聊起天来 。 其实 ，许冰也没说什么过分的话，但陆月霞看见叶伟那情意绵绵的样子就忍不住心疼 。 陆月霞什么话也没说抓起书包就走 。 一路上陆月霞都希望叶伟会 出现在自己面前，然而没有 。 陆月霞快到宿舍时 ，突然下雨了 。雨水隔着玻璃窗 ，陆月霞看到许冰和叶伟还在开心地聊天。 陆月霞扭头又赶回教室忍住气把伞放在叶伟的桌子上 ，头也不回地走了 。
