母亲说她清楚地记得在英国驻上海领事馆小客厅和父亲交锋的场景。英国领事馆是上海外滩占地极大的一座殖民地式建筑。几重叠起的屋顶,一二层楼窗外是长长的拱形回廊。花园里参天大树的浓荫环绕着大片绿丝毯般的草地,“可当时我的心里,荒草萋萋,一片废墟。我觉得自己的整个人生,被这个男人毁了。”母亲对我这样说。 The mother said she clearly remembered the scene of her confrontation with her father in the small living room of the British Consulate in Shanghai. The British Consulate is a huge colonial-style building on Shanghai’s Bund. A few overlapping roofs, a second floor window is a long arched corridor. The thick shade of towering trees in the garden is surrounded by a large green carpet of grass, “but in my heart my heart was full of weeds and ruins, and I thought my whole life was ruined by this man.” I say so.
