贝恩被一声枪声惊醒,剌耳的枪声透过厚厚的石墙传进房间。屋里很冷,贝恩·纽曼从床上爬起来时,直打哆嗦。他戴上眼镜走到窗前,发现整个大地被一层洁白的冰霜覆盖着。太阳还没有升起,窗外静悄悄的,没有任何动静。贝恩朝田野那边茂密的丛林望去。两个星期以前,他看见一只鹿在林中漫步,他极度兴奋地屏住呼吸,看着鹿慢悠悠地离去。贝恩疑惑枪声是从哪里传来的。他想也许是他在梦中听到了枪声。 Bain was awakened by a gunfire, piercing gunfire through the thick stone wall into the room. The house was cold, and Bain Newman shivered as he got up from the bed. He put on his glasses and went to the window and found the entire earth covered with a layer of white frost. The sun has not risen, the window is quiet, there is no movement. Bain looked toward the jungle over the fields. Two weeks ago, he saw a deer walking in the woods. He held his breath with extreme excitement and watched the deer slowly leave. Bain wondered where the gunfire came from. He thought maybe he heard a gunshot in his dream.
