从你的全世界路过（2）

那天茅十八没出现，我打电话他也不接。

That day, Mao Shiba didn't show up, and he didn't answer my calls.

去他在电子城的柜台找，旁边的老板告诉我，他好几天没来做生意了。

I went to his counter at the electronics city, and the neighboring shopkeeper told me that he hadn't come to work for several days.

最后在一家小酒馆偶尔碰到，他喝得很多，面红耳赤，眼睛都睁不开，问我：“张嘉佳，你去过沙城吗？”

I finally ran into him at a small tavern. He was heavily intoxicated, with a flushed face, barely able to open his eyes, and asked me, "Zhang Jiajia, have you been to Shacheng?"

我想了想：“是敦煌吗？”

I thought for a moment and replied, "Is it Dunhuang?"

他摇头说：“不是的，是座城市，里面只有沙子。”

He shook his head and said, "No, it's a city filled with sand."

我说：“你喝多了。”

I said, "You've had too much to drink."

他趴在桌上睡着了。

He laid his head on the table and fell asleep.

就这样，荔枝的纸箱子放在我的酒吧里，茅十八从来没有勇气过来拿。

Thus, the cardboard box of lychees remained in my bar, and Mao Shiba never had the courage to come and collect it.

有天店长坐我车回家，拿个导航仪出来玩，我看着眼熟，店长撇撇嘴说：“乱翻翻到的。”

One day, the manager sat in my car on the way home and took out a navigation device to play with. It looked familiar to me, and the manager shrugged and said, "I found it while rummaging around."

她一开机，导航仪发出茅十八的声音：“老子没得电了你还玩。”

When she powered it on, the device emitted Mao Shiba’s voice: "Damn it, it’s out of battery, and you’re still playing with it."

吓得店长鸡飞狗跳，说见鬼了，抱头狂号。

Startled, the manager jumped up, exclaiming that she saw a ghost and held her head, crying out in panic.

我打电话给茅十八：“东西还要不要？”

I called Mao Shiba: "Do you still need the device?"

茅十八沉默了一会儿，说：“不要了，明天回老家泰州。”

After a moment of silence, Mao Shiba replied, "Forget it, I'm going back to my hometown, Taizhou, tomorrow."

我说：“回去干吗？”

I asked, "What are you going back for?"

茅十八说：“家里在新城商业街替我租个铺子，我回去卖手机。”

Mao Shiba said, "My family is renting a store for me on Xincheng Commercial Street. I'm going back to sell mobile phones."

我忽然心里有些难过，也没有话，刚想挂手机，茅十八说：“卖手机挺好的，万一碰到个年轻貌美的姑娘，成就一段姻缘，棒棒的。”

I suddenly felt a bit sad and didn't know what to say. Just as I was about to hang up, Mao Shiba said, "Selling phones is nice; what if I meet a young and beautiful girl and end up with a romantic relationship? That would be great."

我说：“你加油。”

I said, "You cheer up."

茅十八说：“保重。”

Mao Shiba replied, "Take care."

我说：“保重。”

I said, "Take care."

2012年8月，我心情很差，开车往西，在成都喝了顿大酒，次日突发奇想，还是去稻城看看。

In August 2012, I was in a bad mood, driving westward. I had a big drink in Chengdu, and the next day, on a whim, I decided to go see Daocheng.

虽然只有一个人，但沿途听着导航仪茅十八的胡说八道，一会儿“跑那么快作死，掉沟里面我又不能帮你推”，一会儿“一百米后左拐了，妈逼你慢点儿”，倒也不算寂寞。

Although I was alone, listening to the navigation device's nonsense from Mao Shiba along the way wasn't too lonely. Sometimes it said, "You're driving too fast; if you fall into a ditch, I can't help you," and other times it would exclaim, "In 100 meters, turn left; damn it, slow down."

我觉得茅十八真是天才，我忘记插电源，亮红灯后导航仪疯狂地喊：“老子没得电了老子没得电了，你给老子点儿电啊！”

Mao Shiba truly was a genius; I forgot to plug in the power, and when the device's red light blinked, it shouted frantically, "Damn it, I’m out of battery! Give me some power!"

我差点儿笑出来，赶紧插电源。

I almost burst out laughing and quickly plugged it in.

翻过折多山、跑马山、海子山、二郎山，想看牛奶海和五色海的话，要自己爬上去。

After crossing Zheduo Mountain, Runma Mountain, Haizi Mountain, and Erlang Mountain, if I wanted to see Milk Sea and Five-Color Sea, I had to climb up.

我觉得很累，于是停在冲古寺。绿的草、蓝的水、红的叶、白的山，我看着这一场秋天的童话发呆。

I felt quite tired, so I stopped at Chonggu Temple. The green grass, blue water, red leaves, and white mountains made me gaze at this autumn fairy tale in a daze.

导航仪突然“嘟”的一声响了。

Suddenly, the navigation device beeped.

是茅十八的声音： “荔枝，你又到稻城了吗？这里定位是冲古寺，我向你求婚的地方。

It was Mao Shiba's voice: "Lychee, have you reached Daocheng again? The location here is Chonggu Temple, the place where I proposed to you.

抵达这个目的地，我就会对你说：因为是最蓝的天，所以你是天使。你降临到我的世界，用喜怒哀乐代替四季，微笑就是白昼，哭泣就是黑夜。

Upon arriving at this destination, I would tell you: because the sky is the bluest, you are an angel. You came into my world, replacing the four seasons with your joys and sorrows; a smile is daytime, and crying is nighttime.

“我喜欢独自一个人，直到你走进我的心里。那么，我只想和你在一起，我不喜欢独自一个人。

"I like being alone until you walk into my heart; then, I just want to be with you. I don't like being alone.

“我想分担你的所有，我想拥抱你的所有，我想一辈子陪着你，我爱你，我无法抗拒，我就是爱你。

"I want to share all your burdens; I want to embrace everything about you; I want to be with you for a lifetime. I love you; I can't resist it; I just love you.

“荔枝，我在想，当你听到这段话的时候，是我们结婚一周年呢，还是带着小宝宝自驾游呢？

"Lychee, I’m thinking, when you hear this message, will it be our wedding anniversary or are we on a road trip with our little one?

“我站在那一天的天空下，和今天的自己，一起对你说，荔枝，我爱你。”

"Under the sky of that day, I, along with today’s self, will say to you: Lychee, I love you."

听着导航仪里茅十八的声音，我的眼泪涌出眼眶。

As I listened to Mao Shiba's voice from the navigation device, tears streamed down my face.

那一天在云影闪烁的山坡上，草地无限柔软，茅十八跪在女孩前，说：“荔枝我爱你。”

That day, on the hillside where shadows flickered through the clouds, the grass was infinitely soft, and Mao Shiba knelt before the girl, saying, "Lychee, I love you."

今天在云影闪烁的山坡上，草地无限柔软，茅十八的影子跪在女孩的影子前，说：“荔枝我爱你。”

Today, on the hillside where the shadows flicker through the clouds, the grass is infinitely soft, and Mao Shiba's shadow kneels before the girl’s shadow, saying, "Lychee, I love you."

这里无论多美丽，对于茅十八和荔枝来说，都已经成为沙城。

No matter how beautiful this place is, for Mao Shiba and Lychee, it has already become Shacheng.

一个人的记忆就是座城市，时间腐蚀着一切建筑，把高楼和道路全部沙化。如果你不往前走，就会被沙子掩埋。

A person's memory is like a city; time erodes all buildings, turning skyscrapers and roads to sand. If you don’t move forward, you will be buried by the sand.

沙城就是一个人的记忆。

Shacheng is just a person's memory.

偶尔梦里回到沙城，那些路灯和脚印无比清晰，而你无法碰触，一旦双手陷入，整座城市就轰隆隆地崩塌。

Occasionally, in dreams, I return to Shacheng; those streetlights and footprints are vividly clear, yet you can't touch them. Once your hands get stuck, the whole city collapses with a rumble.

把你的喜笑颜开，把你的碧海蓝天，把关于我们之间所有的影子埋葬。

Bury your joy and laughter, your blue seas and skies, and all the shadows of us.

如果你不往前走，就会被沙子掩埋。所以我们泪流满面，步步回头，可是只能往前走。

If you don't move forward, you will be buried by the sand. So we cry, looking back step by step, but we can only move ahead.

哪怕往前走，是和你擦肩而过。

Even moving forward means just brushing past you.

我从你们的世界路过，可你们也只是从对方的世界路过。

I pass through your world, but you only pass through each other's worlds.

哪怕寂寞无声，我们也依旧都是废话流，说完一切，和沉默做老朋友。

Even in silent loneliness, we still spill meaningless words. After saying everything, we become old friends with silence.
