Not long after the ship reached port, people started unloading (9) its cargo together with his letters. The replies were not swift (10) in arriving, but when they did, he found them deeply moving.

We had met in May and, finding ourselves so much in tune (1), had set up home together. Then, in November, she became ill.

Now she just sat up (6) in bed, staring out of the window. She had this strange belief that once the last leaf on the vine outside fell. She would die. I told her it was all nonsense (7), but to no effect.It was our downstairs neighbor, Mr. Behrman, who came to her rescue. When he heard of Johnnys strange fancy (8) he flew into a fierce temper（勃然大怒）, regarding it as a sin (9) that one so young should give up life so easily. Thanks to Behrman, the last leaf never did fall. Late at night he had climbed up and painted the leaf on the wall.

Not that Ive finished yet, there are still all those orders (訂單) to type up and I must remember to add my signature (2) to my claim (索取) for commission (3) before I post it off. Otherwise, my firm will be on the phone (4) to me about it. Not that they have much to complain about. I always manage to sell quite a lot, except that time I was laid up (5) after surgery (6). Im the only representative the firm has out on the streets nowadays and I still manage to cover a large territory (7) despite my disorder (8).

I wept over the page representing my Grandmas recent hours invested in expressing her loving gratefulness to me whom she used to diaper!納爾遜牧師寫道，他那平凡的老派校長的歲月隨著學(xué)校里發(fā)生的如此迅猛的變化而告結(jié)束，他也懷著自我懷疑的心態(tài)退了休?！罢f我做得不對的遠遠多于說我做得對的，”他寫道，接著又說我的信給他帶來了令人振奮的信心：自己的校長生涯還是有價值的。一看到外祖母那熟悉的筆跡，我頓時回想起往日站在她的白色搖椅旁看她給親戚寫信的情景。外祖母一個字母一個字母地慢慢拼出一個詞，接著再寫下一個詞，因此寫滿一頁要花上幾個小時，外祖母最近花費不少工夫?qū)ξ冶磉_了充滿慈愛的謝意，讀著老人家的信我禁不住流淚-從前是她給我換尿布的呀！Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them. He was past sixty and had a long white beard curling down over his chest. Despite looking the part, Behrman was a failure in art. For forty years he had been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. He earned a little by serving as a model to those young artists who could not pay the price of a professional. He drank gin to excess, and still talked of his coming masterpiece. For the rest he was a fierce little old man, who mocked terribly at softness in any one, and who regarded himself as guard dog to the two young artists in the studio above.Sue found Behrman smelling strongly of gin in his dimly lighted studio below. In one corner was a blank canvas on an easel (that had been waiting there for twenty-five years to receive the first line of the masterpiece). She told him of Johnsys fancy, and how she feared she would,( indeed, light and fragile as a leaf herself, ) float away, when her slight hold upon the world grew weaker. Old Behrman, with his red eyes plainly streaming, shouted his contempt for such foolish imaginings.老貝爾曼是住在兩人樓下底層的一個畫家。他已年過六旬，銀白色卷曲的長須垂掛胸前。貝爾曼看上去挺像藝術(shù)家，但在藝術(shù)上卻沒什么成就。40年來他一直想創(chuàng)作一幅傳世之作，卻始終沒能動手。他給那些請不起職業(yè)模特的青年畫家當(dāng)模特掙點小錢。他沒節(jié)制地喝酒，談?wù)撝羌磳柺赖牟恍嘀?。要說其他方面，他是個好斗的小老頭，要是誰表現(xiàn)出一點軟弱，他便大肆嘲笑，并把自己看成是樓上畫室里兩位年輕藝術(shù)家的看護人。蘇在樓下光線暗淡的畫室里找到了貝爾曼，他滿身酒味刺鼻。屋子一角的畫架上支著一張從未落過筆的畫布，在那兒擱置了25年，等著一幅杰作的起筆。蘇把約翰西的怪念頭跟他說了，還說約翰西本人就像一片葉子又瘦又弱，她害怕要是她那本已脆弱的生存意志再軟下去的話，真的會凋零飄落。老貝爾曼雙眼通紅，顯然是淚漣漣的，他大聲叫嚷著說他蔑視這種傻念頭。His mind was trapped in a body that didnt work.
