moment of epiphany when the grandmother says:

写的如此详细当奶奶这么说时
"What have I seen?

我看到了什么
What have I seen?

我看到了什么
The earth and the sky and the garden not as they always are," and she saw

天与地还有花园都不是以前的了
her daughters' faces not as they always were or as other people's

然后她看到她女儿的脸庞也不一样了
were and she was quiet and aloof and watchful not to startle

其他人也不一样了她安静而冷漠小心翼翼
the strangeness away.

不赶跑这种疏离感
She had never taught them to be kind to her.

她从没有教她们对她好
So, in that three-page passage, Ruth's voice inhabits her

所以在那三页文章里露丝的声音驻足在
grandmother's mind at widely varied moments in the grandmother's

她奶奶的心里在奶奶一生的
life: important, extremely intimate moments,

各种时刻: 重要的极其私人的时刻
even the strange moment of epiphany in the garden.

甚至在花园里那个奇怪的顿悟时刻
