这两天,当儿时的玩伴、青年时的闺蜜出现在眼前的时候,许多青春往事又再现在记忆的屏幕上,画面清晰而透彻。
These two days, when my childhood playmate, youth’s ladybro appeared in front of me, old memories of the youth recurred to me, clear and thorough.

闺蜜和我同校不同班,但我们极为类似的是文科好、理科差。数、理、化,从心往外排斥的东西,自然是学不好,可是轮到工资升级考试时,面对考卷我们都失落了,几个题都出错或不会做。当考卷交回给老师后,我俩商议怎么办,于是一个不良的行为发生了:
My ladybro and I were in different classes at the school, but we are very similarly good at liberal arts and poor in science. For mathematics, physics, and chemistry, something repelled from our heart, naturally we did not learn well, but when it came to the salary upgrade test, facing the examination papers, we both were lost, a few questions were answered wrong or not to be done. When the examination paper was handed back to the teacher, we deliberated how to do, and a bad behavior happened:

两个不到20岁的小女孩,趁着夜色,跑到车间,用锯片打开了车间工程师办公室的门,考卷就在工程师的抽屉里。我在门外放哨,她把考卷拿出来,翻出我俩的考卷,急忙纠正和填好了答案,再把考卷放了回去。为了不露痕迹,她还把两颗老鼠屎放在考卷上,这意味着考卷未曾动过,即使老师发现动了,那也是老鼠的事,就这样我们通过了考试。
Two little girls, less than 20 years old, took advantage of the night, ran to the workshop, opened the door of the workshop engineer’s office with the saw blade, and the examination papers were in the engineer’s drawer. I kept watch outside the door, and she took out the papers, rolled out our examination papers, hurriedly filled in and corrected the answers, and put the test papers back. In order to hide the truth, she even put two old mouse excrement on the examination paper so that it seems not been touched by person. Just as we expected, we passed the exam at last.

与此同时,我们又都是热爱文学的青年,她的文笔很好,当年的文章还上过铁道报,而我更侧重哲学方面的研究。
At the same time, we were also both youth of loving literature, her style of writing was very good, some of her articles even were issued on the railway newspaper, and I focused more on the philosophical research.

当年在杂志上看到这样两句话:好女人是一所学校,好女人是一本书。当时对这两句话的理解虽然不能像现在这样深刻,但从内心里却非常想做一所学校、一本书。
I once saw such two words on the magazine: A good woman is like a school. A good woman is like a book as well. At that time, my understanding to these two sentences was not as profound as it is now, but from inside of my heart I wanted very much to be a good woman like that.

如今,几十年过去了,当年的起心动念,让我的人生在千锤百炼中成长,在风雨雷电中铸就,在失败与成功中不断地书写和建造。如今,雪染双鬓,初心未改——好女人是一所学校,好女人是一本书。
Now, a few decades have passed, the thought and mind of that years has made my life growing up and thoroughly tempered, casting in the storm and thunder, writing and building in the midst of failure and success. Now, though my double temples are white as snow, the initial heart is not changed — the good woman is like a school, the good woman is like a book.(2017年9月10日马小秋分享)
