　　Helen and Martin

　　With a thoughtful sigh(長嘆一聲), Helen turned away from the window and walked back to her favourite armchair(扶手椅). Would(將要) her brother never arrive? For a brief moment, she wondered if she really cared that much.

　　Over the years Helen had given up (放棄)_ waiting for Martin to take an interest in her. Her feelings for him had gradually weakened(變淡)_ until now, as she sat waiting for him, she experienced no more than a sister's. curiosity(好奇心) to see what had become(發(fā)生…事) of her brother.

　　Almost without warning(預(yù)兆) , Martin had lost his job with a busy publishing company after spending the last eight years in New York as a key figure in the US office. Somehow the two of them hadn't bothered(煩擾) to keep in touch and, left alone, Helen had slowly found her confidence(對…有信心) in her own judgment growing. Ignoring(不顧) the wishes of her parents, she had left university halfway through(過程中) her course and now, to the astonishment(驚訝;令人驚訝的事物) of the whole family, she was gaining(獲得) a fast-growing reputation(名聲，名譽;聲望) in the pages of respected art magazines and was actually earning enough to live on(靠) from her paintings.

　　Of course, she took(對) no pleasure in Martin's sudden misfortune(不幸;災(zāi)禍，災(zāi)難), but she couldn't help(忍不住) looking forward to her brother's arrival with quiet(暗暗地) satisfaction(滿意，滿足) at what she had achieved.

　　海倫和馬丁

　　海倫若有所思地嘆了口氣，轉(zhuǎn)身離開了窗戶，向她最喜歡的扶手椅走去坐了下來。哥哥將永遠(yuǎn)不再回來了嗎?這種想法在她腦海里迅速閃過后，她又想自己是否真的很在意他的到來。

　　這些年來，海倫已經(jīng)放棄了等待馬丁對她產(chǎn)生興趣。她一直坐那等他，對他的感覺到現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)漸漸地變淡了。她所有的不過是一個妹妹的好奇心，想知道她的哥哥到底發(fā)生了什么事。

　　幾乎沒有任何預(yù)兆的，馬丁就失去了工作。他是一家出版社美國辦事處的重要人物，那里非常忙碌，他在紐約最后的八年是為其工作的。在某種程度上，他倆不會因為彼此的聯(lián)系或不聯(lián)系而煩擾。漸漸地，海倫發(fā)現(xiàn)她對自己的判斷越來越有信心了。她不顧父母的期望，大學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)未念完就輟了學(xué)。現(xiàn)在讓全家人吃驚的是，她很快地在一個很受業(yè)內(nèi)認(rèn)可的藝術(shù)雜志上成了名，而且她的畫作足以維持生活。

　　當(dāng)然，她也對馬丁所遭遇的突然不幸感到難過。但是她還是忍不住期望他哥哥的到來，并暗暗地對自己所取得的成就感到欣慰。
