我上次去她家还是25年前，那时我还不过是个小孩，但她还是很欢迎我来做客，给我冲咖啡，愉快地跟我谈论她的生活。

I hadn't been to her house in Worthing since I was a boy, some 25 years ago, but she welcomed me with a pot of coffee, happy to talk about her life.

大概是命运让我站在她面前一次，在今天这样的黄昏，而她还不过是一个小孩子的时候。

It would be like fate to let me stand in her presence once, on such an evening as this, when I have destroyed myself with drink and she is as yet only a child.
