It is time for the baby's birthday party: a white cake, strawberry-marshmallow ice cream, a bottle of champagne saved from another party. In the evening, after she has gone to sleep, I kneel beside the crib and touch her face, where it is pressed against the slats, with mine. She is an open and trusting child, unprepared for and unaccustomed to the ambushes of family life, and perhaps it is just as well that I can offer her little of that life. I would like to give her more. I would like to promise her that she will grow up with a sense of her cousins and of rivers and of her great-grandmother's teacups, would like to pledge her a picnic on a river with fried chicken and her hair uncombed, would like to give her home for her birthday, but we live differently now and I can promise her nothing like that. I give her a xylophone and a sundress from Madeira, and promise to tell her a funny story.
女儿的生日聚会开始了——有白蛋糕,草莓蜜饯冰激凌,和一瓶从别的聚会上留下来的香槟。晚上,女儿睡着后,我跪在小床边,面颊贴着她那紧挨着床栏的小脸蛋。女儿性情开朗,相信别人,对于家庭生活的陷阱既不知晓,也无防范。也许,我还是让她少过这种生活吧。我倒是愿意给与她更多别的东西。我倒愿意许诺让堂兄弟姊妹的手足之情、潺潺流淌的小河、以及外曾祖母的茶杯伴着她成长;愿意答应带她去河边野炊,认她披散着头发,啃炸鸡;愿意给她一个真正的家作为生日礼物。但是,我们的生活不同了啊,我无法许诺给予她这一切!我只给了她一把木琴和来自马德里的背心裙,还答应给她讲个有趣的故事。
