蛋糕师|The Maker of Cakes

属类: 双语小说 【分类】双语小说 阅读:[1265]
人们常说,有情人终成眷属。然而,通往爱的道路常常是艰难的。人们会说错话、做错事、措辞不当、犯错误、误解对方…… 第一个故事中,卢克和杰玛在讨论一个爱的计划。然而,是谁在做计划?又是为了谁做的计划?这是一个怎样的计划?你能为假期、坐火车旅行或是一项工作做计划,但是你真的能为爱做计划吗?
第二个故事中,萨姆在向日葵咖啡店为女友露西筹备了一份大惊喜。萨姆做了美味的蛋糕,而且那份大惊喜的构思也很好。不过,露西是怎么想的?
最后一个故事中,阿尔玛回到自己阔别六年的家乡。她感到很难过,因为她无法忘掉尼娜和德拉甘的故事。尼娜是阿尔玛的妹妹,她曾和一位名叫德拉甘的年轻男子相爱……
Love can always find a way, people say. But the road to love is often difficult. People say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, can’t find the right words, make mistakes, misunderstand each other...
In the first story Luke and Gemma talk about a plan for love. But who makes the plan? And who is the plan for? What kind of plan? You can make a plan for a holiday or a train journey or a piece of work, but can you really make a plan for love?
In the second story Sam plans a big surprise at the Sunflower Café for his girlfriend Lucy. Sam makes wonderful cakes, and the surprise is a nice idea. But what does Lucy think about it?
In the last story Alma returns to her home town after six years away. It is a sad time for her, because she cannot forget the story of Nina and Dragan. Nina was Alma’s sister, and Nina was in love with a young man called Dragan...

2月8日,星期五,下午

-

露西的桌子下面有东西在响,是她的手机收到了一条新短信。

2
-

我这周末出门。

3
-

13号星期三,跳萨尔萨舞

4
-

在马尔科俱乐部。你来不?

5
-

发自:B

6
-

44600.6041666667

7
-

露西笑了。这是B——她的好朋友贝姬——发来的短信。贝姬总忙着各种新的事物——新衣服、新俱乐部、新男友……她是个漂亮的女孩子,男人们当然喜欢她。

8
-

露西回了一条短信。

9
-

13号没问题。

10
-

发自:露西

11

44600.6076388889

12
-

露西的男友萨姆2月13号总是没有空闲,因为2月14号是情人节。萨姆是蛋糕师,他开了一家蛋糕咖啡店,名叫向日葵咖啡店。城里每个人都喜欢萨姆做的漂亮的情人节蛋糕。每年的2月14号,向日葵咖啡店的橱窗里都会摆满蛋糕。蛋糕上写着,“做我的恋人吧!”或者“永远爱我。”

13
-

露西向窗外望去。永远爱我!啊,是的,她爱萨姆。他们是在三年前的一个圣诞节派对上认识的。萨姆个子高高的,不怎么说话,不过他有很多好点子。没过多久,他和露西就形影不离了。

14
-

“这是爱吗?”一年之后贝姬问。

15
-

“当然是了。”露西说。

16
-

“哦,那他有没有说‘露西,我没有你就活不下去了!露西,嫁给我吧!做我的恋人,永远的恋人。’他说没说过这些话?”贝姬笑问。

17
-

露西也笑了。“不,那不是萨姆。萨姆从来不说——他总是去做。”

18
-

可是今天,露西想,“爱一个人三年,这时间也不短了。也许今年……也许这个情人节……也许吧。”

19
-

2月11日,星期一,下午

20
-

11号那天,贝姬给露西打电话。“我今天早上看见萨姆了。”她说,“他人真好,露西——你是个幸运的女孩。”

21
-

露西感到惊讶。“你在哪里见到他的,贝姬?”

22
-

“当然是在向日葵咖啡店了。我去那儿喝了杯咖啡。”

23
-

“又去了?”露西心想,“上个星期她去了三次,再上个星期去了两次……向日葵咖啡店离她的办公室并不近。她为什么总去那里喝咖啡?”

24
-

“噢。”她说,“嗯,萨姆这阵子很忙。我这一两天都不会见他。”

25
-

贝姬笑了起来。“你知道吗,我们要给你一个惊喜。”她说,“我太兴奋了。你能再等上几天吗?”

26
-

“我们准备了一个惊喜?你是什么意思?”露西问。

27
-

“我现在什么都不能说。”贝姬答,“13号见。拜拜。”

28
-

突然间,露西觉得情人节没那么令人激动了。她开始担心她的萨姆——还有漂亮的贝姬。什么惊喜?她不想要任何惊喜,而且还是萨姆和贝姬的惊喜?贝姬这些天经常去萨姆的咖啡店喝咖啡。为什么呢?况且萨姆也喜欢贝姬,他常常这么说。他和贝姬在一起时总是有说有笑。也许他爱上贝姬了。他昨天晚上没打电话,前天晚上也没打电话……

29
-

2月13日,星期三,下午

30
-

13号的傍晚,向日葵咖啡店里顾客盈门。店里到处都是漂亮的蛋糕。人们走出来的时候,脸上都带着幸福的笑容,手里则拿着红色的大盒子。

31
-

萨姆走出店外,看了看橱窗。他为情人节制订了一个计划,他就要准备好了。

32
-

“你好啊,萨姆。”贝姬来了。

33
-

“嗨,贝姬。你要和露西见面吗?”

34
-

“是啊,我们今晚一起去跳萨尔萨舞。那么——橱窗里要放什么,萨姆?”

35
-

“啊,我有个新主意。其实是你的主意,但是我改进了一下!到店里来吧。”

36
-

不一会儿,露西到了咖啡店门口。她想先见见萨姆,再和贝姬去跳舞。她往店里看,看见了贝姬——贝姬和萨姆,脑袋凑在一起,有说有笑。露西在门口停住了。“看来是真的了。”她想,“他们就在那儿呢,在一起。”她听不到他俩在说什么,不过他们看上去很开心,那么开心。随后,贝姬突然亲了萨姆的脸颊,萨姆也回亲了贝姬。

37
-

露西默默地离开了,眼里满是泪水。“我的心碎了。”她想,“我那么爱他——可是很多男人都喜欢漂亮的贝姬,现在连他也不例外。”

38
-

她掏出手机,给贝姬发了一条短信。

39
-

对不起。不太舒服。

40
-

回家睡觉了。

41
-

发自:露西

42
-

44605.7361111111

43
-

萨姆把他的蛋糕放进橱窗里,笑了起来。贝姬去跳舞了,乐呵呵的。露西躺在床上——哭了。

44
-

2月14日,星期四,早上

45
-

第二天露西一觉醒来。“今天是情人节。”她高兴地想——但她随即想起了萨姆和贝姬,快乐的笑容就从她的脸上消失了。那真的发生了吗?

46
-

不过今天确实是情人节。露西一直等到将近九点钟。也许萨姆会给她送一封信、几枝花或是一个蛋糕?可是什么也没有。

47
-

贝姬打电话过来了。“你还好吧,露西?今天感觉怎么样?想不想午餐的时候在向日葵咖啡店见个面?”

48
-

“我——我没想好。”露西说。但是她已经想好了。她不想看到萨姆和贝姬在一起的样子。她需要一些时间。“今天工作会忙。”她说,“也许晚些时候,好吗?”

49
-

之后她收到了萨姆的一条短信。

50
-

你能到咖啡店和我见个面吗?

51
-

发自:萨姆

52
-

44606.3715277778

53
-

露西回复:

54
-

也许晚些时候吧。

55
-

发自:露西

56
-

44606.3743055556

57
-

不过我不会去见萨姆的,她自言自语,我也不会去见贝姬——我不会去店里的。情人,爱情,桃心,吻——我都不要了。她关了手机去上班。

58
-

2月14日,星期四,下午

59
-

那天下午晚些时候,露西又打开了手机。有两条短信,一条来自贝姬……

60
-

快来咖啡店。激动人心的消息!

61
-

发自:B

62
-

44606.6888888889

63
-

另一条来自萨姆……

64
-

快来咖啡店。激动人心的消息!

65
-

发自:萨姆

66
-

44606.6909722222

67
-

可是,贝姬16点32分发的短信,萨姆是三分钟之后发的。“这么说他们是在一起的。”露西自言自语,“激动人心的消息!哼,我可不觉得。”

68
-

她不愿去想这件事。坐公交车回家的路上,她往窗外望去,可满眼都是桃心和红玫瑰。

69
-

“忘了情人节吧!”露西到家时对自己说,“我要看电影。”但当她打开家门的时候,发现地板上有一张纸。纸上写着:“看电视18:00的本地新闻。”没有落款。

70
-

“这是谁写的?”露西说,“看新闻?为什么?”

71
-

她打开了电视,然后去弄一杯咖啡。突然她听见了“萨姆·莫里斯”这个名字,于是赶紧跑回电视前。

72
-

“今天是情人节。”电视记者说,“萨姆在向日葵咖啡店展示了一条给他女友的信息。他做了这些蛋糕,昨晚把它们摆在了橱窗里。观众们可以从这里看到蛋糕。”

73
-

露西看着。在向日葵咖啡店的橱窗里有一个大大的红色心形蛋糕。周围放了很多小蛋糕,小蛋糕组成了一条信息——一条给露西的特别的信息。

74
-

“信息在那儿,可露西在哪儿?”记者说,“她经常来向日葵咖啡店,可今天却没来,还一直不接电话。萨姆会有一个快乐的情人节吗?你的答复是什么,露西?”

75
-

不过露西没有告诉他。她甚至都没把电视关上。她拿上大衣就跑出门。她有很重要的话要对萨姆说。她不想给他打电话,也不想发短信。她想把这些话告诉他,面对面地告诉他。

76
-

2月15日,星期五,傍晚

77
-

第二天傍晚,贝姬来到露西的家。萨姆开了门。

78
-

“恭喜你,萨姆!”贝姬说,“还有露西,也恭喜你啊。”

79
-

“噢,谢谢你,贝姬。进来吧。”露西说。

80
-

“我给你们带来了香槟。”贝姬说,“这儿。”

81
-

萨姆接过瓶子。“棒极了!”他说,“我们现在就喝吧。”他到一旁去开酒瓶。贝姬转过身来看着露西。

82
-

“你看上去真幸福!”她说,“不过昨天是怎么回事?你知道吗,我真的很担心。你今早在电话里可什么也没告诉我。”

83
-

露西笑了起来,但她的脸红了。“我知道。我很抱歉。”她说。

84
-

“那你为什么不回我的电话留言,也不回我的短信?”贝姬说,“来!把一切都告诉我!”

85
-

“嗯。”露西说,“我13号那天去了咖啡店,当时我站在门口,然后……然后我看到你和萨姆在店里。你们在一起看起来很快乐。然后你亲了萨姆一下,他也亲了你。而且星期一的时候,你还记得吧,你说会有一个‘惊喜’。呃,我以为惊喜是——你和萨姆。”

86
-

“啊,露西!”贝姬说,“那可不是我说的惊喜!萨姆和我在讨论情人节的事。他想为你准备一个特别的情人节。所以我就和他说:‘你最擅长什么,萨姆?你做的蛋糕特别棒。那就给她做个蛋糕吧!’他就一直在想这件事,后来他有了一个更好的主意——他做了好多好多的蛋糕。我亲他是因为我太为你感到激动了。”

87
-

“噢,”露西说,“我看到你们在一起,我误会了。然后我就回了家。我不想和任何人说话。我特别不想和你——还有萨姆说话!”

88
-

贝姬笑了。“噢,露西。”她说,“你以为——我和萨姆……算了,现在这些都无所谓了。我还想告诉你——周三晚上在马尔科俱乐部,我认识了一个人。他叫马特,他人非常好。不过,你继续说你的故事吧。”

89
-

“情人节那天,我没有接电话,萨姆又不能离开咖啡店。”露西说,“所以他的朋友尼克就在我的门下留了言。上面写着:‘看电视18:00的本地新闻。’我这才看到那些蛋糕和萨姆的信息——于是我就跑到向日葵咖啡店。”

90
-

“现在一切都好了。”贝姬说,“我能看看你的戒指吗?啊,真美。”

91
-

萨姆端来了三杯香槟。

92
-

“为露西和萨姆干杯!”贝姬说,他们三个人一起喝了香槟。

93
-

萨姆看了看手表,打开了电视。“嘿,贝姬,看这个。”他说,“这是故事的结局。”过了几分钟,本地新闻开始了,他们看到了昨天的那位记者。他正在向日葵咖啡店的橱窗外。

94
-

“每个人都想知道,萨姆昨天向露西提出的问题得到了怎样的答复。”那个记者说,“好了,萨姆得到了答复。昨天晚上,露西在电视上看到新闻之后,就来到了向日葵咖啡店。这就是她的答复——往橱窗里看!”

95
-

电视的摄像机对着橱窗逐渐拉近。橱窗里现在只有四个蛋糕——那个大大的红色心形蛋糕,还有上方三个小蛋糕。

96
-

“是露西要这么做的。她用我的小蛋糕写下了答复。”萨姆说。他轻轻地吻了露西一下。

97
-

贝姬笑了。“啊,瞧你们俩!”她说,“你们——真是太棒了!”

98

Lucy smiled. The message was from B – her good friend Becky. Becky was always busy with something new – new clothes, a new club, a new man... She was a beautiful girl, and of course men liked her.

Lucy’s boyfriend Sam was always busy on the 13th February, because the 14th was valentine’s Day. Sam made cakes, and had a cake shop and café called the Sunflower Café. Everybody in the town loved Sam’s wonderful Valentine cakes. On the 14th February every year, the window of the Sunflower Café was full of them. ’Be my valentine!’ they said, or ’Love me always.’

Lucy looked out of the window. Love me always! Oh yes, she loved Sam. They met three Christmases ago at a party. Sam was tall and quiet, but he was full of good ideas. Soon he and Lucy went everywhere together.

Suddenly Lucy wasn’t so excited about Valentine’s Day. She began to feel worried about her Sam – and beautiful Becky. What surprise? She didn’t want any surprises. And a surprise from Sam and Becky? Becky often went to have coffee at Sam’s café these days. Why? And Sam liked Becky, he often said that. He laughed a lot when he was with Becky. Perhaps he was in love with Becky. He didn’t phone last night, he didn’t phone the night before...

A moment later Lucy arrived at the door of the shop. She wanted to see Sam before she went dancing with Becky. She looked in, and saw Becky – Becky and Sam, heads together, talking and laughing. Lucy stopped at the door. ’So it’s true,’ she thought. ’There they are, together.’ She could not hear their words, but they looked happy, so happy. Then Becky Suddenly kissed Sam on the cheek, and Sam kissed Becky back.

But Becky sent her text at 16:32, and Sam sent his text just three minutes later. ’So they were together,’ Lucy said to herself. ’Exciting news! Well, not for me.’

She did not want to think about it. On the bus home she looked out of the window, but everywhere she saw hearts and red roses.

Forget Valentine’s Day!’ Lucy said to herself when she got home. ’I’m going to watch a film.’ But when she opened her door, there was a piece of paper on the floor. The message on the paper said, ’Watch the local news on TV at 18:00.’ There was no name.

It’s Valentine’s Day,’ said the TV reporter, ’and Sam put a message in the Sunflower Café for his girlfriend Lucy. Sam made all the cakes, and he put them in the window last night. You can see them here.’

Lucy looked. There in the window of the Sunflower Café was a big red heart cake. Around it were lots of little cakes, and they made a message – a special message for Lucy.

There’s the message, but where’s Lucy?’ the reporter said. ’She often comes to the Sunflower Café, but she didn’t come today. And she isn’t answering her phone. Is Sam going to have a happy Valentine’s Day? What’s your answer, Lucy?’

But Lucy didn’t tell him. She didn’t even stop to turn off the TV. She got her coat and ran out of the door. She had a very important message for Sam. She didn’t want to phone him, she didn’t want to send a text. She wanted to give him the message, face to face.

Well,’ Lucy said, ’I went to the café on the 13th, and I was at the door and... and I saw you inside with Sam. You looked so happy together. Then you kissed Sam, and he kissed you. And on Monday, you remember, you talked about a "surprise". Well, I thought that was the surprise – you and Sam.’

Oh Lucy!’ said Becky. ’That wasn’t the surprise! Sam and I talked about Valentine’s Day. He wanted to make a special Valentine’s Day for you. So I said to him, "What do you do best, Sam? You make wonderful cakes. So make her a cake!" And he thought about it, and he had a better idea – he made lots of cakes. I kissed him because I was so excited for you.’

Well,’ said Lucy, ’when I saw you two, I got the wrong idea. And I went home. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. And I really didn’t want to talk to you – or Sam!’

Becky laughed. ’Oh Lucy,’ she said. ’You thought – me and Sam... Well, it doesn’t matter now. And I wanted to tell you – on Wednesday night at Marco’s Club I met this man. He’s called Matt, and he’s really nice. But go on with your story.’

On Valentine’s Day I didn’t answer my phone, and Sam couldn’t leave the café,’ Lucy said. ’So his friend Nick put a message under my door. It said, "Watch the local news on TV at 18:00." And at last I saw the cakes, and the message – and I ran to the Sunflower Café.’

Sam looked at his watch, and turned on the TV. ’Hey, Becky, watch this,’ he said. ’This is the end of the story.’ After a few minutes the local news began, and they saw the same reporter from the day before. He was outside the window of the Sunflower Café.

Everyone wanted to know the answer to Sam’s question to Lucy yesterday,’ the reporter said. ’Well, Sam got his answer. Lucy came to the Sunflower Café last night after she saw the news on TV. And this was her answer – here in the window!’
