The daffodil principle

水仙花法则

Several times my daughter had telephoned to say,"Dad, you must come see the daffodils before they are over."

女儿打了好几次电话说：“爸爸，水仙花凋谢之前，你一定得来看看。”

I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead. "I will come next Tuesday," I promised, a little reluctantly, on her third call.

我想去，但是从拉古纳到箭头湖需要两小时的车程。在女儿第三次来电时，我勉强答应说：“我下星期二过去。”

水仙花法则

Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said,

“Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in the clouds and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see bad enough to drive another inch!”

星期二一大早就开始下雨，而且还很冷。只是我答应了女儿，所以就开车去了。我终于踏进了女儿卡罗琳的家门，在与外孙拥抱问候之后，我对女儿说：“卡罗琳，忘掉水仙花吧!外面阴云密布，又下起了雾，路根本看不清楚。在这个世界上，要不是为了看你和这几个孩子，我才不会开车过来。”

My daughter smiled calmly and said, "We drive in this all the time, Dad."

女儿淡然一笑道：“爸爸，我们可是经常在这种天气里开车。”

"Well, you won't get me back on the road until it clears, and then I'm heading for home!" I told her.

“好啦，除非天气转晴，否则你别想让我开车上路。天一晴我就回家。”我郑重其事地跟她说道。

But first Dad, we're going to see the daffodils, it just a few blocks.

但是爸爸，我们先去看水仙花吧，离这只有几条街。

Carolyn said. "I'll drive. I'm used to this weather."

卡罗琳回答道，“我来开车，我习惯了。”

"Carolyn," I said, "please turn around."

“卡罗琳，”我厉声说道，“请你调头。”

"It's all right, Dad, I promise. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience."

“好啦，爸爸，我敢保证，如果错过这个机会，你会后悔的。”

After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small gravel road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that said, “Daffodil Garden.”

差不多20分钟后，我们拐上了一条石子路面，我看到一座小教堂。在教堂的对面，有一个手写的标牌：“水仙花园”。

We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most glorious sight. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it down over the mountain peak and slopes. The flowers were planted in majestic, swirling patterns ; great ribbons and swaths of deep orange, white, lemon yellow, salmon pink, saffron, and butter yellow. Each different-colored variety was planted as a group so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own
