一旦成了老人,你的另一扇生活之门就静静开启了。家里的一切大小事不再由你做主,你不再为柴米油盐操心,也不用下地干活;唯一可做的,就是呆在家里,子女们都说你是一把锁,替他们守住家门。你一个人坐在那里,有时候,你甚至觉得,你其实更像门口安睡的大黄狗,一个乡村老人与一条看家狗,或许有些殊途同归。 Once you become an old man, another door of your life is quietly opened. No one in your family will ever be the master of your own affairs. You no longer worry about or troubled you. The only thing you can do is stay at home. The children say you are a lock and hold the door for them. You sit there alone, and sometimes you even think that you are actually more like a rhinoceros sleeping in the doorway, an old man in the country, and a house dog, maybe somehow different.
