He went to the door and knocked gently. He knew almost immediately that someone was inside the house. He could not hear anything, but he was sure the knock was bringing someone to the door and he was most eager to see who this person would be his woman named Rosa Sandoval who was now to heat of murder in the world and to feel it in herself. The door was not a long time opening, but there was no hurry in the way it moved on its hinges. The movement of the door was as if, whoever she was, she and nothing in the world to fear. Then the door was open, and there she was. 論文代寫(xiě) To Homer the Mexican woman was beautiful. He could see that she had been patient all her life, so that now, after years of it, her lips were set in a gentle and saintly smile. But like all people who never receive telegrams the appearance of a messenger at the front door is full of terrible implication. Homer knew that Mrs. Rosa Sandoval was shocked to see him. Her first word was the first word of all surprise. She said "Oh," as if instead of a messenger she had thought of opening the door to someone she had know a long time and would be pleased to sit down with. Before she spoke again she studied Homers eyes and Homer Knew that she knew the message was not a welcome one. 作文 /zuowen/ "You have a telegram?" she said. 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ It wasnt Homers fault. His work was to deliver telegrams. Even so, it seemed to him that he was part of the whole mistake. He felt awkward and almost as if he alone were responsible for what had happened. At the same time he wanted to come right out and say, "Im only a messenger, Mrs. Sandoval, Im very sorry I must bring you a telegram like this, but it is only because it is my work to do so." 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/"Who is it for?" the Mexican woman said. 畢業(yè)論文"Mrs. Rosa Sandoval, 1129 G Street." Homer said. He extended the telegram to the Mexican woman, but she would not touch it. 畢業(yè)"Are you Mrs. Sandoval?" Homer said. 畢業(yè)"Please," the woman said. "Please come in. I cannot read English. I am Mexican. I read only La Prensa which comes from Mexico City." She paused a moment and looked at the boy standing awkwardly as near the door as he could be and still be inside the house. 論文代寫(xiě)"Please," she said, "what does the telegram say?" 畢業(yè)論文 "Mrs. Sandoval," the messenger said, "the telegram says " 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/But now the woman interrupted him. "But you must open the telegram and read it to me," she said. "You have not opened it." "Yes, maam," Homer said as if he were speaking to a school teacher who had just corrected him. 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ He opened the telegram with nervous fingers. The Mexican woman stooped to pick up the torn envelope, and tried to smooth it out. As she did so she said, "Who sent the telegram my son Juan Domingo?" 作文 /zuowen/"No, maam." Homer said. "The telegram is from the War Department." 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/"War Department?" the Mexican woman said. 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/"Mrs. Sandoval," Homer said swiftly, "your son is dead. Maybe its a mistake, Everybody makes a mistake, Mrs. Sandoval. Maybe it wasnt your son. Maybe it was somebody else. The telegram says it was Juan Domingo. But maybe the telegram is wrong," 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/The Mexican woman pretended not to hear. 論文代寫(xiě)"Oh, do not be afraid," she said. "Come inside. Come inside. I will bring you candy." She took the boys arm and brought him to the table at the center of the room and there she made him sit. 論文代寫(xiě)"All boys like candy," she said. "I will bring you candy." She went into another room and soon returned with an old chocolate candy box. She opened the box at the table and in it Homer saw a strange kind of candy. 畢業(yè)論文"Here," she said. "Eat this candy. All boys like candy."Homer took a piece of the candy from the box, put it into his mouth, and tried to chew. 作文 /zuowen/"You would not bring me a bad telegram," she said. "You are a good boy like my little Juanito when he was a little boy. Eat another piece." And she made the messenger take another piece of the candy. 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ Homer sat chewing the dry candy while the Mexican woman talked. "It is our own candy," she said, "from cactus. I made it for my Juanito when he come home, but you eat it. You are my boy, too." 畢業(yè)論文Now suddenly she began to sob, holding herself in as if weeping were a disgrace. Homer wanted to get up and run, but he knew he would stay. He even thought he might stay the rest of his life. He just didnt know what else to do to try to make the woman less unhappy, and if she had asked him to take the place of her son, he would not have been able to refuse, because he would not have known how. He got to his feet, as if by standing he meant to begin correcting what could not be corrected and then he knew the foolishness of this intention and became more awkward than ever. In his heart he was saying over and over again, "What can I do? What the hell can I do? Im only the messenger." 論文代寫(xiě)NEW WORDS 畢業(yè)soften 作文 /zuowen/v. （cause to） become soft（er） or gentle （使）軟化；（使）溫和 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/tragic 畢業(yè)論文a. very sad, unfortunate; of or related to tragedy 悲慘的；悲劇的 畢業(yè)論文messenger 思想?yún)R報(bào) /sixianghuibao/n. a person employed to deliver telegrams, letters or parcels 送信人，電報(bào)投遞員 gentlyad. softly 輕輕地 論文代寫(xiě)immediatelya. at once 思想?yún)R報(bào) /sixianghuibao/immediate 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/a. 思想?yún)R報(bào) /sixianghuibao/eager 論文代寫(xiě) a. marked by strong interest or impatient desire 熱切的，渴望的 畢業(yè)hinge 作文 /zuowen/n. 鉸鏈whoeverpron. no matter who 無(wú)論誰(shuí)，不管誰(shuí)saintly 論文代寫(xiě)a. like a saint; very holy 像圣徒一樣的；圣潔的implication 畢業(yè)n. 含義 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/imply 作文 /zuowen/vt.shock 論文代寫(xiě) vt. cause unpleasant or angry surprise to （sb.） 使（某人）震驚deliver 思想?yún)R報(bào) /sixianghuibao/vt. take （sth.） to the place where it esp. sth. bad 交付，遞送 畢業(yè)awkwarda. uncomfortable 尷尬的 畢業(yè)responsiblea. having done or been the cause of esp. sth. bad（應(yīng)）負(fù)責(zé)的 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/Mexican n & a. 墨西哥人；墨西哥（人）的 論文代寫(xiě)extendvt. hold out 伸出 畢業(yè)論文pause 論文代寫(xiě) vi. stop for a short time暫停，中止interrupt 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/vt. stop （sb. speaking） by breaking in 打斷（某人講話） 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/ nervous a. 神經(jīng)質(zhì)的；緊張的 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/maam 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ madam （used in direct address）夫人，太太，小姐 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ smooth 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/vt. make smooth or smoother把弄平department 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/n. 部門(mén)；系 思想?yún)R報(bào) /sixianghuibao/swiftlyad. rapidly, quickly快速地；敏捷地 論文代寫(xiě) swifta. 作文 /zuowen/ chocolate 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/n. 巧克力（糖） 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/chew 畢業(yè)論文vt. crush （food） with the teeth 咀嚼 畢業(yè)cactus 作文 /zuowen/n. 仙人掌 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/sob 作文 /zuowen/vi. cry with short, quick breaths 啜泣；嗚咽disgrace 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/n. shame 恥辱；丟臉的人（或事） 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/ unhappy 畢業(yè)a. not happy 作文 /zuowen/hell 作文 /zuowen/n. 地獄 作文 /zuowen/ PHRASES & EXPRESSIONS 畢業(yè)hear of 畢業(yè)have knowledge of or receive information about 聽(tīng)到，聽(tīng)說(shuō) 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/be responsible for be the cause of 應(yīng)對(duì)負(fù)責(zé)的 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/come out （with） 畢業(yè) speak out 大聲地說(shuō)，清楚地說(shuō) 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/smooth out 作文 /zuowen/make smooth（er） 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/ hold oneself in 畢業(yè)control ones feelingstake the place of 畢業(yè)論文act or be used instead of, replace 代替，取代get to ones feel 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/ stand up 畢業(yè)over and over again 思想?yún)R報(bào) /sixianghuibao/very often, repeatedly 反復(fù)地，再三地 思想?yún)R報(bào) /sixianghuibao/PROPER NAMES 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/ Rosa Sandoval 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/羅莎.桑多瓦爾 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/Homer 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ 霍默Mexico City 論文代寫(xiě)墨西哥城（墨西哥首都）Juan Domingo 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/胡安 多明哥 簡(jiǎn)歷大全 /html/jianli/the War Department 論文代寫(xiě)（美國(guó)）陸軍部（舊稱(chēng)） 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/Juanito 開(kāi)題報(bào)告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/胡安尼特（Juan的昵稱(chēng)） 作文 /zuowen/
