مصلّح الساعات في الطابق السفلي

我家楼下有一个很小的修表店，老板是一位六十多岁的老师傅，姓陈。

Wǒ (third tone, dipping) jiā (first tone, high and level) lóuxià (second tone, rising) yǒu (third tone, dipping) yí (second tone, rising) ge (neutral tone) hěn (third tone, dipping) xiǎo (third tone, dipping) de (neutral tone) xiūbiǎo (first tone, high and level) diàn, (fourth tone, falling) lǎobǎn (third tone, dipping) shì (fourth tone, falling) yí (second tone, rising) wèi (fourth tone, falling) liùshí (fourth tone, falling) duō (first tone, high and level) suì (fourth tone, falling) de (neutral tone) lǎo (third tone, dipping) shīfu, (first tone, high and level) xìng (fourth tone, falling) Chén. (second tone, rising)

في الطابق السفلي من بيتي دكّان صغير جدًّا لإصلاح الساعات، صاحبه معلّم في الستّينات من عمره اسمه تشين.

店里没有什么装修，只有一张旧桌子、一个小灯和墙上挂着的几十块旧手表。

Diàn (fourth tone, falling) li (neutral tone) méiyǒu (second tone, rising) shénme (second tone, rising) zhuāngxiū, (first tone, high and level) zhǐyǒu (third tone, dipping) yì (fourth tone, falling) zhāng (first tone, high and level) jiù (fourth tone, falling) zhuōzi, (first tone, high and level) yí (second tone, rising) ge (neutral tone) xiǎo (third tone, dipping) dēng (first tone, high and level) hé (second tone, rising) qiáng (second tone, rising) shang (neutral tone) guà (fourth tone, falling) zhe (neutral tone) de (neutral tone) jǐshí (third tone, dipping) kuài (fourth tone, falling) jiù (fourth tone, falling) shǒubiǎo. (third tone, dipping)

لا زينة تُذكر في الدكّان: طاولة قديمة، ومصباح صغير، وبضع عشرات من الساعات القديمة معلّقة على الجدار.

现在大家都用手机看时间，戴手表的人越来越少，来修表的人就更少了。

Xiànzài (fourth tone, falling) dàjiā (fourth tone, falling) dōu (first tone, high and level) yòng (fourth tone, falling) shǒujī (third tone, dipping) kàn (fourth tone, falling) shíjiān, (second tone, rising) dài (fourth tone, falling) shǒubiǎo (third tone, dipping) de (neutral tone) rén (second tone, rising) yuè (fourth tone, falling) lái (second tone, rising) yuè (fourth tone, falling) shǎo, (third tone, dipping) lái (second tone, rising) xiūbiǎo (first tone, high and level) de (neutral tone) rén (second tone, rising) jiù (fourth tone, falling) gèng (fourth tone, falling) shǎo (third tone, dipping) le. (neutral tone)

اليوم ينظر الجميع إلى الوقت في هواتفهم، ويقلّ عدد من يلبسون الساعات يومًا بعد يوم، وعدد من يأتون لإصلاحها أقلّ من ذلك.

有一次，我好奇地问他：“生意这么差，您为什么不换个工作呢？”

Yǒu (third tone, dipping) yí (second tone, rising) cì, (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) hàoqí (fourth tone, falling) de (neutral tone) wèn (fourth tone, falling) tā: (first tone, high and level) “Shēngyi (first tone, high and level) zhème (fourth tone, falling) chà, (fourth tone, falling) nín (second tone, rising) wèishénme (fourth tone, falling) bú (second tone, rising) huàn (fourth tone, falling) ge (neutral tone) gōngzuò (first tone, high and level) ne?” (neutral tone)

سألته مرّة بدافع الفضول: «العمل كاسد إلى هذا الحدّ، فلماذا لا تغيّر مهنتك؟»

陈师傅笑了笑，没有直接回答，而是从抽屉里拿出一块很旧的手表给我看。

Chén (second tone, rising) shīfu (first tone, high and level) xiào (fourth tone, falling) le (neutral tone) xiào, (fourth tone, falling) méiyǒu (second tone, rising) zhíjiē (second tone, rising) huídá, (second tone, rising) ér (second tone, rising) shì (fourth tone, falling) cóng (second tone, rising) chōuti (first tone, high and level) li (neutral tone) náchū (second tone, rising) yí (second tone, rising) kuài (fourth tone, falling) hěn (third tone, dipping) jiù (fourth tone, falling) de (neutral tone) shǒubiǎo (third tone, dipping) gěi (third tone, dipping) wǒ (third tone, dipping) kàn. (fourth tone, falling)

ابتسم المعلّم تشين ولم يُجب مباشرة، بل أخرج من الدرج ساعة قديمة جدًّا وأراني إيّاها.

那块表已经很旧了，表面上的字都快看不清楚了。

Nà (fourth tone, falling) kuài (fourth tone, falling) biǎo (third tone, dipping) yǐjīng (third tone, dipping) hěn (third tone, dipping) jiù (fourth tone, falling) le, (neutral tone) biǎomiàn (third tone, dipping) shang (neutral tone) de (neutral tone) zì (fourth tone, falling) dōu (first tone, high and level) kuài (fourth tone, falling) kàn (fourth tone, falling) bu (neutral tone) qīngchu (first tone, high and level) le. (neutral tone)

كانت الساعة بالية جدًّا، حتّى إنّ الأرقام على وجهها لم تكد تُقرأ.

他说，这是一位老太太三年以前送来的，是她丈夫年轻时买给她的第一件礼物。

Tā (first tone, high and level) shuō, (first tone, high and level) zhè (fourth tone, falling) shì (fourth tone, falling) yí (second tone, rising) wèi (fourth tone, falling) lǎotàitai (third tone, dipping) sān (first tone, high and level) nián (second tone, rising) yǐqián (third tone, dipping) sòng (fourth tone, falling) lái (second tone, rising) de, (neutral tone) shì (fourth tone, falling) tā (first tone, high and level) zhàngfu (fourth tone, falling) niánqīng (second tone, rising) shí (second tone, rising) mǎi (third tone, dipping) gěi (third tone, dipping) tā (first tone, high and level) de (neutral tone) dì (fourth tone, falling) yī (first tone, high and level) jiàn (fourth tone, falling) lǐwù. (third tone, dipping)

قال إنّ سيّدة عجوزًا أحضرتها قبل ثلاث سنوات، وإنّها أوّل هديّة اشتراها لها زوجها حين كانا شابّين.

当时老太太跑了好几家店，别人都说零件早就不生产了，没办法修。

Dāngshí (first tone, high and level) lǎotàitai (third tone, dipping) pǎo (third tone, dipping) le (neutral tone) hǎo (third tone, dipping) jǐ (third tone, dipping) jiā (first tone, high and level) diàn, (fourth tone, falling) biéren (second tone, rising) dōu (first tone, high and level) shuō (first tone, high and level) língjiàn (second tone, rising) zǎo (third tone, dipping) jiù (fourth tone, falling) bù (fourth tone, falling) shēngchǎn (first tone, high and level) le, (neutral tone) méi (second tone, rising) bànfǎ (fourth tone, falling) xiū. (first tone, high and level)

وكانت قد طافت على عدّة دكاكين، فقال لها الجميع إنّ قطعها توقّف إنتاجها منذ زمن ولا سبيل إلى إصلاحها.

陈师傅却把表留了下来，一有时间就研究。

Chén (second tone, rising) shīfu (first tone, high and level) què (fourth tone, falling) bǎ (third tone, dipping) biǎo (third tone, dipping) liú (second tone, rising) le (neutral tone) xiàlái, (fourth tone, falling) yì (fourth tone, falling) yǒu (third tone, dipping) shíjiān (second tone, rising) jiù (fourth tone, falling) yánjiū. (second tone, rising)

أمّا المعلّم تشين فأبقى الساعة عنده، وكان يعكف عليها كلّما وجد وقتًا.

没有零件，他就自己做；做坏了，就重新再来。

Méiyǒu (second tone, rising) língjiàn, (second tone, rising) tā (first tone, high and level) jiù (fourth tone, falling) zìjǐ (fourth tone, falling) zuò; (fourth tone, falling) zuò (fourth tone, falling) huài (fourth tone, falling) le, (neutral tone) jiù (fourth tone, falling) chóngxīn (second tone, rising) zài (fourth tone, falling) lái. (second tone, rising)

فإذا لم يجد قطعة صنعها بنفسه، وإذا أفسدها أعاد صنعها من جديد.

陈师傅说，那段时间，他晚上常常在灯下工作到很晚，有好几次都想放弃了。

Chén (second tone, rising) shīfu (first tone, high and level) shuō, (first tone, high and level) nà (fourth tone, falling) duàn (fourth tone, falling) shíjiān, (second tone, rising) tā (first tone, high and level) wǎnshang (third tone, dipping) chángcháng (second tone, rising) zài (fourth tone, falling) dēng (first tone, high and level) xià (fourth tone, falling) gōngzuò (first tone, high and level) dào (fourth tone, falling) hěn (third tone, dipping) wǎn, (third tone, dipping) yǒu (third tone, dipping) hǎo (third tone, dipping) jǐ (third tone, dipping) cì (fourth tone, falling) dōu (first tone, high and level) xiǎng (third tone, dipping) fàngqì (fourth tone, falling) le. (neutral tone)

وقال إنّه في تلك المدّة كان كثيرًا ما يعمل تحت المصباح حتّى وقت متأخّر من الليل، وإنّه همّ بالاستسلام أكثر من مرّة.

用了半年多的时间，那块表终于又走了起来。

Yòng (fourth tone, falling) le (neutral tone) bàn (fourth tone, falling) nián (second tone, rising) duō (first tone, high and level) de (neutral tone) shíjiān, (second tone, rising) nà (fourth tone, falling) kuài (fourth tone, falling) biǎo (third tone, dipping) zhōngyú (first tone, high and level) yòu (fourth tone, falling) zǒu (third tone, dipping) le (neutral tone) qilai. (neutral tone)

وبعد أكثر من ستّة أشهر عادت الساعة أخيرًا إلى الدوران.

老太太来取表的那天，拿着表看了很久，突然就哭了。

Lǎotàitai (third tone, dipping) lái (second tone, rising) qǔ (third tone, dipping) biǎo (third tone, dipping) de (neutral tone) nà (fourth tone, falling) tiān, (first tone, high and level) ná (second tone, rising) zhe (neutral tone) biǎo (third tone, dipping) kàn (fourth tone, falling) le (neutral tone) hěn (third tone, dipping) jiǔ, (third tone, dipping) tūrán (first tone, high and level) jiù (fourth tone, falling) kū (first tone, high and level) le. (neutral tone)

وفي اليوم الذي جاءت فيه العجوز لأخذها، أمسكتها ونظرت إليها طويلًا، ثمّ بكت فجأة.

她问陈师傅要多少钱，陈师傅摇了摇头，一分钱也没有收。

Tā (first tone, high and level) wèn (fourth tone, falling) Chén (second tone, rising) shīfu (first tone, high and level) yào (fourth tone, falling) duōshao (first tone, high and level) qián, (second tone, rising) Chén (second tone, rising) shīfu (first tone, high and level) yáo (second tone, rising) le (neutral tone) yáo (second tone, rising) tóu, (second tone, rising) yì (fourth tone, falling) fēn (first tone, high and level) qián (second tone, rising) yě (third tone, dipping) méiyǒu (second tone, rising) shōu. (first tone, high and level)

سألته كم عليها أن تدفع، فهزّ المعلّم تشين رأسه ولم يأخذ منها فلسًا واحدًا.

她说，丈夫已经去世十年了，听到这块表的声音，就好像他又回来了。

Tā (first tone, high and level) shuō, (first tone, high and level) zhàngfu (fourth tone, falling) yǐjīng (third tone, dipping) qùshì (fourth tone, falling) shí (second tone, rising) nián (second tone, rising) le, (neutral tone) tīng (first tone, high and level) dào (fourth tone, falling) zhè (fourth tone, falling) kuài (fourth tone, falling) biǎo (third tone, dipping) de (neutral tone) shēngyīn, (first tone, high and level) jiù (fourth tone, falling) hǎoxiàng (third tone, dipping) tā (first tone, high and level) yòu (fourth tone, falling) huílái (second tone, rising) le. (neutral tone)

قالت إنّ زوجها تُوفّي منذ عشر سنوات، وإنّها حين سمعت دقّات الساعة شعرت كأنّه عاد.

“后来她每年都来看我一次，”陈师傅说，“这块表是她上个月又送来的，说是有点儿慢。其实我知道，表一点儿问题也没有，她只是想来跟我说说话。”

“Hòulái (fourth tone, falling) tā (first tone, high and level) měi (third tone, dipping) nián (second tone, rising) dōu (first tone, high and level) lái (second tone, rising) kàn (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) yí (second tone, rising) cì,” (fourth tone, falling) Chén (second tone, rising) shīfu (first tone, high and level) shuō, (first tone, high and level) “zhè (fourth tone, falling) kuài (fourth tone, falling) biǎo (third tone, dipping) shì (fourth tone, falling) tā (first tone, high and level) shàng (fourth tone, falling) ge (neutral tone) yuè (fourth tone, falling) yòu (fourth tone, falling) sòng (fourth tone, falling) lái (second tone, rising) de, (neutral tone) shuō (first tone, high and level) shì (fourth tone, falling) yǒudiǎnr (third tone, dipping) màn. (fourth tone, falling) Qíshí (second tone, rising) wǒ (third tone, dipping) zhīdào, (first tone, high and level) biǎo (third tone, dipping) yìdiǎnr (fourth tone, falling) wèntí (fourth tone, falling) yě (third tone, dipping) méiyǒu, (second tone, rising) tā (first tone, high and level) zhǐshì (third tone, dipping) xiǎng (third tone, dipping) lái (second tone, rising) gēn (first tone, high and level) wǒ (third tone, dipping) shuōshuo (first tone, high and level) huà.” (fourth tone, falling)

قال المعلّم تشين: «ومنذ ذلك الحين تأتي لزيارتي مرّة كلّ عام. وقد أحضرت هذه الساعة مرّة أخرى الشهر الماضي، وقالت إنّها تتأخّر قليلًا. لكنّني أعرف أنّ الساعة لا عيب فيها إطلاقًا، وأنّها تريد فقط أن تأتي لتتحدّث معي.»

陈师傅把表轻轻地放回抽屉，接着说：“你看，我修的不只是表，还有人们的回忆。只要还有人需要，我就会一直做下去。”

Chén (second tone, rising) shīfu (first tone, high and level) bǎ (third tone, dipping) biǎo (third tone, dipping) qīngqīng (first tone, high and level) de (neutral tone) fànghuí (fourth tone, falling) chōuti, (first tone, high and level) jiēzhe (first tone, high and level) shuō: (first tone, high and level) “Nǐ (third tone, dipping) kàn, (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) xiū (first tone, high and level) de (neutral tone) bù (fourth tone, falling) zhǐ (third tone, dipping) shì (fourth tone, falling) biǎo, (third tone, dipping) hái (second tone, rising) yǒu (third tone, dipping) rénmen (second tone, rising) de (neutral tone) huíyì. (second tone, rising) Zhǐyào (third tone, dipping) hái (second tone, rising) yǒu (third tone, dipping) rén (second tone, rising) xūyào, (first tone, high and level) wǒ (third tone, dipping) jiù (fourth tone, falling) huì (fourth tone, falling) yìzhí (fourth tone, falling) zuò (fourth tone, falling) xiàqù.” (fourth tone, falling)

أعاد المعلّم تشين الساعة إلى الدرج برفق وتابع: «أترى؟ أنا لا أصلح الساعات فحسب، بل ذكريات الناس أيضًا. وما دام هناك من يحتاج إليّ فسأستمرّ في هذا العمل.»

从那以后，我每次经过他的小店，都会停下来，看一看店里亮着的灯。

Cóng (second tone, rising) nà (fourth tone, falling) yǐhòu, (third tone, dipping) wǒ (third tone, dipping) měi (third tone, dipping) cì (fourth tone, falling) jīngguò (first tone, high and level) tā (first tone, high and level) de (neutral tone) xiǎo (third tone, dipping) diàn, (fourth tone, falling) dōu (first tone, high and level) huì (fourth tone, falling) tíng (second tone, rising) xiàlái, (fourth tone, falling) kàn (fourth tone, falling) yi (neutral tone) kàn (fourth tone, falling) diàn (fourth tone, falling) li (neutral tone) liàng (fourth tone, falling) zhe (neutral tone) de (neutral tone) dēng. (first tone, high and level)

ومنذ ذلك اليوم، كلّما مررت بدكّانه الصغير توقّفت ونظرت إلى المصباح المضاء في داخله.
