TED演讲｜真正厉害的人，都戒掉了玻璃心！(5)

当他和家人朋友一起时，我却孤单的在一个新的国度。我们都非常想念对方，但那时候国际长途都很贵，我们一周只打的起五分钟的电话。当我们生日快到了的时候，那是我们第一个没在一起过的生日。我们决定奢侈一把，在那个星期聊上十分钟。
I spent the morning pacing around my room, waiting for him to call -- and waiting ... and waiting. But the phone didn"t ring. Given the time difference, I assumed, "OK, he"s out with friends, he"ll call later." There were no cell phones then. But he didn"t. And I began to realize that after being away for over 10 months, he no longer missed me the way I missed him.
我那天早上在房间里踱来踱去，等着我哥哥给我打过来－我等啊等啊，电话就是不响。由于时差的关系，我就想，“好吧，他一定是和朋友在一起，他晚点儿会打来的。”那时候也没有手机。但他始终没打来。我开始意识到，在我离开十个月以后，他不再像我想他那样想我了。
I knew he would call in the morning, but that night was one of the saddest and longest nights of my life. I woke up the next morning. I glanced down at the phone, and I realized I had kicked it off the hook when pacing the day before. I stumbled out of bed, I put the phone back on the receiver, and it rang a second later. And it was my brother, and boy, was he pissed.
我知道他早上会打来，但那一晚是我一生中最伤心、最漫长的一晚。第二天一早醒来，我瞅了一眼电话，我意识到，来回踱步时我把电话线踹下来了。我迷迷糊糊的跳下床，我刚把电话插回接口，一秒钟之后电话就响了。是我哥哥，他可气坏了。
