It is time for the baby's birthday party: a white cake, strawberry-marshmallow ice cream, a bottle of champagne saved from another party. In the evening, after she has gone to sleep, I kneel beside the crib and touch her face, where it is pressed against the slats, with mine. She is an open and trusting child, unprepared for and unaccustomed to the ambushes of family life, and perhaps it is just as well that I can offer her little of that life. I would like to give her more. I would like to promise her that she will grow up with a sense of her cousins and of rivers and of her great-grandmother's teacups, would like to pledge her a picnic on a river with fried chicken and her hair uncombed, would like to give her home for her birthday, but we live differently now and I can promise her nothing like that. I give her a xylophone and a sundress from Madeira, and promise to tell her a funny story.

　　女兒的生日聚會開始了——有白蛋糕，草莓蜜餞冰激凌，和一瓶從別的聚會上留下來的香檳。晚上，女兒睡著后，我跪在小床邊，面頰貼著她那緊挨著床欄的小臉蛋。女兒性情開朗，相信別人，對于家庭生活的陷阱既不知曉，也無防范。也許，我還是讓她少過這種生活吧。我倒是愿意給與她更多別的東西。我倒愿意許諾讓堂兄弟姊妹的手足之情、潺潺流淌的小河、以及外曾祖母的茶杯伴著她成長;愿意答應帶她去河邊野炊，認她披散著頭發(fā)，啃炸雞;愿意給她一個真正的家作為生日禮物。但是，我們的生活不同了啊，我無法許諾給予她這一切!我只給了她一把木琴和來自馬德里的背心裙，還答應給她講個有趣的故事。
