介绍： I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story.
我看见我的人生像小说中那棵无花果树一样，枝繁叶茂。
From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked.

介绍： I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story.
我看见我的人生像小说中那棵无花果树一样，枝繁叶茂。
From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked.
在每一根树枝的末梢，一个个美妙的未来，仿佛丰腴的紫色无花果，向我招手，对我眨眼示意。
One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out.
一枚无花果是丈夫、孩子、幸福的家，另一枚是名诗人，又一枚是才学出众的教授，一枚是埃·格，了不起的大编辑，再一枚是欧洲、非洲、南美，另一枚是康斯坦丁、苏格拉底、阿提拉以及一堆姓名古怪、从事非凡职业的情人们，再一枚是奥林匹克女队冠军，在这些无花果的上上下下还有许许多多我不大辨认得出的无花果。
I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose.
我看见自己坐在这棵无花果树的枝桠上，饥肠辘辘，就因为我下不了决心究竟摘取哪一枚果子。
I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.
我哪个都想要，但是选择一枚就意味着失去其余所有的果子。我坐在那儿左右为难的时候，无花果开始萎缩、变黑，然后，扑通，扑通，一枚接着一枚坠落地上，落在我的脚下。
