I stood up.

"Here," I said, "put it in my account." The sound of my voice seemed to mean, "Let us do this painful thing while we feel that we want to do it."

He took the money and gave it to another clerk.

He made me write the sum on a bit of paper and sign my name in a book. I no longer knew what I was doing. The bank seemed to swim before my eyes.
他让我在一张小纸片上写下金额并在一个账簿上签名。我已经不知道自己在做什么，银行似乎在我眼前旋转起来。
"Is it in the account?" I asked in a hollow, shaking voice.
“存入账户了？”我用空洞发颤的声音问道。
"It is," said the accountant.
“是的。”会计师说。
