A floating head and a cat 3(漂浮的女头,神秘的夜猫 03)
I had drunk a lot of water earlier as it’s important when coming into the mountains from sea level or a lower altitude not to drink alcohol but instead drunk a lot of water to stay hydrated and to help acclimate to the high altitude. So with all this water in my belly, I found I had to get up a couple of times in the night and use the bathroom. The lights were off in the bedroom and the door was shut making the room very dark indeed, but still I could see a little bit. It was my second trip to the bathroom, maybe around midnight, and as I went to the bedroom door, I glanced down and saw a cat waiting to get out of the room. My father has no cats, has never had cats as he is allergic to them and as far as I know there has never been a cat in that house, EVER. I could see the cat was striped and looked gray and white and maybe a little brown. It appeared motionless but was gazing at the door the way animals do when they want to get out but are being very patient about it. I thought I was dreaming and kept looking at this cat, rubbing my eyes, looking back down at it but it remained. (Now it is important to the story that I mention that we also had brought our dog and he was asleep in the room with us and as far as I know, he was not awake)
在这之前,我喝了不少水,因为这样就能够在进入高海拔山区不至于脱水,同时还能有助于更快的适应高原反应,但喝酒是不行的。所以,我肚子里全是水,在夜里我不得不频频起床上厕所。卧室里的灯是关着的,紧闭的房门使整个房间更是漆黑一片,不过,我多少还是能够看到点。大约在半夜,那是我第二次起床去上厕所,当我向房门走去的时候,向脚下瞥了一眼,突然看到一只猫伏在那里,它正等着出去。但是我父亲没养猫啊,由于对猫过敏,父亲是从来不养猫的。而且据我所知,在这所房子里也没养任何猫,从来就没有过。但是,我确实看到一只猫,全身布满斑纹,看上去是灰白色,似乎还有点褐色。它在那里一动不动,只是目不转睛地注视着房门,它的姿势就是动物们在想出门时所摆出的那种姿势,不过,这只猫显得非常得耐心。我以为自己是在做梦,注视着这只猫,我揉了揉眼睛,再看了一下,它还在那里。(现在我需要提一点,这对整个故事很重要,我们过来时把我家的那条狗也给带来了,它就跟我们睡在同一房间,不过据我所知,这只狗一直酣睡在那里)
