Comprehension TranslationTranslation1.最近，我得了一次感冒。刚开始我并不清楚自己怎么了，只是感觉身体里发生了一些微妙的变化。但这些变化并没有使我想到什么病，及其相应的护理措施电热毯、药片、维生素和几盒纸巾。我只是觉得迷迷糊糊像做梦一样。2.我恍恍惚惚地过了一天。工作好像离我很遥远，我只是看着自己的两只手在干活。周围人的面孔倒也能认出来，但感觉有些变形，就像从超广角镜头里看到的一样。有人跟我说话时，我的注意力多集中在对方嘴巴的一张一合上，却不太明白他/她究竟在说什么。我觉得我的身体里仿佛住进了一个陌生人。Para.12Para.12BACKBACKReading Comprehension TranslationTranslation3.傍晚时分，我开始打喷嚏了。我如释重负这说明我得的病不过是一次普通的感冒！于是我放松下来，安然处之。我本可以按照原计划去赴宴的，但因为这感冒，厨艺高超的女主人捧出的蛋奶酥在我吃起来可能跟豆子没什么区别。所有的声音在我耳里也变得闷闷的，就像城里刚刚开始下雪时一样。我能想象自己在宴会上问坐在我右边的那位滔滔不绝的客人：“您刚才说什么来着？Para.3Para.3BACKBACKReading Comprehension TranslationTranslation4.不，我得替别人想想，还是在家呆着吧。我的体温在慢慢升高，这感觉却还不赖。我垫着两只枕头，躺在厚厚的被子里，任由电视机开着，自己却渐渐坠入梦乡，梦里充斥着闹哄哄的情景喜剧演员和剧中事先录好的笑声。那天晚上，我睡得很沉，到了第二天早上还都不想起床。5.我的亲朋好友们都不在身边，这样我就成了“感冒星球”上的唯一居民，不过这种感觉也挺奇妙的。Para.4Para.45 5BACKBACKReading Comprehension TranslationTranslation6.电话响了，由于感冒，我的嗓音变得沙哑而有磁性，这让来电者同情不已，但我自己却觉得挺有趣的。“得个感冒也挺不错的啊。”我说。“我差不多一年感冒一次。现在我正享受着感冒呢。”7.“你的意思是说你卧床不起，然后让别人都来照顾你、心疼你吗？”我没敢说身边根本没人照顾。那肯定会惹得她再一次同情心泛滥。不过我自己自得其乐地思忖：她应该羡慕我才是。Para.67Para.67BACKBACKReading Comprehension TranslationTranslation8.即使身边有人照顾，我恐怕也难以察觉到。前一天还能看得清清楚楚的东西，现在都成了模糊的一片。我基本上听不见，也懒得开口说话。我仿佛变成了一个修行瑜伽的圣人，所有的感觉都消失了。我既不难过也不开心，只是躺在昏暗的卧室里，清晰感受着自己的每一次呼吸。我甚至还能感觉到自己的内脏活动，就像拥抱一位亲密无比的老朋友。9.这种温暖，这种自怜，让我感觉好了很多。我起床给自己做了些食物，都是我在感冒时喜欢吃的：西红柿汤加牛奶，还有饼干。吃完这样的一顿饭之后，我总是能对自己虚弱的身体柔情倍增。Para.89Para.89BACKBACKReading Comprehension TranslationTranslation10.接下来我又打了几个盹，做了一些梦。11.第二天早晨，我头脑清醒了。感觉双腿微微有些痉挛，这提醒我该出门散步了。不知不觉中，我又回到了声与光的世界，耳边又充满了嘈杂声。我的健康把我从天堂赶回了人间。Para.1011Para.1011BACKBACKReading Comprehension
