　　落花生虽然去了多日了，但是他所留给我的印象，永是不可磨灭
的。我几次想把它撇开了，它总是不住的来复，正和乒乓台上的一粒
球子一样。这两天，似乎渐渐的觉得模糊些；昨天偶然整理书桌，翻
出一个照相机的空匣子，而落花生又站在我跟前了。

　　Although "Peanuts" had left several days ago, the 
impression he left behind is indelibly etched on my mind. I 
tried several times to wipe him off my mind, but he kept 
bouncing back like a ping-pong ball on the table tennis 
table. In the last couple of days, my memory of him began 
gradually to blur; however, as I was tidying up my writing 
desk yesterday, the empty camera case turned up and the 
image of Peanuts again stood right in front of me again.

　　是的，这个照相机的空匣子，算是他所留给我的纪念品了。当他
初来的时候，就带着这个，像一个旅行者佩着水壶般的斜挂在身旁。
那时，我心里便觉得有些奇特，为什么他在这个时候，还有心情玩着
这种东西？只是不便问他，等到我替他介绍给几个在座的朋友，一一
通了姓名，领教，久仰的客气了一番之后，他还是佩着那个东西，但
是看他的样子，又不是寒暄了几句就要走的。他很从容的坐下了，吃
茶了，抽烟了，谈起他自己的英雄史了，只是不想暂时解除那样累赘
的东西。倒是一个先来的朋友，体贴周到，觉得那于他很是不便，请
他解下。我连忙上前去接，才知道那是一个空的匣子，里面的照相机
，不知哪里去了。他很不好意思的笑着说：“带着玩的，照相机早已
丢了。”不知怎样，他这个片刻不离的匣子，后来走的时候，竟不带
去，留到今天，给我重现着。

　　That's right, one can say that this empty camera case is
a memento he left behind for me. When he first came, this 
was the very empty camera case that he was carrying, slung 
diagonally across his shoulder just like how a traveler 
would carry his water bottle. At that time, I thought it 
rather odd. Given the situation he was in, how could he 
still be in a mood to indulge in photography. But I did not 
feel it appropriate to ask him then. After I had introduced 
him to a few friends present and we had exchanged the usual 
courtesies, he still had the camera case slung over his 
body. It did not appear as though he was just going to 
exchange some pleasantries and then depart. Instead, he sat 
down quite purposefully, drank his tea, lighted his 
cigarette and started to recount all the marvelous things he
had done, and he made no effort to at least temporarily rid
