倒著數(shù)譯文：

醫(yī)生把蘇拉到一邊，說：“她的病只有，這么說吧，只有一成希望，這一成希望在于她自己要不要活下去。試著鼓勵她多想想有希望的事情、想想未來、想想活下去。”蘇拿了幾張紙和一支鋼筆來到約翰西的房間，開始畫鋼筆畫，試著讓約翰西打起精神。約翰西的眼睛是睜著的，但并沒有看蘇。相反，她望向窗外，倒數(shù)著：“十，九，八，七……”⑤

“試著睡一會兒吧，”蘇說道。然后她去叫鄰居伯曼先生來做繪畫模特。他是個失敗的畫手，40年來，他從未創(chuàng)作出他所渴望的杰作。蘇告訴他約翰西想要像樹葉一樣流逝。伯曼不可置信地喊道：“世界上竟有這種傻子，認(rèn)為藤葉落掉他們就得死?約翰西小姐實(shí)在不應(yīng)該躺在這里生病?？傆幸惶煳乙嬕环茏?，然后我們就可以離開這里?！辈吞K望著窗外的藤蔓，發(fā)現(xiàn)藤枝上只剩下最后一片葉子了。更糟糕的是，外面下起冰冷的雨來，雨夾著雪。⑨Thenextmorning,Johnsywokeandaskedforthecurtainstobeopened.Oneleafremainedonthevine,bravelyholdingoninthewindandrain.“Itwillfalltoday.AndIwilldiewithit.holdon堅(jiān)持隨...消失要求⑩Thefollowingday,Johnsyaskedagainforthecurtainstobeopened.Theleafwasstillthere!譯文：
