I first knew the book titled The Three of Us in a column on the magazine of Reading. Spurred by deep interests, I decided to buy this book. Busy with study, I failed to finish reading the book at that time. Until recently, I settled down to finish the second half left.

　　偶然瞥见《读书》栏目在推介《我们仨》这本书，使让对它兴致盎然，于是，我便买回来，打算好好品读一番。但是，由于当时学业繁忙，就没有读完，直到最近，才将这读了一半的书，静下心来好好地读完。

　　The Three of Us, written by Yang Jiang at the age of 92, is a book to recall the past days full of happiness, hardships, love and sadness, spent with her husband, Mr. Qian Zhongshu and her sole daughter, Qian Yuan.

　　《我们仨》乃文豪杨绛先生在其九十二岁高龄时写下的一本书，以追忆仙逝的丈夫钱钟书先生和独女钱瑗，回忆一家三口那些快乐而艰难、爱与痛纠缠的岁月。

　　In the beginning, I did not understand what the words mean in the second part, such as boat, ancient post road, roadhouse and the dreamlike “long long dream”. Later, I understood these words are a portrayal of the life journey spent by her family together.

　　伊始，我并不理解书中第二部分写到的小船、古驿道、客栈以及那似真似幻的“万里长梦”是什么意思，但读到后来，我才明白，这是他们一家人携手走过的最后一段人生路的真实写照。

　　The third part of the book started from her post-marriage life, study at Oxford, birth of Qian Yuan, return to motherland during the period of Anti-Japanese War, working in the countryside during the Great Cultural Revolution and family reunion. From birth to death, from gathering to departure, all the ups and downs, happiness and sadness, and pains and wishes of the 63 years from 1935 to 1998 are narrated in a fine and detailed manner. From the simple and unadorned words full of true emotions, I felt the clinging watch between two generations, the trying wait and profound emotions among them. Despite that they experienced lots of hardships during that turbulent times and suffered the torture of pains, all these were so small things as compared with the deep love between them supporting each other to spend the sixty-three years full of ups and downs.

　　该书的第三部分从结婚之后、牛津求学、钱瑗出生、抗战回国、文革下乡和团圆这几件事着手，把他们由生到死、由聚到散，从一九三五年到一九九八年这风风雨雨的六十三年中，彼此的快乐、悲伤、痛苦和希冀，以细腻的叙述，娓娓道来。通过杨绛先生那平淡、质朴和真情的文字，我感受到了两代人执着的守望，煎熬的等待和相濡以沫的情感。虽然，在那段动荡的岁月中，他们经历了千辛万苦，遭遇着病痛的折磨，可是这些在他们面前，却显得如此渺小。他们用爱互相搀扶着，执手一道走过六十三年的跌宕岁月。

　　Yang Jiang recalled the past with plain words, from which I felt the taste of warmness and her cool state of mind, like the calm and soft sunshine in winter, with neither heart-stricken words and sentences, nor piercing cries, or not even a slight of complaints in those difficult times of the Great Cultural Revolution. Every line is filled with calmness and misses for her husband and her daughter, touching the readers deeply. Between the lines, the harmony, peace, childlike life attitude and the family’s optimism and open-mindedness stand vividly in the writing. Just like the words at the end of the book, it is a long long dream full of searching and seeking; and this is a simple and warm scholar’s family with mutual help and support, gathering and losses.

　　杨绛先生在甜蜜中回首着往事，笔触平缓却温暖，而且洋溢着淡然的味道，就如同冬日的阳光一样平静而柔和，即便在最艰难的文革岁月，也没有一丝一毫悲痛欲绝的词句，更没有撕心裂肺的肝肠寸断，哪怕一点点儿的怨天尤人的意味都没有。处处都洋溢着一种淡定和思念，对丈夫和女儿深深的思念之情，令读者为之动容，为之泪奔。在字里行间的是一家三口人和睦、融洽和童心未泯的生活态度，以至于作者一家人的乐观精神和豁达境界跃然纸上，令人叹为观止。就像书中作结部分所言说的那样，这是一个寻寻觅觅的万里长梦，一个单纯温馨的学者家庭。他们相守相助、相聚相失。

　　“The three of us” is the most common combination in a family on the earth and also the most ordinary combination. But for Yang Jiang, she said that in case of difficulties, Zhongshu always takes responsibilities together with me, so difficulties are no more difficult; moreover, we have the company and help of A Yuan, so even the tough matters will finally become sweet things. With even a little happiness, we can become quite happy. The three of us is really an unusual encounter!

　　“我们仨”——是天下家庭中最常见的组合，也是最平淡无奇的组合。然而，杨绛先生说“碰到困难时，锺书总和我一起承当，如此，困难就不复困难;还有个阿瑗的相伴相助，不论什么苦涩艰辛的事，都能变得有滋有味。我们即使稍有一丝快乐，也定然会变得快乐异常。所以，我们仨是非同寻常的邂逅”。

　　In spite of vicissitudes of life, they still help and support each other in difficult times. Though “the three of us” were finally separated, the sincere emotions and true love cannot be cut and the meaning of a family is fully illustrated here.

　　虽然，历经沧桑，但他们始终相濡以沫。尽管“我们仨”最终还是分道扬镳了，却难以割舍挚情真爱。而家的意义，也于此，得到了最尽情的诠释。
