On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.
“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”
Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.
“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”
Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion (团聚).
“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”
Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.
“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”
Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.
几年前，尤多拉·韦尔蒂(Eudora Welty)有一次去纽约旅行，她决定请几个纽约朋友出去吃饭。他们在东区一家舒适的咖啡馆坐了下来，几分钟后，另一位顾客走近了他们的桌子。
“嘿，你不是从密西西比来的吗?”这位优雅、白发苍苍的作家记得陌生人问过他。“我也是密西西比州人。”
她毫不犹豫地加入了韦尔蒂的派对。当她的晚餐伙伴出现时，她也拉过一把椅子。
“他们开始告诉我有关密西西比的所有消息，”韦尔蒂说。“我不知道我的纽约朋友在想什么。”
在纽约下雨的夜晚，出租车比阳光还稀少。当这群人起身准备离开时，外面已经下起了倾盆大雨。韦尔蒂的新朋友们立刻派了一个服务员去叫出租车。在返回市中心的酒店途中，她在大城市的朋友们惊讶地发现，事情发生了变化，他们的大苹果晚宴变成了密西西比州的聚会。
“我的朋友们说:‘现在我们相信你的故事了，’”韦尔蒂补充道。“我说:‘现在你知道了。就是这些人让我写的。’”
韦尔蒂坐在她房间的沙发上，身材苗条，穿着一件简单的灰色连衣裙，看起来对这个解释很满意。
“他们不是我编造出来的，”她谈到过去50年左右她小说中的人物时说。“我不需要。”
美容师、调酒师、钢琴师和戴紫色帽子的人，Welty的顾客来自于与老朋友一起度过的下午，来自于在她的家乡密西西比州杰克逊的街道上散步，来自于在公交车上听到的谈话。78岁的韦尔蒂的左耳已经失去了功能，这让她很恼火。有时，坐在公共汽车或火车上，她只听到一个特别有趣的故事的片段。以上翻译结果来自有道神经网络翻译（YNMT）· 通用场景
