I discovered the power of fear when I became stuck to my driveway, as if my feet were crazy—glued to the cement(水泥).As much as I tried, I could not move them. The realization that my daughters were playing in Nancy's house, just one-half block away, paralyzed(麻痹) my legs, making me unable to move when I neared the end of our driveway. Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trees on the other side of the street and was enveloping three houses, making them barely visible. Nancy's house was one of them.
I tried to call out for my daughters hoping to see them run safely to my arms, but my voice was also stuck - stuck in my throat with no intention of coming out. There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect the two little girls I loved more than even I had realized.
Although trapped in a body that couldn't move or speak, I could still hear. I could hear other mothers anxiously calling their children. I could hear a frightening silence that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine. As the alarm announced, "We're on our way," it instantly dissolved the crazy glue that had held my feet to the cement and it unlocked the soundproof box that had silenced my voice. I was free to make sure my daughters were safe.
As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran toward me from across the street. They had come home to tell me about the fire in the garage next to Nancy's house. Not only did my feet and voice work now, but my eyes were also in good working order and had no trouble producing tears.
当我被困在车道上时,我发现了恐惧的力量,就好像我的脚疯了一样——粘在水泥上(水泥).尽管我尽了最大的努力,但我还是无法移动它们。当我意识到我的女儿们在南希的房子里玩耍时,就在半个街区外,我瘫痪了(麻痹) 我的腿,当我接近车道尽头时,我无法移动。街道另一边的Sycamore Maple树后面冒出浓烟,笼罩着三栋房子,几乎看不见。Nancy的房子就是其中之一。
我试着喊我的女儿们,希望看到她们安全地跑到我的怀里,但我的声音也被卡住了——卡在喉咙里,不想出来。我站在那里,无助、瘫痪,被恐惧噤声,无法保护我爱得比我意识到的还要深的两个小女孩。
尽管我被困在一个无法移动或说话的身体里,但我仍然能听到。我能听到其他母亲焦急地呼唤他们的孩子。我能看到笼罩在附近的可怕的寂静,而不是孩子们通常快乐的声音。最后,我能听到消防车的警报。正如警报所宣布的,“我们在路上,”它立即溶解了把我的脚粘在水泥上的疯狂胶水,并打开了让我沉默的隔音盒。我可以自由地确保我的女儿们的安全。
当我继续沿着车道走下去时,两个小女孩,我的两个小女儿,从街对面向我跑来。她们回家告诉我南希家旁边车库着火的事。我的脚和声音现在不仅正常了,而且我的眼睛也很好,很容易流泪。
