关于流星雨 About Meteor Showers
by: MuMu
传说清晨有流星雨,狮子座,大范围的。不知道有多少人特意起来围观,周围的朋友早晨见面提到这件事情,纷纷感慨老了老了
八年前同样的夜晚,整栋楼的孩子趴在窗口,等待流星划过。有直接裹着被子坐到笼子里的,有拿着手电筒到处照的,等的不耐烦了,楼下的男生开始跟楼上的女生聊天,越聊越high,貌似还有唱起歌来的…流星闪现的瞬间,全楼的沸腾,那是郭店东校的黄埔一期,当年的各位现在都散布在哪里呢?
大学的时候好像也有过一次大范围的流星雨,一点印象都没有,只是听说当天晚上楼道里头乱哄哄的人的脚步声,我是一点都没有听到…只记得13楼火灾的时候,看一MM的日志描述当时的情形说,起初听到楼道里隆隆的脚步声以为又是有流星雨便没当回事儿,后来出来一看才发现是着火了…

When the waiting grew unbearable, the boys downstairs started chatting with the girls upstairs, and the more they talked the more excited they got—someone even seemed to start singing… The instant a meteor flashed, the whole building erupted. That was the first graduating class of Guodian East Campus. Where have all those people scattered to now?
There seemed to have been another large meteor shower once during college, but I have no memory of it at all. I only heard that the hallway was full of noisy footsteps that night, and I didn’t hear a thing… I only remember that during the fire in Building 13, I read a girl’s diary entry describing how at first she heard the thunder of footsteps in the corridor and assumed there must be another meteor shower, so she paid no attention. Only when she went outside did she realize the building was on fire…
