Looking at a pile of old photos, I couldn’t help feeling rather regretful.
看着一堆老照片,心里掠过一丝丝歉意。
I’ve never got into the habit of sorting out photos. However, it’s almost a habit of mine, a bad habit at that, to have photos taken thoughtlessly. Thus, like the saying ’many a little makes a mickle’, photos have been piling up in my childhood to womanhood. In spite of that, those black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are scarcely kept, except a few survivals regarded as antiques. A bald baby picture of me that I treasured, the only one left, is now missing.
一向没有整理照片的习惯,却有喜欢盲目拍照的毛病。从小到大,聚沙成塔,所以家里放着不少照片。可惜的是,孩提时代的“古董”黑白相片甚少,婴儿时仅存的一张秃头美照也已不知去向。
