第11章 安静的誓言

盼秋轻轻翻了一页提纲,声音缓下来了一些,但眼中藏着一点笑意。

“Um… this might be a bit of a shift in tone.” (“我接下来的问题可能有点‘风格突变’。”)

Ethan 轻笑了一声。

“Go for it.” (“没关系,尽管问。”)

盼秋轻声说:

“I saw on your faculty page that you’ve officiated weddings?” (“我在你学院主页上看到你主持过婚礼?”)

Ethan 边微笑着边点头说道:

“I have. A few, actually.” (“是的。主持过几场。”)

“That’s… quite unexpected. What made you start doing that?” (“这个有点出人意料。你是怎么开始做这件事的?”)

她的语气略带轻松,但不是八卦式的,而是从“研究者对人的情感实践”角度好奇。

Ethan笑了笑,像在回忆一场有点手忙脚乱又出奇温馨的闹剧。

“Well… the first time was not exactly planned.” (“嗯……第一次,其实完全不是计划好的。”)

他轻轻笑了一下,语气像在讲某种天降任务。

“It was my friend’s wedding—well, technically, she’s like a sister to me. We grew up next door. I even became her son's godfather.” (“那是我朋友的婚礼——更准确地说,她就像我姐姐一样,我们是从小一起长大的邻居。我还是她孩子的教父。”)

他停顿了一下,像是在回忆那个画面。

“The ceremony was all set. Beautiful outdoor venue, flowers everywhere, guests already arriving…” (“婚礼一切都安排妥当了。户外的场地很漂亮,鲜花装点得满满当当,宾客也已经开始陆续到了……”)

他叹了一口气,笑里带着点不可思议的语气。

“And then—just two hours before it started—the officiant called and canceled. Some emergency.” (“结果——就在婚礼开始前两个小时,主持人打电话来说临时有事,来不了了。”)

Ethan摊了摊手,像是回到那个当下的混乱场景。

“There was this huge panic. She was crying. Her mom was on the verge of a meltdown. And her dad—just looked at me and said, ‘You’re calm. You talk well. Can’t you just… do it?’” (“场面一片混乱。她在哭,她妈妈快崩溃了。然后有人——好像是她爸爸——看着我说:‘你挺冷静的,说话也得体,不然你来主持吧?’”)

他笑了笑,眼里浮起一点无奈和温柔的光。

“I thought they were joking. But fifteen minutes later, I was googling ‘how to become a wedding officiant’ on my phone.” (“我还以为他们是在开玩笑。但十五分钟后,我已经在用手机搜索‘如何成为合法婚礼主持人’。”)

“Turns out, in our state, it’s not that hard. You can get ordained online in, like, ten minutes.” (“后来我发现,在我们这个州,其实挺简单的。你只要在网上申请注册一下,大概十分钟就搞定了。”)

盼秋忍不住轻笑了一下。

“Did you actually do it right there? At the wedding venue?” (“你是当场就注册的吗?就在婚礼现场?”)

Ethan点点头,半是认真半是自嘲。

“Yep. Sitting on a picnic bench in a suit, with spotty Wi-Fi, trying to make sure I spelled my name right on the form.” (“对。我穿着西装坐在一个野餐长椅上,用断断续续的Wi-Fi填表,还一边确认自己有没有拼错名字。”)

盼秋笑出声:

“So how did it go?” (“那后来怎么样?”)

Ethan低头,手指轻轻敲了敲桌面。 本章未完,请点击下一页继续阅读! 第1页/共2页
