Jordi Casals, 28

The first cabin leaves at eight, but I am at the bullwheel by six, a lamp between my teeth, checking the grips one by one. Andorra City is still dark below me. At this hour the mountain belongs to me and the wind, and neither of us talks much.译第一班缆车八点出发，可我六点就站在转向轮旁，叼着手电，一个一个检查抱索器。山下的安道尔城还黑着。这个钟点，山只属于我和风，而我们俩都不太说话。

The mustard sweater was knitted by my aunt and is too warm for anywhere except the top station in January. I wear it under the work jacket, under the orange vest, where nobody sees it. That is somehow the best part.译那件芥末黄的毛衣是姑妈织的，除了一月的山顶站，别处穿都嫌热。我把它套在工装夹里，再套进橙色马甲，没人看得见。这大概正是它最好的地方。

Ten years of dark brown canvas, and the pockets have learned their shapes: a small screwdriver, a rag, a folded inspection sheet. There is a lighter in there I no longer use. Some things you carry because throwing them out would cost more effort than keeping them.译深棕色的帆布夹克穿了十年，口袋都记住了自己的形状：一把小螺丝刀、一块抹布、一张折好的检查单。里面还有一只我早就不用的打火机。有些东西带在身上，只因为丢掉比留着更费劲。

Once a summer I drive down out of the mountains and stand at the sea, and every time it surprises me that the water keeps moving without anyone asking it to. No cables, no timetable. I ate a sandwich on the sand and drove home the same evening.译每年夏天我会有一次开下山，站到海边。每次都还是觉得意外：水自己在动，没有人要求它动。没有缆索，没有时刻表。我在沙子上吃了个三明治，当天傍晚就开回去了。

In summer I trade cables for guardrails on the hiking paths, setting posts into rock that does not want them. Tourists pass and say it must be nice to work outdoors. It is. It is also twelve kilos of steel on my back and a knee that complains.译夏天我把缆索换成步道上的护栏，把立柱打进那些并不乐意的岩石里。游客路过，说在户外工作一定很舒服。确实舒服。也确实要背着十二公斤的钢，外加一条会抱怨的膝盖。

A neighbour's watch stopped, so it is on my kitchen table tonight, the back open, the little gears laid out in the order I took them. I am not a watchmaker. I only like things that can be understood by opening them.译邻居的旧表停了，今晚它摊在我的厨房桌上，后盖打开，小齿轮按我拆下来的顺序排好。我不是修表匠。我只是喜欢那种打开就能被弄懂的东西。

After the last cabin is parked, the cables settle for a long time, a low sound almost below hearing. I stand in the dark and wait for it to finish. Then I lock the door and walk down through streets where the shop lights are just going off.译最后一节车厢归位之后，缆索要很久才安静下来，那声音低得几乎听不见。我站在黑里等它结束。然后锁门，穿过店铺灯光正一盏盏熄掉的街道往下走。

Being single in a town this size means the waiter already knows what I order: soup, bread, one beer, the table by the window. I do not mind eating alone. I mind only when the conversation at the next table gets quieter as I sit down.译在这种规模的小镇里单身，意味着服务员早就知道我要点什么：汤、面包、一杯啤酒，靠窗那张桌子。我不介意一个人吃饭。我只是在坐下时隔壁桌忽然压低声音的那一刻，有点在意。
