My Sixth Christmas

(Or---just torturing myself, as one presses the tongue against a sore tooth? No , memory says not like that --- but to keep myself from ever being such a fool again: suffering now, to keep this awful thing from ever happening again.
或者是自己折磨自己,就好像用舌头舔一颗作痛的牙齿一样?不,我记得不是那样的---而是要我再不当这样的傻瓜:现在痛苦一时,让这种可怕的事永远不再发生。
