Reading

\n
\n
The blue eyes that looked at him from outside the door were like the light through a magnifying glass (放大镜) when it is at its brightest and smallest, when paper and leaves begin to smoke.
\n
“Hey,” said the man in the door. “Remember me?”
\n
“Yes,” the boy said, whispering. “Rick.”
\n

\n

“Let’s look at you,” Rick said, dropping into a chair. Then slowly he felt more at home, and he became once more just Rick, as if nothing had happened. There were lines about his eyes, and deeper lines on his cheeks (面颊), but he looked like——just Rick, lined by sunlight and smiling.

“When I look at you,” he said, “You make me think about me, for we look like each other.”
