The Earl of Tennessee
Earl lives next door in Edna`s basement,behind the flower boxes Edna paints green each year,behind the dusty geraniums.We used to sit on the flower boxes until the day Tito saw a cockroach with a spot of green paint on its head.Now we sit on the steps that swing around the basement apatrment where Earl lives.
Earl works nights.His blinds are always closed during the day. Sometimes he comes out and tells us to keep quiet.The little wooden door that has wedged shut the dark for so long opens with a sigh and lets out a breath of mold and dampness,like books that have been left out in the rain.This is the only time we see Earl except for when he comes and goes to work. He has weo little black dogs that go everywhere with him. They don`t walk like ordinary dogs,but leap and somersault like an apostrophe and comma.
田納西的埃爾
埃爾住在隔壁埃德娜家的地下室里，在埃德娜每年都要漆成綠色的花箱后面，在那些灰蒙蒙的天竺葵后面。我們以前常坐在花箱上，直到有一天，提陀看到一只腦袋上有一點綠漆的蟑螂?，F(xiàn)在我們坐在拐向埃爾住的地下室的樓梯步上。
埃爾上夜班。他的百葉窗在白天總是合上的。有時他會出來叫我們保持安靜。已經(jīng)開裂的小木門把黑暗關(guān)在里面那么久，現(xiàn)在它打開了，呀的一聲嘆息，吐出一口潮濕的霉氣，就像放在外面淋過雨的書，這是惟一一次我們不是在他回來和去上班的時候看到他。他有兩條與他形影不離的小黑犬。它們不是像平常的狗那么走路，而是
一蹦一跳，翻著筋斗前進，像一個撇號和一個逗號。。
