I'm going on this march, Ashok.

我要参加这个游行，Ashok。

" She's nearly there… Himmler had something similar… " Ashok stayed where he was.

“她快到了… … 希姆莱有类似的东西… … ” Ashok 留在原地。

Ashok had to call twice before I registered what he'd said.

在我记下他说的话之前，Ashok 不得不打了两次电话。

Ashok thrust his phone at me.

阿肖克把他的手机塞给我。

" Has Ashok ever hurt you? " Meena turned swiftly from the stove to face me.

“Ashok 伤害过你吗？” Meena 迅速从火炉前转身面对我。

Ashok whistled as Dean Martin and I ran down the last flight of stairs to the ground floor.

当迪恩·马丁和我跑下最后一段楼梯到一楼时， 阿肖克吹了口哨。

" Sam? " She nodded a greeting at Ashok.

“山姆？”她向阿肖克点头致意。

Ashok was under the awning, chatting to another doorman, who moved away as soon as I approached.

阿肖克在遮阳篷下， 和另一个看门人聊天，我一走近他就走开了。

We were out through the lobby and past Ashok in a blur, me just able to catch his muffled greeting.

我们穿过大厅， 模糊地从 Ashok 身边经过，我只能听到他含糊不清的问候。

I even offered to help Ashok shovel snow off the walkway—anything to stop me having to sit and contemplate my own life.

我什至提出要帮助 Ashok 铲走人行道上的雪——任何让我不必坐下来思考自己的生活的事情。

Ashok, who had been away for a few days, listened to my description of this turn of events with shock, outrage, then delight.

离开几天的阿肖克听了我对这件事的描述，先是震惊，然后是愤怒，然后是欣喜。

Ashok, beside her, stooped to greet a friend's small boy, picking him up and lifting him above the crowd so that he could see better.

阿肖克在她旁边， 弯腰迎接一个朋友的小男孩，把他抱起来， 举到人群上方， 这样他就能看得更清楚。

I'm not sure what I had expected of Ashok's wife, but it was not this fierce-looking woman in jeans and a bandanna, her curly hair tumbling down her back.

我不确定我对 Ashok 的妻子有什么期望，但不是这个穿着牛仔裤和头巾、卷发披在背上的凶悍女人。

And I wrote: I ran down the stairs, handed it to Ashok for posting and ran away again just as quickly, pretending I couldn't hear him asking if everything was okay.

我写道：我跑下楼梯，把它交给 Ashok 发布， 然后又以同样快的速度逃跑， 假装我听不到他问是否一切都好。
