He spent the rest of that night walking the streets of Paris. He watched the moon rise in the sky, he listened to the sounds of the River Seine flowing through the heart of the city, and he thought calmly about the past, and the future. He thought about all the deaths that the city had already seen…and he thought about Lucie's gentle, loving face and her sad, sad eyes.
那天晚上剩下的时间他都用于漫步巴黎的街道 。他看见月亮升起在天空中,听见塞纳河流经这个城市中心时的声响,他平静地想到了过去,还有未来 。他想到了这个城市所经历过的死亡……他也想到了路茜那温柔、可爱的脸庞以及她悲伤、忧郁的眼睛 。
