I was only ill once and that came of eating an unripe pear.

　　我唯一一次生病是因為吃了未熟的梨。

　　Sometimes I carry a book out under the pear trees and sit in the dappled shade

　　I could feel a knot of fear in my throat.

　　They are unlikely to get here on time, I fear.

　　These people have been living for years under the shadow of fear.
