（单词翻译:单击）

        战争终于过去，活下来的Roy满心欢喜地回到家乡，在火车站遇到了已沦入风尘的恋人Mara。男的是喜出望外、讲起话来喋喋不休；女的却只重复着那一句话“你还活着”：生活的辛酸、无奈与阴错阳差，都在下面这短短的几句话里：

        Roy: Mara! Mara! I can't believe it! It is you, isn't it? It is really you!
        Mara: Oh Roy!
        Roy: It's really you! Let me look at you -- I'm not dreaming, am I? To think of it--you're waiting for me, it's--it's a miracle!
        Mara: Oh Roy, you're alive!
        Roy: Several months and I've been waiting for this moment and I began to think it would never come. How did you know I was coming? Did you telephone? Mother...? Oh, don't darling, now lift your head. Do you know...Where's your nerve? It's over, darling, it's all over. We're together for always.

        Mara: Roy, you're alive.
        Roy: Yes, extravagantly¹.
        Mara: Oh, my poor darling, come, we'll go sit down.

重点讲解

        Roy认为，Mara在车站等他，这是老天的安排，是奇迹（miracle）。他并不知道，战争期间报纸上登出的他阵亡的消息以及生活的压力，已经迫使Mara落入风尘，她是来火车站拉客的。

        Roy一个劲地自言自语，“让我看看你”“我是不是在做梦”“想想看，你在等我！”“你怎么知道我今天回来？打电话了？给妈妈么？”。他太兴奋了，战争没有夺去他的生命，他又能和家里人、和他心爱的女人在一起了。

        面队爱人的兴高采烈，Mara的反应是不知所措。无论对方说什么，她只叨念着“你还活着（alive a. 活着的）。Roy却错误地理解为她是单纯地高兴而忘了回应，回答了一句，是的，还活着，很奢侈。extravagantly是副词，这里使用的就是词的本意，奢侈地、难得地。
