He went to the door and knocked gently. He knew almost immediately that someone was inside the house. He could not hear anything, but he was sure the knock was bringing someone to the door and he was most eager to see who this person would be his woman named Rosa Sandoval who was now to heat of murder in the world and to feel it in herself. The door was not a long time opening, but there was no hurry in the way it moved on its hinges. The movement of the door was as if, whoever she was, she and nothing in the world to fear. Then the door was open, and there she was. 论文代写 To Homer the Mexican woman was beautiful. He could see that she had been patient all her life, so that now, after years of it, her lips were set in a gentle and saintly smile. But like all people who never receive telegrams the appearance of a messenger at the front door is full of terrible implication. Homer knew that Mrs. Rosa Sandoval was shocked to see him. Her first word was the first word of all surprise. She said Oh, as if instead of a messenger she had thought of opening the door to someone she had know a long time and would be pleased to sit down with. Before she spoke again she studied Homers eyes and Homer Knew that she knew the message was not a welcome one. 作文 /zuowen/ You have a telegram? she said. 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ It wasnt Homers fault. His work was to deliver telegrams. Even so, it seemed to him that he was part of the whole mistake. He felt awkward and almost as if he alone were responsible for what had happened.

She paused a moment and looked at the boy standing awkwardly as near the door as he could be and still be inside the house. 论文代写Please, she said, what does the telegram say? 毕业论文 Mrs. Sandoval, the messenger said, the telegram says 简历大全 /html/jianli/But now the woman interrupted him. But you must open the telegram and read it to me, she said. You have not opened it. Yes, maam, Homer said as if he were speaking to a school teacher who had just corrected him. 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ He opened the telegram with nervous fingers. The Mexican woman stooped to pick up the torn envelope, and tried to smooth it out. As she did so she said, Who sent the telegram my son Juan Domingo? 作文 /zuowen/No, maam. Homer said. The telegram is from the War Department. 总结大全 /html/zongjie/War Department? the Mexican woman said. 简历大全 /html/jianli/Mrs. Sandoval, Homer said swiftly, your son is dead. Maybe its a mistake, Everybody makes a mistake, Mrs. Sandoval. Maybe it wasnt your son. Maybe it was somebody else. The telegram says it was Juan Domingo. But maybe the telegram is wrong, 总结大全 /html/zongjie/The Mexican woman pretended not to hear. 论文代写Oh, do not be afraid, she said. Come inside. Come inside. I will bring you candy. She took the boys arm and brought him to the table at the center of the room and there she made him sit. 论文代写All boys like candy, she said. I will bring you candy.

And she made the messenger take another piece of the candy. 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ Homer sat chewing the dry candy while the Mexican woman talked. It is our own candy, she said, from cactus. I made it for my Juanito when he come home, but you eat it. You are my boy, too. 毕业论文Now suddenly she began to sob, holding herself in as if weeping were a disgrace. Homer wanted to get up and run, but he knew he would stay. He even thought he might stay the rest of his life. He just didnt know what else to do to try to make the woman less unhappy, and if she had asked him to take the place of her son, he would not have been able to refuse, because he would not have known how. He got to his feet, as if by standing he meant to begin correcting what could not be corrected and then he knew the foolishness of this intention and became more awkward than ever. In his heart he was saying over and over again, What can I do? What the hell can I do? Im only the messenger. 论文代写NEW WORDS 毕业soften 作文 /zuowen/v. （cause to） become soft（er） or gentle （使）软化；（使）温和 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/tragic 毕业论文a. very sad, unfortunate; of or related to tragedy 悲惨的；悲剧的 毕业论文messenger 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/n. a person employed to deliver telegrams, letters or parcels 送信人，电报投递员 gentlyad. softly 轻轻地 论文代写immediatelya. at once 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/immediate 简历大全 /html/jianli/a. 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/eager 论文代写 a. marked by strong interest or impatient desire 热切的，渴望的 毕业hinge 作文 /zuowen/n. 铰链whoeverpron. no matter who 无论谁，不管谁saintly 论文代写a. like a saint; very holy 像圣徒一样的；圣洁的implication 毕业n. 含义 总结大全 /html/zongjie/imply 作文 /zuowen/vt.shock 论文代写 vt. cause unpleasant or angry surprise to （sb.） 使（某人）震惊deliver 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/vt. take （sth.） to the place where it esp. sth. bad 交付，递送 毕业awkwarda. uncomfortable 尴尬的 毕业responsiblea. having done or been the cause of esp. sth. bad（应）负责的 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/Mexican n & a. 墨西哥人；墨西哥（人）的 论文代写extendvt. hold out 伸出 毕业论文pause 论文代写 vi. stop for a short time暂停，中止interrupt 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/vt. stop （sb. speaking） by breaking in 打断（某人讲话） 简历大全 /html/jianli/ nervous a. 神经质的；紧张的 总结大全 /html/zongjie/maam 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ madam （used in direct address）夫人，太太，小姐 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ smooth 总结大全 /html/zongjie/vt. make smooth or smoother把弄平department 简历大全 /html/jianli/n. 部门；系 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/swiftlyad. rapidly, quickly快速地；敏捷地 论文代写 swifta. 作文 /zuowen/ chocolate 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/n. 巧克力（糖） 简历大全 /html/jianli/chew 毕业论文vt. crush （food） with the teeth 咀嚼 毕业cactus 作文 /zuowen/n. 仙人掌 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/sob 作文 /zuowen/vi. cry with short, quick breaths 啜泣；呜咽disgrace 简历大全 /html/jianli/n. shame 耻辱；丢脸的人（或事） 总结大全 /html/zongjie/ unhappy 毕业a. not happy 作文 /zuowen/hell 作文 /zuowen/n. 地狱 作文 /zuowen/ PHRASES & EXPRESSIONS 毕业hear of 毕业have knowledge of or receive information about 听到，听说 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/be responsible for be the cause of 应对负责的 简历大全 /html/jianli/come out （with） 毕业 speak out 大声地说，清楚地说 简历大全 /html/jianli/smooth out 作文 /zuowen/make smooth（er） 简历大全 /html/jianli/ hold oneself in 毕业control ones feelingstake the place of 毕业论文act or be used instead of, replace 代替，取代get to ones feel 总结大全 /html/zongjie/ stand up 毕业over and over again 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/very often, repeatedly 反复地，再三地 思想汇报 /sixianghuibao/PROPER NAMES 简历大全 /html/jianli/ Rosa Sandoval 总结大全 /html/zongjie/罗莎.桑多瓦尔 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/Homer 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ 霍默Mexico City 论文代写墨西哥城（墨西哥首都）Juan Domingo 总结大全 /html/zongjie/胡安 多明哥 简历大全 /html/jianli/the War Department 论文代写（美国）陆军部（旧称） 总结大全 /html/zongjie/Juanito 开题报告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/胡安尼特（Juan的昵称） 作文 /zuowen/
