戏落幕后，江晚舟送杜铃玉上了轮船。杜铃玉在甲板上望着码头上江晚舟纤瘦的白色背影，海风吹起杜铃玉的柔软卷发，阴丹士林裙子像浪花一样飘扬。

舱室内传来暧昧的萨克斯爵士乐，英国女郎扭动着身体随音乐舞动，女郎深情地歌唱着家乡小调，轮船“呜”地一声鸣笛，喷着滚滚黑烟离开了码头。

“they are both convinced

that a sudden passion joined them.

Such certainty is beautiful,

but uncertainty is more beautiful still

Since they\u0027d never met before, they\u0027re sure

that there\u0027d been nothing between them.

……”

（他们两人都相信

一场突发的热情让他俩交汇

这些笃定是美丽的

但变化无常更是美丽

既然从未见面，所以他们认定

彼此并无任何瓜葛

……）
