Faisal dabbed at the sweat beads above his lips. “I’m familiar with the version of the situation you gave Mr. Andrews,” he said. His cheeks dimpled with a coy smile. He turned to Sohrab. “This must be the young man who’s causing all the trouble,” he said in Farsi.
“This is Sohrab,” I said. “Sohrab, this is Mr. Faisal, the lawyer I told you about.”
Sohrab slid down the side of his bed and shook hands with Omar Faisal. “Salaam alaykum,” he said in a low voice.“Alaykum salaam, Sohrab,” Faisal said. “Did you know you are named after a great warrior?”
Sohrab nodded. Climbed back onto his bed and lay on his side to watch TV.
“I didn’t know you spoke Farsi so well,” I said in English. “Did you grow up in Kabul?”
“No, I was born in Karachi. But I did live in Kabul for a number of years. Shar-e-Nau, near the Haji Yaghoub Mosque,” Faisal said. “I grew up in Berkeley, actually. My father opened a music store there in the late sixties. Free love, headbands, tiedyed shirts, you name it.” He leaned forward. “I was at Woodstock.”“Groovy,” I said, and Faisal laughed so hard he started sweating all over again. “Anyway,” I continued, “what I told Mr. Andrews was pretty much it, save for a thing or two. Or maybe three. I’ll give you the uncensored version.”
He licked a finger and flipped to a blank page, uncapped his pen. “I’d appreciate that, Amir. And why don’t we just keep it in English from here on out?”
“Fine.”

“這是索拉博。”我說，“索拉博，他是費薩爾先生，我跟你說過的那個律師。”
索拉博從他的床上滑下來，跟費薩爾握手。“你好?！彼吐曊f?！澳愫?，索拉博?！辟M薩爾說，“你知道自己的名字來自一個了不起的戰(zhàn)士嗎？”
索拉博點點頭，爬回床上，繼續(xù)側(cè)身躺著看電視。
“我不知道你的法爾西語說得這么好，”我用英語說，“你在喀布爾長大嗎？”
“不是，我在卡拉奇[Karachi，巴基斯坦南部城市]出生，但在喀布爾生活了好幾年。沙里諾區(qū)，靠近哈吉雅霍清真寺?！辟M薩爾說。“實際上，我在伯克利 [Berkeley，美國加州城市]長大。1960年代后期，我爸爸在那兒開了間唱片店。自由戀愛，染了領(lǐng)帶的襯衫，你叫得出來的全都有?！彼眢w前傾，“我去過伍德斯托克音樂節(jié) [Woodstock，位于紐約州東南，每年8月舉辦民謠和搖滾音樂節(jié)].”“太帥了！”我說。費薩爾哈哈大笑，又開始冒汗珠了。 “反正，”我繼續(xù)說，“我跟安德魯先生說得差不多了，省略掉一兩件事，也許三件。我會完完整整告訴你?！?br />他舔了一根手指，翻到空白頁，把筆帽打開?！澳亲詈昧?，阿米爾。我們何不用英語交談，免得外面的人聽到？”
“好的?！?/p>
