ways to report death

two brothers, herbert and james, lived with their mother and a cat named edgar. james was particularly attached to(附属于,爱慕) the cat, and when he had to leave town for several days, he left herbert 1(小心翼翼的,一丝不苟的) instructions about the pet' s care. at the end of this first day away. james telephoned his brother. "how is edgar?"

"edgar is dead." herbert answered. there was a pause. then james said, "herbert, you're insensitive(不敏感的,不灵敏的) , you know how close i was to edgar, you should have broken the news to me slowly. when i asked about edgar tonight, you should have said, 'edgar's on the roof , but i have called the fire department to get him down.' and tomorrow when i called, you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting edgar down, but you were hopeful they would succeed. then when i called the third time, you could have told me that the fire-men have done their best, but unfortunately edgar had fallen off the roof and was at the veterinarian's(兽医) . then when i called the last time, you could have said that although everything possible had been done for edgar, he had died. that's the way a sensitive man would have told me about edgar. and, oh, before i forget," james added, "how is mother?"

"oh," herbert said, pausing for a moment, "she' s on the roof."

郝伯特和詹姆斯兄弟二人一起生活,家中有一老母并养了一只猫叫埃德格。詹姆斯特别喜欢这只猫。有一次他要外出几天,临行前不厌其烦地嘱咐郝伯特照顾好这只宠物。出门后的头一天晚上,他打来电话询问:“埃德格好吗?”
  
“它死了,”郝伯格回答。一阵沉默之后,詹姆斯说:“郝伯特,你真没心没肺,你知道我多么喜欢埃德格----你应该把这个消息慢慢地告诉我。当我问起埃德格今晚怎样时,你应该说,‘埃德格爬上了屋顶,我已给消防队打了电话,让他们把它救下来。’我明天又给你打电话时,你应该说消防队营救埃德格遇到了困难,但你相信他们会成功。在我第三天给你打电话时,你可以说消防队员已尽了最大努力,但很不幸,埃德格从屋顶上掉了下来,被送到兽医那里。在我最后一次给你打电话询问,你可以说尽管对埃德格做了一切所能做的努力,它还是死了。这是一个富有感情的人告诉我埃德格的消息时所用的方式。哦,趁我没忘记还有件事顺便问一下,”詹姆斯补充道,“母亲好吗?”

“哦……”一阵沉默后郝伯特答道,“她上了屋顶。”
