I had been unhappy since(自从) my new neighbor ...

I had been unhappy since(自从) my new neighbor moved in. Every time when I began writing, I could hear a girl singing next door. She didn’t sing well, and even out of tune(调). So it is really a noise pollution(噪音污染) for me.

One day, soon after I sat down behind the computer, I heard the girl singing again. I felt it was too noisy, so I had my husband go to next door and complained(抱怨) about the noise. Ten minutes later, my husband came back with a sad look, saying, “That girl is only 17 but she had bone(骨头) cancer. Her mother said that the more painful(痛的) it is, the louder(更大声地) her daughter sings.” I know now the singing helped reduce(减少) her pains.

I said to my husband, “Please tell her mother that the girl can sing as she likes. We don’t mind it at all.”

From that day on, I no longer thought the girl did anything wrong and even got used to her singing. I felt as if(好像) it were like the smell of sunbeams and watching the flowers and plants. The next year I left home on business. My husband phoned me that the girl died.

I returned home in late summer or early autumn. Sitting at home I couldn’t help feeling something wanting. Suddenly I understood that I could no longer hear the next-door girl sing.
