第3章 飞往国外(2)
两人聊着，走向机场的座位。丁瑞问：“你什么时候登机。”“还有三小时，我的航班延误了。你呢？”“还有一个半小时。”李奕问：“怎么没人送你？”
丁瑞说：“老爸老妈送得太多了。我这次对他们说：‘小鹰该学着自己飞了。在满是个人主义者的国度里，我得学会独立。如果你们跟我到机场，我就不走了，知女莫若父，知女莫若母。’”李奕再次咯咯地笑起来，她说：“好玩！独立的女孩，请坐！真想有人送送。可是，爸妈在德国，爷爷、奶奶又年级太大，想来也来不了。”
“你英语说得真不赖。”“谢谢！爷爷、奶奶都是复旦大学英语教授！他们说许多德国人的英语也说得挺好。”“哇，肯定有只幸运鸟跟着咱俩。这是我的电子邮件地址，和我联系！”
“我会的！这是我的！”
就在这个时候，丁瑞感到有一双手蒙住了她的眼睛：“谁啊？”她叫了起来，“啊！我知道了。萨拉·徐！”
萨拉·徐松开手说：“你怎么知道是我？”丁瑞说：“你的味道！朋友！”萨拉笑着说道：“狗鼻子！”
丁瑞为她们做介绍：“萨拉！这是李奕，慕尼黑大学，未来的外科医生。这是萨拉·徐，中瑞典大学学生，理科。”
萨拉·徐和李奕互致问候！萨拉说：“碰到你们两个，真是太幸运了！我的航班晚了四个小时，这么长时间，真不知道该怎么打发！”丁瑞说：“恐怕，我陪不了你那么长时间！再过一个小时，我就得说再见了！”
李奕说：“我的航班也延误了，我俩一起还有至少两个半小时。老天对我们真好，英语、德语和瑞典语是同一语系、同一语族，我们姐妹三个也凑一快了。”
李奕接着说：“我了解瑞典人的情况！人人平等，当官的没有架子。生活和谐宁静。”
萨拉徐说：“可是也有相当多的醉鬼！”
李奕又咯咯地笑起来。她说：“希望你不是。”
萨拉说：“我不喝酒。我们那里冬天很长。最难过的是白天特短，黑夜特长！”
丁瑞说：“那，你们肯定喜欢夏天了！”萨拉说：“在瑞典，不是每个季节都是阳光明媚的。”
丁瑞说：“我爸爸去年在莫斯科转机，他说那里要脱鞋进行安检！”
李奕说：“欧美机场都要检查鞋子的。”
