Is phantom crying real?
那個嬰兒的哭聲是真的嗎?

Doctors can’t explain ‘babies in the head’, but plenty of novelists have tried over the years
醫生無法解釋「腦中的嬰兒」,但多年來,許多小說家都曾嘗試解釋這一現象。

I have heard it during dinner parties, as well as at quiet Friday night meals, exhaling from the week. I have heard it when I am alone, working the soil in the garden or reading on the sofa. Increasingly, I hear it in the middle of the night, rising up against the hum of my husband’s sleeping breath. The cry of a baby, loud enough to wake me, which doesn’t exist. 

我在晚宴上聽到過它,也在安靜的週五夜晚用餐、舒緩一週疲憊時聽到過它。我獨自一人時,無論是在花園裏翻土,還是在沙發上讀書,也會聽到它。如今,我越來越常在深夜聽到它,在丈夫平穩的呼吸聲中響起。那是嬰兒的哭聲,響亮到足以把我驚醒——可實際上,這個嬰兒並不存在。
