泰戈?duì)枴缎略录返?8期:雨天 The rainy day

　　SULLEN clouds are gathering fast over the black fringe of the forest. 烏云很快地集攏在森林的黝黑的邊緣上。

　　O child, do not go out! 孩上，不要出去呀!

　　The palm trees in a row by the lake are smiting their heads against the dismal sky; the crows with their draggled wings are silent on the tamarind branches, and the eastern bank of the river is haunted by a deepening gloom. 湖邊的一行棕樹，向暝暗的天空撞著頭;羽毛零亂的烏鴉，靜悄悄地棲在羅望子的枝上，河的東岸正被烏沉沉的暝色所侵襲。

　　Our cow is lowing loud, tied at the fence. 我們的牛系在籬上，高聲鳴叫。

　　O child, wait here till I bring her into the stall. 孩子，在這里等著，等我先把牛牽進(jìn)牛棚里去。

　　Men have crowded into the flooded field to catch the fishes as they escape from the overflowing ponds; the rain water is running in rills through the narrow lanes like a laughing boy who has run away from his mother to tease her. 許多人都擠在池水泛溢的田間，捉那從泛溢的池中逃出來的魚兒，雨水成了小河，流過狹街，好像一個嬉笑的孩子從他媽媽那里跑開，故意要惱她一樣。

　　Listen, someone is shouting for the boatman at the ford. 聽呀，有人在淺灘上喊船夫呢。

　　O child, the daylight is dim, and the crossing at the ferry is closed. 孩子，天色暝暗了，渡頭的擺渡船已經(jīng)停了。

　　The sky seems to ride fast upon the madly-rushing rain; the water in the river is loud and impatient; women have hastened home early from the Ganges with their filled pitchers. 天空好像是在滂沱的雨上快跑著;河里的水喧叫而且暴躁;婦人們早已拿著汲滿了水的水罐，從恒河畔匆匆地回家了。

　　The evening lamps must be made ready. 夜里用的燈，一定要預(yù)備好。

　　O child, do not go out! 孩子，不要出去呀!

　　The road to the market is desolate, the lane to the river is slippery. The wind is roaring and struggling among the bamboo branches like a wild beast tangled in a net. 到市場去的大道已沒有人走，到河邊去的小路又很滑。風(fēng)在竹林里咆哮著，掙扎著，好像一只落在網(wǎng)中的野獸。
