陈士成 看过 县考 的 榜 ，回到 家里 的 时候 ，已经 是 下午 了 。
Chen Shicheng|have seen|county exam|attributive marker|list|returned to|home|attributive marker|time|already|is|afternoon|emphasis marker
Chen Shicheng had seen the list of the county examination, and by the time he returned home, it was already afternoon.
他 去 得 本 很 早 ，一见 榜 ，便 先 在 这 上面 寻 陈字 。
he|go|emphasis marker|book|very|early|as soon as|list|then|first|on|this|on top|search|Chen's name
He had gone very early, and as soon as he saw the list, he first looked for the character 'Chen' on it.
陈字 也 不少 ，似乎 也 都 争先恐后 的 跳进 他 眼睛 里 来 ，然而 接着 的 却 全 不是 士成 这 两个 字 。
Chen character|also|quite a few|seemingly|also|all|vying to be first|attributive marker|jump into|his|eyes|in|come|however|next|attributive marker|but|all|not|Shi Cheng|these|two|characters
There were indeed many instances of the character 'Chen', as if they were all eagerly jumping into his eyes, but the following characters were not 'Shicheng'.
他 于是 重新 再 在 十二 张 榜 的 圆图 ⑵里 细细地 搜寻 ，看 的 人 全 已 散尽 了 ，而 陈士成 在 榜 上 终于 没有 见 ，单 站 在 试院 的 照壁 的 面前 。
he|then|again|again|in|twelve|piece|list|attributive marker|circular chart|inside|carefully|search|look|attributive marker|people|all|already|dispersed|past tense marker|but|Chen Shicheng|on|list|on|finally|did not|see|only|stand|in|examination hall|attributive marker|screen wall|attributive marker|in front of
He then carefully searched again in the twelve circular lists, and all the people who had been looking were already gone, but Chen Shicheng was finally not found on the list, standing alone in front of the wall of the examination courtyard.
凉风 虽然 拂拂 的 吹动 他 斑白 的 短发 ，初冬 的 太阳 却 还是 很 温和 的 来 晒 他 。
cool breeze|although|gently|attributive marker|blow|he|gray|attributive marker|short hair|early winter|attributive marker|sun|but|still|very|mild|attributive marker|come|shine on|him
The cool breeze gently stirred his graying short hair, but the early winter sun still shone warmly on him.
但 他 似乎 被 太阳 晒 得 头晕 了 ，脸色 越加 变成 灰白 ，从 劳乏 的 红肿 的 两 眼里 ，发出 古怪 的 闪光 。
but|he|seem|by|sun|shine|to|dizzy|emphasis marker|complexion|increasingly|become|grayish white|from|fatigue|attributive marker|swollen|attributive marker|two|eyes|emit|strange|attributive marker|light
However, he seemed to be dizzy from the sun, his face increasingly turning pale, and from his tired, swollen eyes, a strange glimmer emerged.
这时 他 其实 早已 不 看到 什么 墙上 的 榜文 了 ，只见 有 许多 乌黑 的 圆圈 ，在 眼前 泛泛 的 游走 。
at this time|he|actually|already|not|see|any|on the wall|attributive marker|notice|past tense marker|only see|there are|many|pitch black|attributive marker|circles|in|front of the eyes|vaguely|attributive marker|drift around
At this moment, he actually could no longer see any of the inscriptions on the wall; he only saw many dark circles floating in front of him.
隽 了 秀才 ，上 省 去 乡试 ，一径 联捷 上去 ，……绅士 们 既然 千方百计 的 来 攀亲 ，人们 又 都 像 看见 神明 似的 敬畏 ，深 悔 先前 的 轻薄 ，发昏 ，……赶走 了 租住 在 自己 破 宅门 里 的 杂姓 ——那 是 不 劳说 赶 ，自己 就 搬 的 ，——屋宇 全新 了 ，门口 是 旗竿 和 扁额 ，……要 清高 可以 做 京官 ，否则 不如 谋 外放 。

Having excelled as a scholar, he went to the provincial examination, and directly advanced up the ranks... Since the gentlemen were doing everything possible to seek connections, people regarded him with the same awe as if they were seeing a deity, deeply regretting their previous frivolity, and in a daze... they drove away the miscellaneous tenants living in their dilapidated gate—this was not even a matter of being driven out, they moved out themselves—now the house was completely new, with a flagpole and a plaque at the entrance... If one wants to be noble, they can become an official in the capital; otherwise, it is better to seek an external post.
……他 平日 安排 停当 的 前程 ，这时候 又 像 受潮 的 糖塔 一般 ，刹时 倒塌 ，只 剩下 一堆 碎片 了 。
he|usually|arrange|properly|attributive marker|future|at this time|again|like|damp|attributive marker|sugar tower|as|suddenly|collapse|only|remain|a pile|fragments|emphasis marker
... He had arranged a proper future in his daily life, but at this moment, it collapsed like a sugar tower that had absorbed moisture, leaving only a pile of fragments.
他 不 自觉 的 旋转 了 觉得 涣散 了 身躯 ，惘惘 的 走向 归家 的 路 。
he|not|consciously|attributive marker|rotate|past tense marker|feel|scattered|state change marker|body|bewildered|attributive marker|walk towards|homeward|attributive marker|road
He unconsciously spun around, feeling his body become disoriented, and walked aimlessly towards the way home.
他 刚 到 自己 的 房门口 ，七个 学童 便 一齐 放开 喉咙 ，吱 的 念 起 书 来 。
he|just|arrive|own|attributive marker|door of the room|seven|schoolchildren|then|together|let go|throats|chirp|attributive marker|recite|start|books|emphasis marker
As soon as he reached his own doorstep, seven schoolchildren opened their mouths in unison and began to recite their lessons.
他 大吃一惊 ，耳朵 边 似乎 敲 了 一声 磬 ，只见 七个 头 拖 了 小辫子 在 眼前 幌 ，幌 得 满房 ，黑 圈子 也 夹着 跳舞 。
he|was greatly shocked|ears|side|seemed|knock|past tense marker|one sound|bell|only saw|seven|heads|dragging|past tense marker|little braids|in|front of eyes|sway|sway|degree marker|throughout the room|black|circles|also|mixed with|dancing
He was taken aback, as if a bell had rung beside his ear, and he saw seven heads with little braids swaying in front of him, filling the room, with black circles dancing along.
他 坐下 了 ，他们 送上 晚课 来 ，脸上 都 显出 小觑 他 的 神色 。
he|sat down|emphasis marker|they|sent up|evening class|to|on the face|all|show|disdain|him|attributive marker|expression
He sat down, and they presented their evening lessons to him, all showing a look of disdain on their faces.
“回去 罢 。
go back|stop
"Go back."
”他 迟疑 了 片时 ，这才 悲惨 的 说 。
he|hesitated|past tense marker|a moment|only then|tragically|attributive marker|said
He hesitated for a moment, and then said tragically.
他们 胡乱 的 包 了 书包 ，挟着 ，一溜烟 跑 走 了 。
they|haphazardly|attributive marker|pack|past tense marker|backpack|clutching|in a flash|run|away|emphasis marker
They hastily packed their bags and ran away in a flash.
陈士成 还 看见 许多 小 头 夹 着 黑 圆圈 在 眼前 跳舞 ， 有时 杂乱 ， 有时 也 摆成 异样 的 阵图 ， 然而 渐渐 的 减少 了 ， 模胡 了 。
Chen Shicheng also saw many small heads with black circles dancing in front of him, sometimes chaotic, sometimes arranged in unusual formations, but gradually decreasing and becoming blurred.
“这回 又 完 了 ！
this time|again|finished|emphasis marker
"This time it's over!"
”他 大吃一惊 ，直 跳 起来 ，分明 就 在 耳边 的话 ，回过头去 却 并没有 什么 人 ，仿佛 又 听得 嗡 的 敲 了 一声 磬 ，自己的 嘴 也 说道 ：“这回 又 完 了 ！
he|was greatly shocked|straight|jump|up|clearly|just|at|ear side|words|turned around|but|did not|anything|person|as if|again|heard|buzzing|attributive marker|strike|past tense marker|one sound|bell|own|mouth|also|said|this time|again|finished|emphasis marker
He was taken aback, jumped up, and clearly heard the words right next to his ear, but when he turned around, there was no one there, as if he heard a buzzing sound of a bell, and his own mouth also said: "This time it's over!"
”他 忽而 举起 一只 手 来 ，屈指 计数 着 想 ，十一 ，十三 回 ，连 今年 是 十六 回 ，竟 没有 一个 考官 懂得 文章 ，有眼无珠 ，也 是 可怜 的 事 ，便 不由 嘻嘻 的 失 了 笑 。
he|suddenly|raise|one|hand|here|bend fingers|count|ongoing action marker|think|eleven|thirteen|times|even|this year|is|sixteen|times|unexpectedly|no|one|examiner|understand|article|blind to the obvious|also|is|pitiful|attributive marker|thing|then|involuntarily|giggle|attributive marker|lose|past tense marker|laugh
He suddenly raised a hand, counting with his fingers, eleven, thirteen times, and this year makes sixteen times, yet not a single examiner understands the article; it is a pitiful thing to have eyes but not see, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
然而 他 愤然 了 ， 蓦地 从 书包 布 底下 抽出 誊 真的 制艺 和 试帖 ⑶ 来 ， 拿 着 往外 走 ， 刚近 房门 ， 却 看见 满眼 都 明亮 ， 连 一群 鸡 也 正在 笑 他 ， 便 禁不住 心头 突突 的 狂 跳 ， 只好 缩回 里面 了 。
However, he became furious, suddenly pulling out his calligraphy practice and test papers from the bottom of his backpack, holding them as he walked out. Just as he approached the door, he saw everything bright and clear, even a group of chickens were laughing at him, which made his heart race uncontrollably, so he had no choice but to retreat inside.
他 又 就 了 坐 ， 眼光 格外 的 闪烁 ； 他 目睹 着 许多 东西 ， 然而 很模 胡 ，—— 是 倒塌 了 的 糖 塔 一般 的 前程 躺 在 他 面前 ， 这 前程 又 只是 广大 起来 ， 阻住 了 他 的 一切 路 。
He sat down again, his eyes sparkling unusually; he witnessed many things, yet they were very vague—like a collapsed sugar tower, his future lay before him, and this future only seemed to expand, blocking all his paths.
别家 的 炊烟 早 消歇 了 ，碗筷 也 洗过 了 ，而 陈士成 还 不 去 做饭 。

The cooking smoke from other homes had long dissipated, and the bowls and chopsticks had been washed, yet Chen Shicheng still did not go to cook.

The miscellaneous residents living here know the old customs; whenever it is the year of the county examination, seeing such looks after the announcement of the results, it is better to close the door early and not get involved.
最先 就 绝 了 人声 ，接着 是 陆续 的 熄 了 灯火 ，独有 月亮 ，却 缓缓 的 出现 在 寒夜 的 空中 。

First, the human voices were completely silenced, followed by the gradual extinguishing of the lights, leaving only the moon, which slowly appeared in the cold night sky.
空中 青碧 到 如 一片 海 ，略 有些 浮云 ，仿佛 有 谁 将 粉笔 洗 在 笔洗 里 似的 摇曳 。

The sky was a deep blue, like a vast sea, with a few floating clouds, as if someone had shaken chalk in a washbasin.
月亮 对 着 陈士成 注下 寒冷 的 光波 来 ， 当初 也 不过 像是 一面 新磨 的 铁镜 罢了 ， 而 这镜 却 诡秘 的 照透 了 陈士成 的 全身 ， 就 在 他 身上 映出 铁 的 月亮 的 影 。
The moon cast a cold light on Chen Shicheng, initially resembling a newly polished iron mirror, yet this mirror mysteriously reflected Chen Shicheng's entire body, projecting the shadow of an iron moon upon him.
他 还 在 房外 的 院子 里 徘徊 ，眼里 颇 清静 了 ，四近 也 寂静 。
he|still|in|outside the house|attributive marker|yard|in|wander|in the eyes|quite|peaceful|emphasis marker|nearby|also|quiet
He was still wandering in the courtyard outside the house, his eyes quite tranquil, and the surroundings were also silent.
但 这 寂静 忽 又 无端 的 纷扰 起来 ，他 耳边 又 确凿 听到 急促 的 低声 说 ：“左弯 右弯 ……”他 耸然 了 ，倾耳 听 时 ，那 声音 却 又 提高 的 复述 道 ：“右弯 ！

But this silence suddenly became inexplicably disturbed, and he distinctly heard a hurried whisper in his ear: 'Left turn, right turn...' He was startled, and when he listened closely, the voice repeated in a higher tone: 'Right turn!'
”他 记得 了 。
he|remember|emphasis marker
He remembered.
这 院子 ，是 他家 还 未 如此 雕零 的 时候 ，一到 夏天 的 夜间 ，夜夜 和 他 的 祖母 在 此 纳凉 的 院子 。
this|yard|is|his home|still|not|so|desolate|attributive marker|time|once|summer|attributive marker|night|every night|and|his|attributive marker|grandmother|at|this|cool off|attributive marker|yard
This courtyard was where he and his grandmother would cool off during summer nights, before his family became so dilapidated.
那时 他 不过 十岁 有 零 的 孩子 ，躺 在 竹榻 上 ，祖母 便 坐 在 榻 旁边 ，讲 给 他 有趣 的 故事 听 。
at that time|he|only|ten years old|there are|zero|attributive marker|children|lying|on|bamboo bed|on|grandmother|then|sat|beside|bed|side|tell|to|him|interesting|attributive marker|stories|to listen
At that time, he was just a child of about ten years old, lying on a bamboo couch while his grandmother sat beside him, telling him interesting stories.
伊 说 是 曾经 听得 伊 的 祖母 说 ，陈氏 的 祖宗 是 巨富 的 ，这 屋子 便是 祖基 ，祖宗 埋着 无数 的 银子 ，有福气 的 子孙 一定 会 得到 的 罢 ，然而 至今 还 没有 现 。

He said he once heard his grandmother say that the ancestors of the Chen family were extremely wealthy, and this house was their ancestral home, where countless silver coins were buried, and that fortunate descendants would surely find them, but so far, none had appeared.
至于 处所 ，那 是 藏 在 一个 谜语 的 中间 ：“左弯 右弯 ，前 走 后 走 ，量 金 量 银 不论 斗 。
as for|place|that|is|hidden|in|one|riddle|attributive marker|middle|left turn|right turn|forward|walk|backward|walk|measure|gold|measure|silver|regardless of|bushel
As for the location, it was hidden in a riddle: 'Left turn, right turn, go forward, go back, measuring gold and silver does not count the bushel.'
”对于 这 谜语 ，陈士成 便 在 平时 ，本 也 常常 暗地里 加以 揣测 的 ，可惜 大抵 刚 以为 可以 通 ，却 又 立刻 觉得 不合 了 。

Regarding this riddle, Chen Shicheng often secretly speculated about it in his daily life, but unfortunately, he mostly thought he could understand it, only to immediately feel it was not right.
有 一回 ，他 确 有 把握 ，知道 这 是 在 租给 唐家 的 房 底下 的 了 ，然而 总 没有 前去 发掘 的 勇气 ；过 了 几时 ，可 又 觉得 太 不 相像 了 。

Once, he was indeed confident, knowing that this was under the house rented to the Tang family, but he never had the courage to go and dig; after a while, he felt it was too dissimilar.
至于 他 自己 房子 里 的 几个 掘 过 的 旧 痕迹 ，那 却 全是 先前 几回 下 第 以后 的 发 了 怔忡 的 举动 ，后来 自己 一 看到 ，也 还 感到 惭愧 而且 羞人 。

As for the several old traces he had dug in his own house, they were all actions of surprise after the previous few times he had gone down, and later when he saw them himself, he still felt ashamed and embarrassed.
但 今天 铁 的 光罩 住 了 陈士成 ，又 软软 的 来 劝 他 了 ，他 或者 偶一 迟疑 ，便 给 他 正经 的 证明 ，又 加上 阴森 的 摧逼 ，使 他 不得不 又 向 自己 的 房里 转过 眼光 去 。

But today, the iron light enveloped Chen Shicheng, and softly urged him; perhaps he hesitated for a moment, but it gave him serious proof, along with a sinister coercion, forcing him to turn his gaze back to his own house.
白光 如 一 柄 白 团扇 ，摇摇摆摆 的 闪起 在 他 房里 了 。
white light|like|one|handle|white|round fan|swaying|attributive marker|flash|in|his|room|emphasis marker
The white light flickered in his room like a white hand fan, swaying back and forth.
“也 终于 在 这里 ！
also|finally|at|here
"Finally here!"
”他 说 着 ，狮子 似的 赶快 走进 那 房里 去 ，但 跨进 里面 的 时候 ，便 不见 了 白光 的 影踪 ，只有 莽苍苍 的 一间 旧房 ，和 几个 破 书桌 都 没 在 昏暗 里 。

He said, quickly walking into the room like a lion, but as he stepped inside, the white light vanished, leaving only a dim, old room with a few broken desks.
他 爽然 的 站 着 ，慢慢 的 再 定睛 ，然而 白光 却 分明 的 又 起来 了 ，这回 更 广大 ，比 硫黄 火 更 白净 ，比 朝雾 更 霏微 ，而且 便 在 靠 东墙 的 一张 书桌 下 。

He stood there in surprise, slowly focusing again, and yet the white light clearly reappeared, this time even larger, whiter than sulfur flames, more delicate than morning mist, and it was right under a desk against the east wall.
陈士成 狮子 似的 奔到 门 后边 ，伸手 去 摸 锄头 ，撞 着 一条 黑影 。
Chen Shicheng|lion|like|rush to|door|behind|reach out|to|touch|hoe|bump|at|one|shadow
Chen Shicheng rushed to the back of the door like a lion, reaching out to touch the hoe, and bumped into a dark shadow.
他 不知 怎 的 有些 怕 了 ，张惶 的 点 了 灯 ，看 锄头 无非 倚 着 。
he|not know|how|attributive marker|somewhat|afraid|emphasis marker|flustered|attributive marker|turn on|past tense marker|light|look|hoe|nothing more than|lean|ongoing action marker
He felt a bit scared for some reason, hurriedly turned on the light, and saw that the hoe was merely leaning against something.
他 移开 桌子 ，用 锄头 一气 掘起 四块 大 方砖 ，蹲身 一看 ，照例 是 黄澄澄 的 细沙 ，揎 了 袖 爬开 细沙 ，便 露出 下面 的 黑土 来 。

He moved the table and used a hoe to dig up four large square tiles in one go. Squatting down to take a look, as usual, it was the yellow fine sand. He rolled up his sleeves and brushed away the fine sand, revealing the black soil underneath.
他 极 小心 的 ，幽静 的 ，一 锄 一 锄 往 下 掘 ，然而 深夜 究竟 太 寂静 了 ，尖铁 触 土 的 声音 ，总是 钝重 的 不肯 瞒 人 的 发响 。

He was extremely careful and quiet, digging down one scoop at a time. However, the deep night was ultimately too silent, and the sound of the sharp iron touching the soil was always a dull thud that could not be hidden.
土坑 深 到 二尺 多 了 ，并不 见 有 瓮口 ，陈士 成正 心焦 ，一声 脆响 ，颇 震得 手腕 痛 ，锄尖 碰到 什么 坚硬 的 东西 了 ；他 急忙 抛下 锄头 ，摸索 着 看时 ，一块 大 方砖 在 下面 。

The pit was over two feet deep, and he did not see any mouth of a jar. Chen Shicheng was getting anxious. With a crisp sound, his wrist was jolted painfully as the hoe tip hit something hard; he hurriedly dropped the hoe and felt around to see a large square tile underneath.
他 的 心 抖 得 很 利害 ，聚精会神 的 挖 起 那 方砖 来 ，下面 也 满 是 先前 一样 的 黑土 ，爬松 了 许多 土 ，下面 似乎 还 无穷 。

His heart was pounding fiercely as he focused intently on digging up that tile. Below it was also filled with the same black soil as before, and he had loosened a lot of soil, seemingly endless beneath.
但 忽而 又 触 着 坚硬 的 小东西 了 ，圆 的 ，大约 是 一个 锈 铜钱 ；此外 也 还有 几片 破碎 的 磁片 。

But suddenly he touched something hard and small again, round, probably a rusty copper coin; in addition, there were also a few broken pieces of pottery.
陈士成 心里 仿佛 觉得 空虚 了 ，浑身 流汗 ，急躁 的 只 爬 搔 ；这 其间 ，心 在 空中 一 抖动 ，又 触 着 一种 古怪 的小东西 了 ，这 似乎 约略 有些 马掌 形 的 ，但 触手 很 松脆 。

Chen Shicheng felt an emptiness in his heart, sweating all over, and restlessly scratching; during this time, his heart trembled in the air, and he touched a strange little thing, which seemed somewhat horseshoe-shaped, but the touch was very brittle.
他 又 聚精会神 的 挖起 那 东西 来 ，谨慎 的 撮 着 ，就 灯光 下 仔细 看时 ，那 东西 斑斑 剥剥 的 像是 烂 骨头 ，上面 还 带着 一排 零落 不全 的 牙齿 。

He focused intently on digging up that thing, cautiously picking it up, and when he looked closely under the light, the thing was mottled and peeling, resembling rotten bones, with a row of incomplete teeth still attached.
他 已经 误到 这许 是 下巴 骨 了 ，而 那 下巴 骨 也 便 在 他 手里 索索 的 动弹 起来 ，而且 笑吟吟 的 显出 笑影 ，终于 听得 他 开口 道 ：“这回 又 完 了 ！

He had mistakenly thought this might be a jawbone, and the jawbone began to move in his hand, smilingly showing a grin, and finally, he heard it say: "This time it's over!"
”他 栗然 的 发 了 大 冷 ，同时 也 放 了 手 ，下巴 骨 轻飘飘 的 回到 坑底 里 不多久 ，他 也 就 逃到 院子 里 了 。

He shivered with a great chill, and at the same time let go, the jawbone lightly floated back to the bottom of the pit, and not long after, he fled to the yard.
他 偷看 房 里面 ，灯火 如此 辉煌 ，下巴 骨 如此 嘲笑 ，异乎寻常 的 怕人 ，便 再 不敢 向 那边 看 。
he|peek|room|inside|lights|so|brilliant|chin|bone|so|mock|extraordinary|attributive marker|frightening|then|no longer|dare not|towards|that side|look
He peeked into the room, the lights were so brilliant, the jawbone was mocking him, extraordinarily frightening, so he dared not look that way again.
他 躲 在 远处 的 檐下 的 阴影 里 ， 觉得 较为 安全 了 ； 但 在 这 平安 中 ， 忽而 耳朵 边 又 听 得 窃窃 的 低声 说 ： “ 这里 没有 …… 到 山里 去 ……” 陈士成 似乎 记得 白天 在 街上 也 曾 听 得 有人 说 这种 话 ， 他 不 待 再 听 完 ， 已经 恍然大悟 了 。
He hid in the shadow under the eaves in the distance, feeling relatively safe; but in this peace, he suddenly heard a whispering voice beside his ear saying: "There is no... go to the mountains..." Chen Shicheng seemed to remember hearing someone say this kind of thing on the street during the day, and without waiting to hear the rest, he suddenly realized.
他 突然 仰面 向 天 ，月亮 已 向 西 高峰 这方面 隐去 ，远想 离城 三十五里 的 西 高峰 正在 眼前 ，朝 笏 ⑷一般 黑 魆魆 的 挺立 着 ，周围 便 放出 浩大 闪烁 的 白光 来 。

He suddenly looked up at the sky; the moon had hidden behind the western peak, and in the distance, the Western Peak, thirty-five miles from the city, stood before him, dark and towering like a tablet, surrounded by a vast, flickering white light.
而且 这 白光 又 远远 的 就 在 前面 了 。

Moreover, this white light was already far ahead.
“是 的 ，到 山里 去 ！

"Yes, go to the mountains!"
”他 决定 的 想 ，惨然 的 奔 出去 了 。
he|decided|attributive marker|thought|tragically|attributive marker|run|outside|past tense marker
He thought decisively and ran out in despair.
几回 的 开门 之后 ，门 里面 便 再 不 闻 一些 声息 。

After opening the door several times, there was no longer any sound coming from inside.
灯火 结了 大 灯花 照着 空屋 和 坑洞 ，毕毕 剥 剥 的 炸 了 几声 之后 ，便 渐渐 的 缩小 以至于 无有 ，那 是 残油 已经 烧尽 了 。

The lights formed large blossoms illuminating the empty house and the pit, and after a few crackling sounds, they gradually diminished until there was nothing left, as the remaining oil had burned out.
“ 开 城门 来 ……” 含着 大 希望 的 恐怖 的 悲声 ， 游丝 似的 在 西关 门前 的 黎明 中 ， 战战兢兢 的 叫喊 。
"Open the city gate..." A terrifying and sorrowful voice filled with great hope, tremblingly called out like a thread in the dawn before the West Gate.
第二天 的 日 中 ，有人 在 离 西门 十五里 的 万流湖 里 看见 一个 浮尸 ，当即 传扬 开去 ，终于 传到 地保 的 耳朵 里 了 ，便 叫 乡下人 捞 将 上来 。

The next day at noon, someone saw a floating corpse in Wanliu Lake, fifteen miles from the West Gate, and it was immediately spread around, eventually reaching the ears of the local constable, who then instructed the villagers to fish it out.
那 是 一个 男尸 ，五十多岁 ，“身中 面白 无须 ”，浑身 也 没有 什么 衣裤 。

It was a male corpse, over fifty years old, "with a pale face and no beard," and he was not wearing any clothes.
或者 说 这 就是 陈士成 。
or|say|this|is|Chen Shicheng
Or rather, this is Chen Shicheng.
但 邻居 懒得 去 看 ，也 并无 尸亲 认领 ，于是 经 县 委员 相验 之后 ，便 由 地保 埋 了 。

But the neighbors were too lazy to look, and there were no relatives to claim the body, so after verification by the county commissioner, it was buried by the local bailiff.
至于 死因 ，那 当然 是 没有 问题 的 ，剥取 死尸 的 衣服 本来 是 常有 的 事 ，够不上 疑心 到 谋害 去 ：而且 仵作 也 证明 是 生前 的 落水 ，因为 他 确凿 曾 在 水底 里 挣命 ，所以 十个 指甲 里 都 满 嵌 着 河底 泥 。

As for the cause of death, there was certainly no issue; it was common to strip the clothes off a corpse, which did not raise suspicion of foul play: moreover, the coroner also confirmed it was drowning while alive, as he had indeed struggled for life underwater, evidenced by the mud embedded in all ten of his fingernails.
