Upon seeing this situation, she rushed to the riverbank, hid behind the wutong tree, and poked her little head out, shouting loudly, 'This old man won't die!' ”九斤 老太 虽然 高寿 ，耳朵 却 还 不 很 聋 ，但 也 没有 听到 孩子 的话 ，仍旧 自己 说 ，“这 真是 一代 不如 一代 ！ nine pounds|old lady|although|long life|ears|but|still|not|very|deaf|but|also|did not|hear|child|words|still|oneself|say|this|really|one generation|not as good as|another generation " Although the old lady Jiu Jin was quite old, her hearing wasn't very poor, but she still didn't hear the child's words and continued to say to herself, 'This really is a generation worse than the last!' ”这 村庄 的 习惯 有点 特别 ，女人 生 下 孩子 ，多 喜欢 用 秤 称 了 轻重 ，便 用 斤数 当作 小名 。 this|village|attributive marker|habit|a bit|special|women|give birth|down|child|often|like|use|scale|weigh|past tense marker|weight|then|use|weight in jin|as|nickname " The customs of this village are a bit special; when women give birth to children, they often like to weigh them and use the weight in jin as their nickname. 九斤 老太 自从 庆祝 了 五十 大寿 以后 ，便 渐渐 的 变 了 不平 家 ，常说 伊 年青 的 时候 ，天气 没有 现在 这般 热 ，豆子 也 没有 现在 这般 硬 ；总之 现在 的 时世 是 不对 了 。 Nine Jin|old lady|since|celebrate|past tense marker|fifty|birthday|after|then|gradually|attributive marker|become|state change marker|unreasonable|person|often say|she|young|attributive marker|time|weather|not have|now|this kind of|hot|beans|also|not have|now|this kind of|hard|in short|now|attributive marker|world|is|wrong|emphasis marker Since celebrating her 50th birthday, the old lady Jiu Jin has gradually become a complainer, often saying that when she was young, the weather wasn't as hot as it is now, and the beans weren't as hard as they are now; in short, the current times are not right. 何况 六斤 比 伊 的 曾祖 ，少 了 三斤 ，比 伊 父亲 七斤 ，又 少 了 一斤 ，这 真是 一条 颠扑不破 的 实例 。 let alone|six pounds|compared to|you|attributive marker|great-grandfather|less|past tense marker|three pounds|compared to|you|father|seven pounds|again|less|past tense marker|one pound|this|really|one|irrefutable|attributive marker|instance Moreover, Liu Jin weighs three jin less than Yi's great-grandfather and one jin less than Yi's father, which is truly an undeniable example. 所以 伊 又 用劲 说 ，“这 真是 一代 不如 一代 ！ so|she|again|with effort|said|this|really|one generation|not as good as|another generation So Yi said with effort, "This really is a case of one generation being worse than the last!" ”伊 的 儿媳 ⑵七斤 嫂子 正 捧着 饭篮 走 到 桌边 ，便 将 饭篮 在 桌上 一 摔 ，愤愤 的 说 ，“你 老人家 又 这么 说 了 。 she|attributive marker|daughter-in-law|seven jin|sister-in-law|just|holding|food basket|walk|to|table side|then|put|food basket|on|table|one|throw|angrily|attributive marker|said|you|old person|again|like this|say|emphasis marker Yi's daughter-in-law, Sister Qiqin, was holding a food basket and walked to the table, then slammed the basket down on the table, angrily saying, "You old folks are saying that again." 六斤 生 下来 的 时候 ，不是 六斤 五两 么 ？ six pounds|born|down|attributive marker|time|not|six pounds|five taels|question marker When Liu Jin was born, wasn't it six and a half pounds?" 你家 的 秤 又 是 私秤 ，加重 称 ，十八两 秤 ；用 了 准 十六 ，我们 的 六斤 该 有 七斤 多哩 。 your home|attributive marker|scale|again|is|private scale|added weight|scale|eighteen taels|scale|used|past tense marker|accurate|sixteen|our|attributive marker|six jin|should|have|seven jin|more Your family's scale is a private scale, weighted to be heavier, an eighteen-ounce scale; if it was a proper sixteen, our six pounds should be over seven pounds." 我 想 便是 太公 和 公公 ，也 不见得 正是 九斤 八斤 十足 ，用 的 秤 也许 是 十四两 ……”“一代 不如 一代 ！ I|want|even if|Taigong|and|grandfather|also|not necessarily|exactly|nine catties|eight catties|completely|use|attributive marker|scale|maybe|is|fourteen taels|one generation|not as good as|another generation I think even the great-grandfather and grandfather might not have been exactly nine or eight pounds; the scale they used might have been fourteen ounces..." "One generation is worse than the last!" ” 　　 七斤 嫂 还 没有 答话 ， 忽然 看见 七斤 从小 巷口 转 出 ， 便移 了 方向 ， 对 他 嚷 道 ，“ 你 这 死尸 怎么 这时候 才 回来 ， 死到 那里 去 了 ！ " Qijin's sister-in-law had not yet replied, when suddenly she saw Qijin turn out from the small alley, so she changed direction and shouted at him, 'Why did you, this dead body, only come back now? Where have you been dead to!' 不管 人家 等 着 你 开饭 ！ no matter|others|wait|ongoing action marker|you|start eating It doesn't matter that people are waiting for you to eat! ”七斤 虽然 住 在 农村 ，却 早 有些 飞黄腾达 的 意思 。 seven jin|although|live|in|countryside|but|already|somewhat|rise to prominence|attributive marker|intention " Although Qijin lived in the countryside, he already had some ambitions of rising to prominence. 从 他 的 祖父 到 他 ，三代 不 捏 锄头 柄 了 ；他 也 照例 的 帮人 撑 着 航船 ，每日 一回 ，早晨 从 鲁镇 进城 ，傍晚 又 回到 鲁镇 ，因此 很 知道 些 时事 ：例如 什么 地方 ，雷公 劈 死 了 蜈蚣 精 ；什么 地方 ，闺女 生 了 一个 夜叉 之类 。 from|he|attributive marker|grandfather|to|he|three generations|not|hold|hoe|handle|past tense marker|he|also|as usual|attributive marker|help people|support|ongoing action marker|boat|every day|once|morning|from|Lu Town|enter the city|evening|again|return to|Lu Town|therefore|very|know|some|current events|for example|what|place|thunder god|struck|dead|past tense marker|centipede|spirit|what|place|daughter|gave birth to|past tense marker|one|demon|and so on From his grandfather to him, three generations had not held a hoe; he also usually helped others to support the boat, going into the city from Luzhen in the morning and returning to Luzhen in the evening, so he was quite knowledgeable about current events: for example, where the thunder god struck and killed a centipede spirit; or where a girl gave birth to a night demon, and so on. 他 在 村人 里面 ，的确 已经 是 一名 出场 人物 了 。 he|in|villagers|among|indeed|already|is|one|appearance|character|emphasis marker He had indeed become a prominent figure among the villagers. 但 夏天 吃饭 不 点灯 ，却 还 守着 农家 习惯 ，所以 回家 太 迟 ，是 该 骂 的 。 but|summer|eat|not|light the lamp|yet|still|keep|farmhouse|habit|so|go home|too|late|is|should|scold|emphasis marker But in summer, meals are not eaten with lights on, yet they still adhere to the farming family's customs, so coming home too late is indeed something to be scolded for. 七斤 一手 捏 着 象牙 嘴 白铜 斗 六尺 多长 的 湘妃竹 烟管 ，低着头 ，慢慢 地 走来 ，坐 在 矮凳 上 。 seven pounds|one hand|pinching|ongoing action marker|ivory|mouth|white copper|measure|six feet|how long|attributive marker|Xiangfei bamboo|pipe|head down|slowly|adverbial marker|walk over|sit|on|low stool|on Qijin, holding an ivory mouthpiece and a six-foot-long Xiangfei bamboo pipe, walked over slowly with his head down and sat on a low stool. 六斤 也 趁势 溜出 ，坐在 他 身边 ，叫 他 爹爹 。 six pounds|also|taking advantage of the situation|sneak out|sitting beside|him|side|call|him|daddy Liujin also took the opportunity to slip out, sitting beside him and calling him 'father'. 七斤 没有 应 。 seven jin|do not have|should Qijin did not respond. “一代 不如 一代 ！ one generation|not as good as|one generation "One generation is not as good as the previous one!" ”九斤 老太 说 。 nine catties|old lady|said "Old Lady Jiu Jin said."},{ 七斤 慢慢 地 抬起 头 来 ，叹 一口气 说 ，“皇帝 坐 了 龙庭 了 。 seven pounds|slowly|adverb marker|lift up|head|emphasis marker|sigh|one breath|said|emperor|sit|past tense marker|dragon throne|emphasis marker ”七斤 嫂 呆 了 一刻 ，忽而 恍然大悟 的 道 ，“这 可 好了 ，这 不是 又 要 皇恩 大赦 了 么 ！ seven pounds|sister-in-law|stunned|emphasis marker|a moment|suddenly|suddenly realize|attributive marker|say|this|emphasis marker|good|this|is not|again|going to|imperial grace|amnesty|emphasis marker|question marker ”七斤 又 叹 一口气 ，说 ，“我 没有 辫子 。 Seven Jin|again|sigh|one breath|said|I|do not have|braids ”“皇帝 要 辫子 么 ？ emperor|want|braid|question marker ”“皇帝 要 辫子 。 emperor|wants|braids "The emperor wants braids." ”“你 怎么 知道 呢 ？ you|how|know|emphasis marker "How do you know?" ”七斤 嫂 有些 着急 ，赶忙 的 问 。 seven jin|sister-in-law|somewhat|anxious|hurriedly|attributive marker|ask Sister Qijin was a bit anxious and hurriedly asked. “咸亨 酒店 里 的 人 ，都 说 要 的 。 Xianheng|hotel|inside|attributive marker|people|all|say|want|attributive marker "The people at the Xianheng Hotel all say so." ”七斤 嫂 这时 从 直觉 上 觉得 事情 似乎 有些 不妙 了 ，因为 咸亨 酒店 是 消息 灵通 的 所在 。 seven pounds|sister-in-law|at this time|from|intuition|on|feel|things|seems|somewhat|bad|emphasis marker|because|Xianheng|hotel|is|news|well-informed|attributive marker|location At this moment, Sister Qijin felt intuitively that something seemed to be wrong, because the Xianheng Hotel was known for being well-informed. 伊 一转眼 瞥见 七斤 的 光头 ， 便 忍不住 动怒 ， 怪 他 恨 他 怨 他 ； 忽然 又 绝望 起来 ， 装 好 一碗 饭 ， 搡 在 七斤 的 面前 道 ，“ 还是 赶快 吃 你 的 饭 罢 ！ Yi caught a glimpse of Qijin's bald head and couldn't help but get angry, blaming him, hating him, resenting him; suddenly, she became desperate again, prepared a bowl of rice, and shoved it in front of Qijin, saying, "You might as well hurry up and eat your rice!" 哭丧着脸 ，就 会 长出 辫子 来 么 ？ with a mournful face|then|will|grow out|braids|come|question marker Does a sad face mean that braids will grow? ”太阳 收尽 了 他 最末 的 光线 了 ，水面 暗暗 地 回复 过 凉气 来 ；土场 上 一片 碗筷 声响 ，人人 的 脊梁 上 又 都 吐出 汗粒 。 sun|gather completely|emphasis marker|he|last|attributive marker|light|emphasis marker|water surface|quietly|adverbial marker|return|past experience marker|coolness|direction marker|ground|on|a lot of|dishes and chopsticks|sounds|everyone|attributive marker|spine|on|again|all|exude|sweat beads The sun had gathered its last rays, and the water surface quietly returned to a chill; the sound of bowls and chopsticks echoed in the dirt yard, and everyone was sweating again. 七斤 嫂 吃 完 三 碗 饭 ，偶然 抬起 头 ，心坎 里 便 禁不住 突突 地 发 跳 。 seven jin|sister-in-law|eat|finish|three|bowls|rice|accidentally|lift up|head|heart|inside|then|cannot help|thump|adverbial marker|start|jump After Qijin's sister-in-law finished three bowls of rice, she accidentally looked up, and her heart couldn't help but thump. 伊 透过 乌桕 叶 ， 看见 又 矮 又 胖 的 赵 七爷 正 从 独木桥 上 走来 ， 而且 穿着 宝蓝色 竹布 的 长衫 。 Through the leaves of the black jujube tree, Yi saw the short and chubby Zhao Qiye walking over the single-plank bridge, wearing a cobalt blue bamboo cloth long gown. 赵 七爷 是 邻村 茂源 酒店 的 主人 ，又 是 这 三十里 方圆 以内 的 唯一 的 出色 人物 兼 学问家 ；因为 有 学问 ，所以 又 有些 遗老 的 臭味 。 Zhao|Seventh Master|is|neighboring village|Maoyuan|hotel|attributive marker|owner|also|is|this|thirty li|radius|within|attributive marker|only|attributive marker|outstanding|person|and|scholar|because|has|knowledge|so|also|somewhat|old-fashioned|attributive marker|stench Zhao Qiye is the owner of the Maoyuan Hotel in the neighboring village, and he is also the only outstanding figure and scholar within a thirty-mile radius; because he is knowledgeable, he has a bit of the old-fashioned arrogance. 他 有 十多本 金圣叹 批评 的 《 三国志 》 ⑶，时常 坐着 一个字 一个字 的 读 ；他 不但 能 说出 五虎将 姓名 ，甚而至于 还 知道 黄忠 表字 汉升 和 马超 表字 孟起 。 he|has|more than ten|Jin Shengtan|criticism|attributive marker|Romance of the Three Kingdoms|often|sitting|one character|one character|attributive marker|read|he|not only|can|say out|Five Tiger Generals|names|even|also|know|Huang Zhong|courtesy name|Han Sheng|and|Ma Chao|courtesy name|Meng Qi He has more than ten copies of Jin Shengtan's critiques of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," and often sits reading it word by word; he can not only name the Five Tiger Generals but also knows that Huang Zhong's courtesy name is Han Sheng and Ma Chao's courtesy name is Meng Qi. 革命 以后 ，他 便 将 辫子 盘 在 顶上 ，像 道士 一般 ；常常 叹息 说 ，倘若 赵子龙 在世 ，天下 便 不会 乱 到 这 地步 了 。 revolution|after|he|then|will|braid|coil|on|top|like|Taoist priest|alike|often|sigh|say|if|Zhao Zilong|alive|world|then|would not|chaos|to|this|extent|emphasis marker After the revolution, he tied his braid on top of his head, like a Taoist priest; he often sighs and says that if Zhao Zilong were alive, the world wouldn't be in such chaos. 七斤 嫂 眼睛 好 ， 早 望见 今天 的 赵 七爷 已经 不是 道士 ， 却 变成 光滑 头皮 ， 乌黑 发顶 ； 伊便 知道 这 一定 是 皇帝 坐 了 龙庭 ， 而且 一定 须 有 辫子 ， 而且 七斤 一定 是 非常 危险 。 Sister Qijin has good eyesight and early on saw that today's Zhao Qiye is no longer a Taoist but has become bald with a shiny scalp and black hair on top; she knows that this must mean the emperor has taken the dragon throne, and it must be very dangerous for Qijin. 因为 赵 七爷 的 这件 竹布 长衫 ， 轻易 是 不 常 穿 的 ， 三年 以来 ， 只 穿过 两次 ： 一次 是 和 他 呕气 的 麻子 阿四病 了 的 时候 ， 一次 是 曾经 砸烂 他 酒店 的 鲁 大爷 死 了 的 时候 ； 现在 是 第三次 了 ， 这 一定 又 是 于 他 有庆 ， 于 他 的 仇家 有殃 了 。 Because Zhao Qiye rarely wears this bamboo cloth long gown, he has only worn it twice in the past three years: once when his rival, the pockmarked Ah Si, fell ill, and once when the rude Master Lu, who had smashed his hotel, died; now this is the third time, and it must be a celebration for him and a calamity for his enemies. 七斤 嫂 记得 ，两年 前 七斤 喝醉 了 酒 ，曾经 骂 过 赵 七爷 是 “贱胎 ”，所以 这时 便 立刻 直觉 到 七斤 的 危险 ，心坎 里 突突 地 发起 跳 来 。 Seven Jin|sister-in-law|remember|two years|ago|Seven Jin|got drunk|past tense marker|alcohol|once|scolded|past experience marker|Zhao|Seven Ye|is|cheap thing|so|at this time|then|immediately|instinctively|to|Seven Jin|attributive marker|danger|heart|inside|thumping|adverbial marker|start|jump|come Qijin's sister remembers that two years ago, Qijin got drunk and once cursed Zhao Qiye as a "cheap bastard," so at this moment, she immediately sensed Qijin's danger, and her heart started pounding. 赵 七爷 一路 走来 ，坐着 吃饭 的人 都 站 起身 ，拿 筷子 点着 自己的 饭碗 说 ，“七爷 ，请 在 我们 这里 用饭 ！ Zhao|Seventh Master|all the way|come|sitting|eat|people|all|stand|up|hold|chopsticks|point at|own|rice bowl|say|Seventh Master|please|at|our|here|eat As Zhao Qiye walked along, everyone sitting down to eat stood up, pointing their chopsticks at their own rice bowls and saying, "Qiye, please eat here with us!" ”七爷 也 一路 点头 ，说道 “请 请 ”，却 一径 走 到 七斤 家 的 桌旁 。 Seventh Master|also|all the way|nod|said|please|invite|but|straight|walk|to|Seventh Jin|home|attributive marker|beside the table Qiye nodded all the way and said, "Please, please," but he continued straight to the table at Qijin's house. 七斤 们 连忙 招呼 ，七爷 也 微笑 着 说 “请 请 ”，一面 细细 的 研究 他们 的 饭菜 。 seven pounds|plural marker|hurriedly|greet|seven master|also|smile|ongoing action marker|say|please|invite|while|carefully|attributive marker|study|they|attributive marker|food Qijin and the others hurriedly welcomed him, and Qiye smiled and said, "Please, please," while carefully examining their dishes. “好香 的 菜 干 ，——听到 了 风声 了 么 ？ so fragrant|attributive marker|dish|dry|heard|past tense marker|sound of the wind|emphasis marker|question marker "What fragrant dishes, have you heard the news?" ”赵 七爷 站 在 七斤 的 后面 七斤 嫂 的 对面 说 。 Zhao|Seventh Master|stand|at|Qi Jin|attributive marker|behind|Qi Jin|sister-in-law|attributive marker|opposite|said "Master Zhao stood behind Qijin, facing Qijin's sister-in-law and said. “皇帝 坐 了 龙庭 了 。 emperor|sit|emphasis marker|dragon throne|emphasis marker "The emperor has taken his seat in the Dragon Throne. ”七斤 说 。 seven jin|said "Qijin said. 七斤 嫂 看着 七爷 的 脸 ，竭力 陪笑 道 ，“皇帝 已经 坐 了 龙庭 ，几时 皇恩 大赦 呢 ？ seven pounds|sister-in-law|looking at|seventh master|attributive marker|face|desperately|accompany with a smile|said|emperor|already|sit|past tense marker|dragon throne|when|imperial grace|amnesty|question marker Qijin's sister-in-law looked at Master Zhao's face, trying her best to smile and said, "The emperor has already taken his seat in the Dragon Throne, when will there be a great amnesty from the emperor?" ”“皇恩 大赦 ？ imperial grace|amnesty "Great amnesty from the emperor? ——大赦 是 慢慢 的 总要 大赦 罢 。 amnesty|is|slowly|attributive marker|eventually|amnesty|emphasis marker —— A general amnesty will eventually come. ”七爷 说 到 这里 ，声色 忽然 严厉 起来 ，“但是 你家 七斤 的 辫子 呢 ，辫子 ？ Seventh Master|said|to|here|tone and expression|suddenly|stern|up|but|your family|Seven Jin|attributive marker|braid|emphasis marker|braid "Seventh Master said, suddenly becoming stern, "But what about your family's Qijin's braid, the braid? 这 倒 是 要紧 的 事 。 this|indeed|is|important|attributive marker|matter This is indeed an important matter. 你们 知道 ：长毛 时候 ，留发 不留 头 ，留头 不留 发 ，……”七斤 和 他 的 女人 没有 读过 书 ，不 很 懂得 这 古典 的 奥妙 ，但 觉得 有 学问 的 七爷 这么 说 ，事情 自然 非常 重大 ，无可挽回 ，便 仿佛 受 了 死刑 宣告 似的 ，耳朵 里 嗡 的 一声 ，再也 说 不出 一句 话 。 you|know|long hair|time|keep hair|not keep|head|keep head|not keep|hair|Qi Jin|and|he|attributive marker|woman|not have|read|books|not|very|understand|this|classical|attributive marker|mysteries|but|feel|have|knowledge|attributive marker|Master Qi|so|say|matter|naturally|very|serious|irretrievable|then|as if|received|past tense marker|death penalty|sentence|like|ears|inside|buzzing|attributive marker|one sound|no longer|say|out|one sentence|words You all know: during the time of the Long Hair, it was to keep the hair but not the head, to keep the head but not the hair, ..." Qijin and his wife had not studied and did not quite understand this classical nuance, but felt that since the learned Seventh Master said so, the matter was naturally very serious and irretrievable, as if they had received a death sentence, and with a buzzing in their ears, they could no longer utter a word. “一代 不如 一代 ，——”九斤 老太 正在 不平 ，趁 这 机会 ，便 对 赵 七爷 说 ，“现在 的 长毛 ，只是 剪 人家 的 辫子 ，僧 不僧 ，道 不道 的 。 one generation|not as good as|one generation|nine catties|old lady|currently|unfair|take advantage of|this|opportunity|then|to|Zhao|Seventh Master|said|now|attributive marker|long-haired|only|cut|others|attributive marker|braids|monk|not a monk|Daoist|not a Daoist|attributive marker "Each generation is worse than the last, —" Old Jiu Jin was feeling dissatisfied, and taking this opportunity, he said to Zhao Qiye, "The Long Hairs of today only cut people's braids, neither monk nor Daoist. 从前 的 长毛 ，这样 的 么 ？ once upon a time|attributive marker|long hair|like this|attributive marker|question marker Once upon a time, was it like this? 我 活 到 七十九岁 了 ，活够 了 。 I|live|to|seventy-nine years old|emphasis marker|lived enough|emphasis marker I have lived to seventy-nine years old, I've lived enough. 从前 的 长毛 是 —— 整匹 的 红 缎子 裹头 ， 拖下去 ， 拖下去 ， 一直 拖 到 脚跟 ； 王爷 是 黄 缎子 ， 拖下去 ， 黄 缎子 ； 红 缎子 ， 黄 缎子 ，—— 我 活够 了 ， 七十九岁 了 。 Once upon a time, the long hair was - a whole piece of red satin wrapped around the head, dragging down, dragging down, all the way to the heels; the prince was in yellow satin, dragging down, yellow satin; red satin, yellow satin, - I've lived enough, seventy-nine years. ”七斤 嫂 站 起身 ，自言自语 的 说 ，“这 怎么 好 呢 ？ seven pounds|sister-in-law|stand|get up|talking to oneself|attributive marker|say|this|how|good|emphasis marker "Sister Qijin stood up and said to herself, 'How can this be good?' 这样 的 一班 老小 ，都 靠 他 养活 的 人 ，……”赵 七爷 摇头 道 ，“那 也 没法 。 this way|attributive marker|a group of|old and young|all|rely on|him|support|attributive marker|people|Zhao|Seventh Master|shook his head|said|that|also|no way Such a group of old and young people all depend on him for their livelihood..."

"You, this living dead prisoner..." Among the onlookers, Sister Bayi was the kindest person, holding her two-year-old illegitimate child, watching the excitement next to Sister Qijin; feeling uneasy at this moment, she hurriedly tried to mediate, saying, "Sister Qijin, just let it go." 人 不是 神仙 ，谁 知道 未来 事 呢 ？ person|is not|immortal|who|knows|future|things|emphasis marker People are not immortals, who knows what the future holds? 便是 七斤 嫂 ，那时 不 也 说 ，没有 辫子 倒 也 没有 什么 丑 么 ？ it is|seven pounds|sister-in-law|at that time|not|also|say|without|braids|on the contrary|also|have no|anything|ugly|emphasis marker Even Sister Qijin said at that time, without braids, isn't there nothing ugly? 况且 衙门 里 的 大老爷 也 还 没有 告示 ，……”七斤 嫂 没有 听 完 ，两个 耳朵 早 通红 了 ；便 将 筷子 转过 向来 ，指着 八一 嫂 的 鼻子 ，说 ，“阿呀 ，这 是 什么 话 呵 ！ moreover|yamen|inside|attributive marker|magistrate|also|still|not have|notice|seven jin|sister-in-law|not have|listen|finish|two|ears|already|bright red|emphasis marker|then|turn|chopsticks|turn|towards|pointing at|eighty-one|sister-in-law|attributive marker|nose|said|oh|this|is|what|words|emphasis marker Moreover, the big officials in the yamen haven't announced anything yet...

Liu Jin had just finished a big bowl of rice, took the empty bowl, and reached out to shout for a refill. 七斤 嫂正 没好气 ，便 用 筷子 在 伊 的 双丫角 中间 ，直 扎 下去 ，大 喝道 ，“谁 要 你 来 多嘴 ！ seven pounds|sister-in-law is|in a bad mood|then|use|chopsticks|in|she|attributive marker|two corners|in the middle|straight|poke|down|loudly|shouted|who|wants|you|to|be nosy Seven Jin's sister-in-law was in a bad mood, so she used chopsticks to poke directly between her two ears, shouting, "Who asked you to be so nosy!" 你 这 偷汉 的 小 寡妇 ！ you|this|steal man|attributive marker|little|widow You little widow who steals men! ”扑 的 一声 ，六斤 手里 的 空碗 落 在 地上 了 ，恰巧 又 碰 着 一块 砖角 ，立刻 破 成 一个 很大 的 缺口 。 thud|attributive marker|one sound|Liu Jin|in hand|attributive marker|empty bowl|fall|on|ground|past tense marker|just|again|hit|ongoing action marker|one piece|brick corner|immediately|break|into|one|very big|attributive marker|gap With a loud crash, the empty bowl in Liu Jin's hand fell to the ground and happened to hit a brick corner, immediately breaking into a large chip. 七斤 直跳 起来 ，捡起 破碗 ，合上 检查 一回 ，也 喝道 ，“入娘 的 ！ seven pounds|jump straight|up|pick up|broken bowl|close|check|once|also|shouted|damn|emphasis marker Seven Jin jumped up, picked up the broken bowl, checked it, and shouted, "Damn it!" ”一巴掌 打倒 了 六斤 。 one slap|knocked down|past tense marker|six jin Then she slapped Liu Jin down. 六斤 躺 着 哭 ，九斤 老太 拉 了 伊 的 手 ，连 说 着 “一代 不如 一代 ”，一同 走 了 。 six pounds|lying|in the state of|crying|nine pounds|old lady|pulled|past tense marker|her|attributive marker|hand|even|said|ongoing action marker|one generation|not as good as|another generation|together|walked|past tense marker Six Jin lay crying, and Nine Jin's old lady pulled her hand, repeatedly saying, 'One generation is not as good as the next,' and they walked away together. 八一 嫂 也 发怒 ， 大声 说 ，“ 七斤 嫂 ， 你 ‘ 恨 棒打 人 '……” 　　 赵 七爷 本来 是 笑 着 旁观 的 ； 但 自从 八一 嫂说 了 “ 衙门 里 的 大老爷 没有 告示 ” 这话 以后 ， 却 有些 生气 了 。 Ayi also got angry and shouted, 'Qijin, you 'hate hitting people'... Zhao Qiye was originally watching with a smile; however, since Ayi said, 'The big officials in the yamen have no notice,' he became somewhat angry. 这时 他 已经 绕出 桌旁 ，接着 说 ，“ ‘ 恨 棒打 人 '，算 什么 呢 。 at this time|he|already|go around|beside the table|then|said|hate|beat with a stick|people|count|what|emphasis marker At this point, he had already walked around the table and continued, 'Hate hitting people, what does that count for? 大兵 是 就要 到 的 。 soldier|is|about to|arrive|emphasis marker The soldiers are about to arrive. 你 可 知道 ， 这回 保驾 的 是 张大帅 ⑷， 张大帅 就是 燕人 张翼德 的 后代 ， 他 一支 丈八蛇矛 ， 就 有 万夫不当之勇 ， 谁 能 抵挡 他 ，” 他 两手 同时 捏起 空拳 ， 仿佛 握 着 无形 的 蛇 矛 模样 ， 向 八一 嫂 抢进 几步 道 ，“ 你 能 抵挡 他 么 ！ Do you know, this time the protector is General Zhang, General Zhang is a descendant of Yan's Zhang Yide, with his eight-foot-long spear, he has the courage of ten thousand men, who can withstand him,' he simultaneously clenched his empty fists, as if holding an invisible spear, and stepped forward a few steps towards Ayi, 'Can you withstand him!' ”八一 嫂 正气 得 抱 着 孩子 发抖 ，忽然 见 赵 七爷 满脸 油汗 ，瞪 着 眼 ，准 对 伊 冲 过来 ，便 十分 害怕 ，不敢 说完 话 ，回身 走 了 。 August 1st|sister-in-law|righteous spirit|emphasis marker|holding|ongoing action marker|child|tremble|suddenly|see|Zhao|Seventh Master|full face|sweat|stare|ongoing action marker|eyes|definitely|towards|her|rush|come over|then|very|scared|dare not|finish speaking|words|turn around|leave|past tense marker " Sister Ba Yi was trembling while holding the child, and suddenly saw Zhao Qiye with a face full of sweat, staring wide-eyed, definitely charging towards her, which made her very scared, and she didn't dare to finish her sentence, turning around and leaving. 赵 七爷 也 跟着 走 去 ，众人 一面 怪 八一 嫂 多事 ，一面 让 开路 ，几个 剪过 辫子 重新 留起 的 便 赶快 躲 在 人丛 后面 ，怕 他 看见 。 Zhao|Seventh Master|also|follow|go|to|everyone|on one hand|blame|Ba Yi|sister-in-law|meddlesome|on the other hand|let|clear the way|a few|had cut|braids|again|grow back|attributive marker|then|quickly|hide|in|crowd|behind|afraid|he|see Zhao Qiye also followed her, while the crowd blamed Sister Ba Yi for being meddlesome, they made way, and a few who had cut their braids and regrown them quickly hid behind the crowd, afraid he would see them. 赵 七爷 也 不 细心 察访 ，通过 人丛 ，忽然 转入 乌桕树 后 ，说道 “你 能 抵挡 他 么 ！ Zhao|Seventh Master|also|not|carefully|investigate|through|crowd|suddenly|turn into|Chinese tallow tree|behind|said|you|can|withstand|him|question marker Zhao Qiye was not careful in his observation, passing through the crowd, he suddenly turned behind the Chinese tallow tree and said, "Can you withstand him?" ”跨上 独木桥 ，扬长 去 了 。 step onto|single-plank bridge|stride away|go|emphasis marker " He stepped onto the single-plank bridge and left. 村 人们 呆呆 站 着 ，心里 计算 ，都 觉得 自己 确乎 抵不住 张翼德 ，因此 也 决定 七斤 便 要 没有 性命 。 village|people|blankly|stand|ongoing action marker|in the heart|calculate|all|feel|oneself|indeed|cannot withstand|Zhang Yide|therefore|also|decide|seven jin|then|will|without|life The villagers stood there in a daze, calculating in their hearts, all feeling that they really could not withstand Zhang Yide, thus they also decided that Qi Jin would surely lose his life. 七斤 既然 犯 了 皇法 ，想起 他 往常 对人 谈论 城中 的 新闻 的 时候 ，就 不该 含着 长 烟管 显出 那般 骄傲 模样 ，所以 对 七斤 的 犯法 ，也 觉得 有些 畅快 。 seven jin|since|committed|past tense marker|imperial law|recall|he|usually|to people|talk about|in the city|attributive marker|news|attributive marker|time|then|should not|holding|long|pipe|show|that kind of|proud|appearance|therefore|towards|seven jin|attributive marker|breaking the law|also|feel|somewhat|pleasure Since Qi Jin has violated the imperial law, thinking of how he usually talks about the news in the city, he shouldn't show such a proud demeanor while holding a long pipe. Therefore, there is a certain satisfaction in Qi Jin's lawbreaking. 他们 也 仿佛 想 发些 议论 ，却 又 觉得 没有 什么 议论 可 发 。 they|also|as if|want|make some|comments|but|again|feel|no|anything|comments|can|make They also seemed to want to make some comments, but felt there was nothing to comment on. 嗡嗡 的 一阵 乱 嚷 ，蚊子 都 撞 过 赤膊 身子 ，闯 到 乌桕树 下去 做市 ；他们 也 就 慢慢 地 走散 回家 ，关上 门 去 睡觉 。 buzzing|attributive marker|a burst of|chaotic|shouting|mosquitoes|all|bump|past|bare|body|rush|to|Chinese tallow tree|down|make noise|they|also|then|slowly|adverbial marker|disperse|home|close|door|to|sleep A buzzing commotion, mosquitoes bumping into bare skin, ventured under the wax tree to do business; they slowly dispersed and went home, closing the door to sleep. 七斤 嫂 咕哝 着 ，也 收 了 家伙 和 桌子 矮凳 回家 ，关上 门 睡觉 了 。 seven pounds|sister-in-law|mumble|ongoing action marker|also|collect|past tense marker|stuff|and|table|low stool|go home|close|door|sleep|past tense marker Qi Jin's sister mumbled, gathered her things and the low table and stool, and went home to close the door and sleep. 七斤 将 破碗 拿 回家 里 ，坐在 门槛 上 吸烟 ；但 非常 忧愁 ，忘却 了 吸烟 ，象牙 嘴 六尺 多 长 湘妃竹 烟管 的 白铜 斗里 的 火光 ，渐渐 发黑 了 。 seven pounds|will|broken bowl|take|home|inside|sitting on|threshold|on|smoking|but|very|sad|forgot|past tense marker|smoking|ivory|mouth|six feet|more than|long|Xiangfei bamboo|pipe|attributive marker|white copper|in the bowl|attributive marker|light of the fire|gradually|turn black|state change marker Qi Jin took the broken bowl home, sat on the threshold smoking; but feeling very sad, he forgot to smoke, and the fire in the white copper bowl of the six-foot-long ivory pipe gradually dimmed. 他 心里 但 觉得 事情 似乎 十分 危急 ，也 想想 些 方法 ，想些 计画 ，但 总是 非常 模糊 ，贯穿 不得 ：“辫子 呢 辫子 ？ he|in the heart|but|feel|things|seem|very|urgent|also|think about|some|methods|think of some|plans|but|always|very|vague|penetrate|cannot|braid|emphasis marker|braid He felt that the situation seemed very urgent, and he wanted to think of some methods, to come up with some plans, but it was always very vague and unclear: "Where is the braid?" 丈八 蛇矛 。 eight-foot|snake spear The eight-foot snake spear. 一代 不如 一代 ！ one generation|not as good as|another generation One generation is worse than the last! 皇帝 坐 龙庭 。 emperor|sit|dragon throne The emperor sits in the dragon throne. 破 的 碗 须 得 上 城 去 钉 好 。 broken|attributive marker|bowl|must|have to|to|city|go|nail|well The broken bowl must be taken to the city to be repaired. 谁 能 抵挡 他 ？ who|can|withstand|him Who can resist him? 书上 一条 一条 写着 。 on the book|one line|one line|is written The book writes it down line by line. 入 娘 的 ！ enter|mother|emphasis marker Damn it! ……” 　　 第二日 清晨 ， 七斤 依旧 从鲁镇 撑 航船 进城 ， 傍晚 回到 鲁镇 ， 又 拿 着 六尺 多长 的 湘妃竹 烟管 和 一个 饭碗 回村 。 ... The next morning, Qijin still rowed the boat into the city from Luzhen, and returned to Luzhen in the evening, again taking a six-foot-long Xiangfei bamboo pipe and a rice bowl back to the village. 他 在 晚饭 席上 ，对 九斤 老太 说 ，这碗 是 在 城内 钉合 的 ，因为 缺口 大 ，所以 要 十六个 铜钉 ，三文 一个 ，一总 用 了 四十八 文 小钱 。 he|at|dinner|table|to|Jiu Jin|old lady|said|this bowl|is|in|city|nailed|attributive marker|because|gap|big|so|need|sixteen|copper nails|three wen|each|in total|used|past tense marker|forty-eight|wen|small change At the dinner table, he said to Old Lady Jiu Jin, this bowl was repaired in the city, because the gap was large, it required sixteen copper nails, three wen each, totaling forty-eight wen. 九斤 老太 很 不 高兴 的 说 ，“一代 不如 一代 ，我 是 活够 了 。 nine pounds|old lady|very|not|happy|attributive marker|said|one generation|not as good as|another generation|I|am|lived enough|emphasis marker Old Lady Jiu Jin said unhappily, "Each generation is worse than the last, I have lived enough." 三文 钱 一个 钉 ；从前 的 钉 ，这样 的 么 ？ three cents|money|one|nail|in the past|attributive marker|nail|like this|attributive marker|question marker Three cents for a nail; was it like this before? 从前 的 钉 是 ……我 活 了 七十九岁 了 ，——”此后 七斤 虽然 是 照例 日日 进城 ，但 家景 总 有些 黯淡 ，村人 大抵 回避 着 ，不再 来 听 他 从 城内 得来 的 新闻 。 once upon a time|attributive marker|nail|is|I|live|past tense marker|seventy-nine years old|emphasis marker|after that|seven jin|although|is|as usual|every day|go to town|but|family situation|always|somewhat|bleak|villagers|generally|avoid|ongoing action marker|no longer|come|listen|he|from|inside the city|obtain|attributive marker|news The nails from before were...
