"There is no sound, - what happened to the little thing?

" The red-nosed old man held a bowl of yellow wine in his hands, saying this while nodding towards the wall.
蓝皮 阿五 便 放下 酒碗 ，在 他 脊梁 上 用 死劲 的 打 了 一掌 ，含含糊糊 嚷 道 ：“你 ……你 你 又 在 想 心思 ……。

Blue-skinned Awu then put down the wine bowl, slapped him hard on the back, and mumbled, "You... you are thinking again..."
”原来 鲁镇 是 僻静 地方 ，还 有些 古风 ：不上 一更 ，大家 便 都 关门 睡觉 。

" It turns out that Luzhen is a quiet place, still retaining some ancient customs: before the first watch, everyone closes their doors and goes to sleep.
深更半夜 没有 睡 的 只有 两家 ：一家 是 咸亨 酒店 ，几个 酒肉朋友 围着 柜台 ，吃喝 得 正 高兴 ；一家 便是 间壁 的 单四 嫂子 ，他 自从 前年 守 了 寡 ，便须 专 靠着 自己 的 一双手 纺出 绵纱 来 ，养活 他 自己 和 他 三岁 的 儿子 ，所以 睡 的 也 迟 。

In the dead of night, there were only two households awake: one was the Xianheng Hotel, where a few drinking buddies were gathered around the counter, happily eating and drinking; the other was the widow of the neighboring family, who since her husband passed away two years ago, had to rely solely on her own hands to spin cotton yarn to support herself and her three-year-old son, so she also stayed up late.
这 几天 ，确凿 没有 纺纱 的 声音 了 。
this|few days|definite|no|spinning|attributive marker|sound|emphasis marker
These past few days, there has definitely been no sound of spinning yarn.
但 夜深 没有 睡 的 既然 只有 两家 ，这单 四 嫂子 家 有 声音 ，便 自然 只有 老拱们 听到 ，没有 声音 ，也 只有 老拱们 听到 。

But since there were only two households awake in the deep night, if there was sound from the widow's house, naturally only the old folks would hear it; if there was no sound, only the old folks would hear that too.
老 拱 挨 了 打 ，仿佛 很 舒服 似的 喝 了 一大口 酒 ，呜呜 的 唱 起 小曲 来 。

The old man, after being beaten, seemed quite comfortable as he took a big gulp of wine and began to hum a little tune.
这时候 ，单四 嫂子 正 抱 着 他 的 宝儿 ，坐 在 床沿 上 ，纺车 静静的 立在 地上 。

At this moment, the widow was holding her baby, sitting on the edge of the bed, while the spinning wheel stood quietly on the ground.
黑沉沉 的 灯光 ，照着 宝儿 的 脸 ，绯红 里 带 一点 青 。
pitch black|attributive marker|light|shining on|Bao'er|attributive marker|face|crimson|in|with|a little|green
The dim light shone on Bao'er’s face, with a hint of crimson mixed with a bit of green.
单四 嫂子 心里 计算 ：神签 也 求过 了 ，愿心 也许 过 了 ，单方 也 吃过 了 ，要是 还 不 见效 ，怎么 好 ？

Sister Dan Si calculated in her heart: the divine sign has been sought, the wish may have been fulfilled, the single method has also been tried, if it still doesn’t work, what should be done?
——那 只有 去 诊 何 小仙 了 。

— Then there is only going to consult the little fairy, Zhen He.
但 宝儿 也许 是 日轻 夜重 ，到 了 明天 ，太阳 一出 ，热 也 会 退 ，气喘 也 会 平 的 ：这 实在 是 病人 常有 的 事 。

But perhaps Bao'er is more active during the day and lethargic at night; by tomorrow, when the sun rises, the heat will subside, and the shortness of breath will ease: this is indeed something common for patients.
单四 嫂子 是 一个 粗笨 女人 ，不 明白 这 “但” 字 的 可怕 ：许多 坏事 固然 幸亏 有 了 他 才 变好 ，许多 好事 却 也 因为 有 了 他 都 弄糟 。

Sister Dan Si is a rough and simple woman, not understanding the terrifying implications of the word 'but': many bad things have indeed turned good because of it, but many good things have also been ruined because of it.
夏天 夜 短 ，老拱们 呜呜 的 唱 完 了 不多时 ，东方 已经 发白 ；不一会 ，窗缝 里 透进 了 银白色 的 曙光 。

In summer, the nights are short. The old folks finished singing their mournful songs not long after, and the east was already brightening; before long, silvery dawn light seeped through the cracks in the window.
单四 嫂子 等候 天明 ，却 不 像 别人 这样 容易 ，觉得 非常 之 慢 ，宝儿 的 一 呼吸 ，几乎 长过 一年 。
single four|sister-in-law|wait|dawn|but|not|like|others|this way|easy|feel|very|of|slow|Bao'er|attributive marker|one|breath|almost|longer than|one year
Sister Dan Si waited for dawn, but it was not as easy as it was for others; it felt extremely slow, and each breath of Bao'er seemed to last longer than a year.
现在 居然 明亮 了 ；天 的 明亮 ，压倒 了 灯光 ，——看见 宝儿 的 鼻翼 ，已经 一放 一收 的 扇动 。

Now it was surprisingly bright; the brightness of the sky overwhelmed the light from the lamps—one could see Bao'er's nostrils already flaring and contracting.
单四 嫂子 知道 不妙 ，暗暗 叫 一声 “阿呀 ！
Dan Si|sister-in-law|know|not good|secretly|call|one time|oh no
Sister Dan Si sensed something was wrong and quietly exclaimed, "Ah!"
”心里 计算 ：怎么 好 ？

In her heart, she calculated: What should I do?
只有 去 诊何 小仙 这 一条 路 了 。
only|go|clinic|little fairy|this|one|road|emphasis marker
There is only one way to see He Xiaoxian.
他 虽然 是 粗笨 女人 ，心里 却 有 决断 ，便 站 起身 ，从 木 柜子 里 掏出 每天 节省 下来 的 十三个 小 银元 和 一百八十 铜钱 ，都 装 在 衣袋 里 ，锁上 门 ，抱着 宝儿 直向 何家 奔 过去 。

Although he is a rough and clumsy man, he has determination in his heart, so he stood up, took out the thirteen small silver coins and one hundred eighty copper coins he had saved every day from the wooden cabinet, stuffed them into his pocket, locked the door, and rushed towards He's house holding Bao'er.
天气 还 早 ，何家 已经 坐着 四个 病人 了 。

It was still early, but there were already four patients sitting at He’s house.
他 摸 出 四角 银元 ，买 了 号 签 ，第五个 轮到 宝儿 。

He took out four corner silver coins, bought a number ticket, and it was Bao'er’s turn fifth.
何小仙 伸开 两个 指头 按 脉 ，指甲 足有 四寸 多长 ，单 四 嫂子 暗地 纳罕 ，心里 计算 ：宝儿 该 有 活命 了 。

He Xiaoxian opened two fingers to check the pulse, her nails were over four inches long, and Sister Si secretly marveled, calculating in her heart: Bao'er should have a chance to live.
但 总 免不了 着急 ，忍不住 要 问 ，便 局 局促 促 的 说 ：“先生 ，——我家 的 宝儿 什么 病 呀 ？

"He can't catch his breath, his nostrils are flaring."
” “ 这是 火克金 ⑶……” 何小仙 说 了 半句话 ， 便 闭上眼睛 ； 单四 嫂子 也 不好意思 再 问 。
"This is the Fire Overcoming Metal..." He Xiaoxian said half a sentence and then closed her eyes; Dan Si's sister-in-law felt embarrassed to ask further.
在 何小仙 对面 坐 着 的 一个 三十多岁 的 人 ，此时 已经 开 好 一张 药方 ，指着 纸角 上 的 几个 字 说道 ：“这 第一 味 保婴 活命 丸 ，须 是 贾家 济世 老店 才 有 ！

Sitting across from He Xiaoxian was a man in his thirties, who had already prepared a prescription and pointed to a few words on the corner of the paper, saying: "This first ingredient, the Bao Ying Huo Ming Pill, must be from the Jia family's Jishi Old Shop!"
”单四 嫂子 接过 药方 ，一面 走 ，一面 想 。
Dan Si|sister-in-law|took over|prescription|while|walking|while|thinking
Dan Si's sister-in-law took the prescription, walking and thinking at the same time.
他 虽 是 粗笨 女人 ，却 知道 何家 与 济世 老店 与 自己 的 家 ，正是 一个 三角点 ；自然 是 买 了 药 回去 便宜 了 。

Although she was a rough and simple woman, she knew that the He family, the Jishi Old Shop, and her own family formed a triangle; naturally, buying the medicine back would be cheaper.
于是 又 径向 济世 老店 奔 过去 。

So she headed straight towards the Jishi Old Shop.
店伙 也 翘 了 长 指甲 慢慢 的 看 方 ，慢慢 的 包 药 。

The shop assistant also had long nails and was slowly looking at the square, slowly wrapping the medicine.
单四 嫂子 抱 了 宝儿 等 着 ；宝儿 忽然 擎起 小手 来 ，用力 拔 他 散乱 着 的 一 绺 头发 ，这是 从来 没有 的 举动 ，单四 嫂子 怕得 发怔 。

Sister Dan Si was holding the baby and waiting; suddenly, the baby raised her small hand and forcefully pulled at a messy strand of hair, which was an action that had never happened before, leaving Sister Dan Si in shock.
太阳 早出 了 。

The sun had risen early.
单四 嫂子 抱 了 孩子 ，带 着 药包 ，越 走 觉得 越 重 ；孩子 又 不住 的 挣扎 ，路 也 觉得 越 长 。

Sister Dan Si was holding the child, carrying the medicine bundle, and felt it getting heavier as she walked; the child kept struggling, and the road seemed to stretch longer.
没奈何 坐在 路旁 一家 公馆 的 门槛 上 ，休息 了 一会 ，衣服 渐渐 的 冰着 肌肤 ，才 知道 自己 出 了 一身 汗 ；宝儿 却 仿佛 睡着 了 。

With no choice, she sat on the threshold of a public house by the roadside to rest for a while; her clothes gradually froze against her skin, and only then did she realize she was drenched in sweat; however, the baby seemed to have fallen asleep.
他 再 起来 慢慢 地 走 ，仍然 支撑 不得 ，耳朵 边 忽然 听得 人 说 ：“单四 嫂子 ，我 替 你 抱 勃罗 ！

He got up again and walked slowly, still unable to support himself. Suddenly, he heard someone say near his ear: "Sister Dan Si, I'll help you carry Bo Luo!"
”似乎 是 蓝皮 阿五 的 声音 。

It seemed to be the voice of Lan Pi A Wu.
他 抬头 看 时 ，正是 蓝皮 阿五 ，睡眼 朦胧 的 跟着 他 走 。

When he looked up, it was indeed Lan Pi A Wu, sleepily following him.
单四 嫂子 在 这时候 ，虽然 很 希望 降下 一员 天将 ，助 他 一臂之力 ，却 不愿 是 阿五 。
Dan Si|sister-in-law|at|this time|although|very|hope|descend|one|heavenly general|help|him|a helping hand|but|unwilling|to be|A Wu
At this moment, although Sister Dan Si really hoped for a heavenly general to come down and lend him a hand, she did not want it to be A Wu.
但 阿五 有些 侠气 ，无论如何 ，总是 偏要 帮忙 ，所以 推让 了 一会 ，终于 得 了 许可 了 。

But A Wu had a bit of chivalry, and no matter what, he insisted on helping, so after some pushing and shoving, he finally got permission.
他 便 伸开 臂膊 ，从 单四 嫂子 的 乳房 和 孩子 之间 ，直 伸 下去 ，抱 去 了 孩子 。
he|then|stretch out|arms|from|Dan Si|sister-in-law|attributive marker|breast|and|child|between|straight|reach|down|hug|away|past tense marker|child
He then stretched out his arms, reaching down between Sister Shan Si's breasts and the child, and took the child away.
单四 嫂子 便觉 乳房 上 发 了 一条 热 ，刹时间 直 热 到 脸上 和 耳根 。
Dan Si|sister-in-law|immediately feel|breast|on|emit|past tense marker|one|heat|in an instant|straight|hot|to|face|and|ears
Sister Shan Si felt a warmth on her breast, which quickly spread to her face and ears.
他们 两人 离开 了 二尺 五寸 多地 ，一同 走着 。

The two of them walked together, more than two feet and five inches apart.
阿五 说 些 话 ，单四 嫂子 却 大半 没有 答 。

A Wu said some words, but Sister Shan Si mostly did not respond.
走 了 不 多 时候 ， 阿五 又 将 孩子 还给 他 ， 说 是 昨天 与 朋友 约定 的 吃饭 时候 到 了 ； 单四 嫂子 便接 了 孩子 。
After a short while, A Wu returned the child to him, saying that it was time for the meal he had arranged with friends yesterday; Sister Shan Si then took the child.
幸而 不远 便是 家 ，早 看见 对门 的 王九妈 在 街边 坐着 ，远远地 说话 ：“单四 嫂子 ，孩子 怎 了 ？

宝儿 吃 下 药 ，已经 是 午后 了 。

Bao'er took the medicine; it is already afternoon.
单四 嫂子 留心 看 他 神情 ，似乎 仿佛 平稳 了 不少 ；到 得 下午 ，忽然 睁开 眼 叫 一声 “妈 ！

Then he closed his eyes again, as if he had fallen asleep.
他 睡 了 一刻 ，额上 鼻尖 都 沁出 一粒 一粒 的 汗珠 ，单四 嫂子 轻轻 一摸 ，胶水 般 粘着 手 ；慌忙 去 摸 胸口 ，便 禁不住 呜咽 起来 。

He slept for a moment, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead and nose; Sister Shan Si gently touched him, and her hand felt sticky like glue; she hurriedly went to touch his chest and couldn't help but start sobbing.
宝儿 的 呼吸 从 平稳 到 没有 ，单四 嫂子 的 声音 也 就 从 呜咽 变成 号啕 。
Bao'er|attributive marker|breathing|from|steady|to|none|Dan Si|sister-in-law|attributive marker|voice|also|then|from|sobbing|turned into|wailing
Bao'er's breathing went from steady to none, and Sister Shan Si's voice changed from sobbing to wailing.
这时 聚集 了 几堆 人 ：门内 是 王九妈 蓝皮 阿五 之类 ，门外 是 咸亨 的 掌柜 和 红鼻 老拱 之类 。

At this time, several groups of people gathered: inside the door were Wang Jiuma, Lanpi, and Awu, while outside were the shopkeeper of Xianheng and the old man with a red nose.
王九妈 便 发 命令 ，烧 了 一串 纸钱 ；又 将 两条 板凳 和 五件 衣服 作 抵 ，替 单 四 嫂子 借 了 两块 洋钱 ，给 帮忙 的 人 备 饭 。
Wang Jiu Ma|then|issue|order|burn|past tense marker|a bunch|paper money|again|take|two|benches|and|five|clothes|as|collateral|for|Dan|four|sisters-in-law|borrow|past tense marker|two pieces|foreign money|for|help|attributive marker|people|prepare|food
Wang Jiuma then gave orders, burned a string of paper money; also used two benches and five pieces of clothing as collateral, borrowed two coins from Dan Si's sister-in-law to prepare meals for those who helped.
第一个 问题 是 棺木 。
first|question|is|coffin
The first issue was the coffin.
单四 嫂子 还有 一副 银 耳环 和 一支 裹金 的 银簪 ，都 交给 了 咸亨 的 掌柜 ，托 他 作 一个 保 ，半现 半 赊 的 买 一具 棺木 。

Dan Si's sister-in-law also had a pair of silver earrings and a gold-wrapped silver hairpin, which she handed over to the shopkeeper of Xianheng, asking him to act as a guarantor to buy a coffin, half in cash and half on credit.
蓝皮 阿五 也 伸出 手 来 ，很 愿意 自告奋勇 ；王九妈 却 不许 他 ，只准 他 明天 抬 棺材 的 差使 ，阿五 骂 了 一声 “老畜生” ，怏怏 的 努 了 嘴 站着 。

Lanpi Awu also reached out, very willing to volunteer; however, Wang Jiuma did not allow him, only permitting him to carry the coffin tomorrow, Awu cursed, "Old beast," and stood there sulking.
掌柜 便 自去 了 ；晚上 回来 ，说 棺木 须得 现 做 ，后半夜 才 成功 。
shopkeeper|then|went away|past tense marker|at night|come back|said|coffin|must|now|make|in the second half of the night|only then|succeed
The shopkeeper then left; when he returned at night, he said the coffin had to be made on the spot, and it was only completed in the early hours.
掌柜 回来 的 时候 ，帮忙 的 人 早 吃过饭 ；因为 鲁镇 还 有些 古风 ，所以 不上 一更 ，便 都 回家 睡觉 了 。

When the shopkeeper came back, the helpers had already eaten; because Lu Town still had some ancient customs, they didn't stay for the first watch and all went home to sleep.

Only A Wu was still leaning against the counter of Xianheng drinking, while Old Gong was singing softly.
这时候 ，单四 嫂子 坐 在 床沿 上 哭着 ，宝儿 在 床上 躺着 ，纺车 静静的 在 地上 立着 。

At this time, Sister Shan Si was sitting on the edge of the bed crying, while Bao'er was lying on the bed, and the spinning wheel stood quietly on the ground.
许多 工夫 ，单四 嫂子 的 眼泪 宣告 完结 了 ，眼睛 张得 很 大 ，看看 四面 的 情形 ，觉得 奇怪 ：所有 的 都 是 不会 有 的 事 。

After a long time, Sister Shan Si's tears finally stopped, her eyes wide open as she looked around, feeling strange: everything was something that shouldn't be.

He calculated in his heart: it's just a dream, all these things are just a dream.

The singing of Old Gong has long since fallen silent, and the lights in Xianheng have also been turned off.

Sister-in-law Shan Si opened her eyes, still not believing all these things.

银白 的 曙光 又 渐渐 显出 绯红 ，太阳光 接着 照到 屋脊 。

The silvery dawn light gradually revealed a crimson hue, and sunlight followed to shine on the roof.
单四 嫂子 张 着眼 ， 呆 呆坐 着 ； 听得 打 门 声音 ， 才 吃 了 一 吓 ， 跑出去 开门 。
Sister Shan Si opened her eyes wide, sitting there in a daze; hearing the knocking at the door, she was startled and ran out to open it.
门外 一个 不 认识 的 人 ，背了 一件 东西 ；后面 站 着 王九妈 。
outside the door|one|not|know|attributive marker|person|carried|one|thing|behind|standing|ongoing action marker|Wang Jiu Ma
Outside the door stood an unfamiliar person, carrying something on their back; behind them stood Wang Jiuma.
哦 ，他们 背 了 棺材 来 了 。
oh|they|carry|past tense marker|coffin|come|emphasis marker
Oh, they brought a coffin.
下 半天 ， 棺木 才 合 上 盖 ： 因为 单四 嫂子 哭 一回 ， 看 一回 ， 总 不肯 死心塌地 的 盖 上 ； 幸亏 王九妈 等 得 不耐烦 ， 气愤愤 的 跑 上前 ， 一把 拖开 他 ， 才 七手八脚 的 盖 上 了 。
After half a day, the coffin was finally closed: because Sister Shan Si cried once, looked once, and was unwilling to give up on the cover; fortunately, Wang Jiu Ma became impatient and angrily ran forward, dragged her away, and only then was the cover hastily put on.
但 单 四 嫂子 待 他 的 宝儿 ，实在 已经 尽 了 心 ，再 没有 什么 缺陷 。

But Sister Shan Si had truly done her best for her treasure, and there were no more flaws.
昨天 烧过 一串 纸钱 ，上午 又 烧 了 四十九 卷 《 大悲咒 》 ⑸；收敛 的时候 ，给 他 穿上 顶 新 的 衣裳 ，平日 喜欢 的 玩意儿 ，——一个 泥人 ，两个 小 木碗 ，两个 玻璃瓶 ，——都 放在 枕头 旁边 。

Yesterday, a string of paper money was burned, and in the morning, forty-nine volumes of the "Great Compassion Mantra" were burned; at the time of gathering, he was dressed in new clothes, and his favorite toys— a clay figure, two small wooden bowls, and two glass bottles— were all placed beside the pillow.
后来 王九妈 掐着 指头 子 细 推敲 ，也 终于 想不出 一些 什么 缺陷 。

Later, Wang Jiu Ma carefully pondered with her fingers and finally could not think of any flaws.
这 一日 里 ，蓝皮 阿五 简直 整天 没有 到 ；咸亨 掌柜 便 替 单四 嫂子 雇 了 两名 脚夫 ，每名 二百 另 十个 大钱 ，抬 棺木 到 义冢 地上 安放 。

On that day, Lan Pi A Wu did not show up at all; the shopkeeper of Xianheng hired two porters for Sister Shan Si, each paid two hundred and ten big coins, to carry the coffin to the burial ground.
王九妈 又 帮 他 煮 了 饭 ， 凡是 动 过手 开 过 口 的 人 都 吃了饭 。
Wang Jiuma cooked for him again, and everyone who had ever laid hands on or spoken to him had a meal.
太阳 渐渐 显出 要 落山 的 颜色 ；吃过饭 的 人 也 不觉 都 显出 要 回家 的 颜色 ，——于是 他们 终于 都 回 了 家 。

The sun gradually showed the colors of setting; those who had eaten also unconsciously showed signs of wanting to go home, - so they finally all went home.
单四 嫂子 很 觉得 头 眩 ，歇息 了 一会 ，倒 居然 有点 平稳 了 。
single four|sister-in-law|very|feel|head|dizzy|rest|past tense marker|a while|surprisingly|unexpectedly|a bit|stable|state change marker
Sister Shan Si felt very dizzy, and after resting for a while, she surprisingly felt a bit stable.
但 他 接连 着 便 觉得 很 异样 ：遇到 了 平生 没有 遇到 过 的 事 ，不像 会 有 的 事 ，然而 的确 出现 了 。
but|he|continuously|ongoing action marker|then|feel|very|strange|encounter|past tense marker|lifetime|never|encountered|past experience marker|attributive marker|thing|unlike|would|have|attributive marker|thing|however|indeed|appear|past tense marker
But he continued to feel very strange: he encountered something he had never experienced before, something that didn't seem like it would happen, yet it indeed occurred.
他 越 想 越 奇 ，又 感到 一件 异样 的 事 ——这 屋子 忽然 太 静 了 。
he|more|think|more|strange|also|feel|one|unusual|attributive marker|thing|this|room|suddenly|too|quiet|emphasis marker
The more he thought about it, the stranger it became, and he felt another odd thing - the room suddenly became too quiet.
他 站 起身 ，点上 灯火 ，屋子 越 显得 静 。
he|stand|up|light|lights|room|more|seem|quiet
He stood up, lit the lamp, and the room seemed even quieter.
他 昏昏 的 走 去 关上 门 ，回来 坐 在 床沿 上 ，纺车 静静的 立在 地上 。
he|drowsily|attributive marker|walk|to|close|door|come back|sit|on|bed edge|on|spinning wheel|quietly|stand|on the ground
He groggily walked to close the door, returned, and sat on the edge of the bed, the spinning wheel quietly standing on the ground.
他 定 一定 神 ，四面 一看 ，更 觉得 坐立 不得 ，屋子 不但 太静 ，而且 也 太大 了 ，东西 也 太空 了 。
he|definitely|surely|spirit|all around|one look|even more|feel|sit or stand|unable|room|not only|too quiet|moreover|also|too big|emphasis marker|things|also|too empty|emphasis marker
He steadied himself, looked around, and felt even more restless; the room was not only too quiet but also too large, and the things were too empty.
太大 的 屋子 四面 包围 着 他 ，太空 的 东西 四面 压着 他 ，叫 他 喘气 不得 。
too big|attributive marker|room|all sides|surround|ongoing action marker|him|space|attributive marker|things|all sides|pressing on|him|make|him|breathe|unable to
The too large room surrounded him on all sides, and the too empty things pressed down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
他 现在 知道 他 的 宝儿 确乎 死 了 ；不 愿意 见 这 屋子 ，吹熄 了 灯 ，躺 着 。
he|now|knows|his|attributive marker|treasure|indeed|dead|past tense marker|not|willing|see|this|room|blow out|past tense marker|light|lie|ongoing action marker
He now knew that his treasure was indeed dead; unwilling to see this room, he blew out the lamp and lay down.
他 一面 哭 ，一面 想 ：想 那 时候 ，自己 纺 着 棉纱 ，宝儿 坐在 身边 吃 茴香豆 ，瞪 着 一双 小 黑眼睛 想 了 一刻 ，便 说 ，“妈 ！

He cried while thinking: back then, he was spinning cotton yarn, and Bao'er was sitting beside him eating fennel beans, staring with a pair of small black eyes. After a moment, he said, 'Mom!'
爹 卖 馄饨 ，我 大 了 也 卖 馄饨 ，卖 许多 许多 钱 ，——我 都 给 你 。

Dad sells wontons, and when I grow up, I will also sell wontons, making a lot of money, — I will give it all to you.
”那 时候 ，真是 连 纺 出 的 棉纱 ，也 仿佛 寸寸 都 有意思 ，寸寸 都 活着 。
that|time|really|even|spin|out|attributive marker|cotton yarn|also|as if|inch by inch|all|interesting|inch by inch|all|alive
At that time, it really seemed that even the spun cotton yarn had meaning, every inch of it was alive.
但 现在 怎么 了 ？
but|now|what happened|emphasis marker
But what happened now?
现在 的 事 ，单四 嫂子 却 实在 没有 想到 什么 。
now|attributive marker|matter|Dan Si|sister-in-law|but|really|did not|think of|anything
As for the current situation, San Si's sister-in-law really couldn't think of anything.
——我 早经 说 过 ：他 是 粗笨 女人 。
I|already|said|past tense marker|he|is|clumsy|woman
—— I have said before: he is a clumsy woman.
他 能 想 出 什么 呢 ？
he|can|think|out|what|emphasis marker
What can he think of?
他 单 觉得 这 屋子 太 静 ，太 大 ，太 空 罢了 。
he|only|feel|this|room|too|quiet|too|big|too|empty|that's all
He simply feels that this room is too quiet, too big, too empty.
但 单四 嫂子 虽然 粗笨 ，却 知道 还魂 是 不能 有 的 事 ，他 的 宝儿 也 的确 不能 再见 了 。
but|Dan Si|sister-in-law|although|clumsy|yet|know|resurrection|is|cannot|have|attributive marker|thing|he|attributive marker|treasure|also|indeed|cannot|see again|emphasis marker
But although Sister Si is clumsy, she knows that a resurrection cannot happen, and he indeed cannot see his Bao'er again.
叹 一口气 ，自言自语 的 说 ，“宝儿 ，你 该 还 在 这里 ，你 给 我 梦里 见见 罢 。
sigh|one breath|to talk to oneself|attributive marker|say|darling|you|should|still|at|here|you|give|me|in the dream|see|please
Sighing, he mutters to himself, 'Bao'er, you should still be here, let me see you in my dreams.'
”于是 合上 眼 ，想 赶快 睡 去 ，会 他 的 宝儿 ，苦苦 的 呼吸 通过 了 静 和 大 和 空虚 ，自己 听得 明白 。
so|close|eyes|want|quickly|sleep|go|can|his|attributive marker|treasure|painfully|attributive marker|breathing|through|past tense marker|silence|and|vast|and|emptiness|oneself|hear|clearly
So I closed my eyes, wanting to fall asleep quickly, and his precious one, the painful breathing passed through the silence, the vastness, and the emptiness, I could hear it clearly.
单四 嫂子 终于 朦朦胧胧 的 走入 睡乡 ，全 屋子 都 很 静 。
single four|sister-in-law|finally|dim and hazy|attributive marker|walk into|land of sleep|all|room|all|very|quiet
Sister Dan Si finally hazily entered the land of sleep, the whole room was very quiet.
这时 红鼻子 老 拱 的 小曲 ，也 早经 唱 完 ； 跄跄 踉踉 出 了 咸亨 ，却 又 提尖 了 喉咙 ，唱道 ：“我 的 冤家 呀 ！

At this time, the little tune of the red-nosed old Gong had also long been sung; he staggered out of Xianheng, but then raised his throat and sang: "My enemy!"
—— 可怜 你 ，—— 孤 另 另 的 ……” 蓝皮 阿五便 伸手 揪住 了 老 拱 的 肩头 ， 两个 人七歪八斜 的 笑 着 挤 着 走 去 。
— Poor you, — all alone..." Lanpi Awu then reached out and grabbed the old Gong's shoulder, and the two of them laughed crookedly as they squeezed out.
单四 嫂子 早 睡着 了 ，老拱们 也 走 了 ，咸亨 也 关上 门 了 。
single four|sister-in-law|early|asleep|emphasis marker|old folks|also|leave|emphasis marker|Xianheng|also|closed|door|emphasis marker
Sister Dan Si had already fallen asleep, the old Gongs had also left, and Xianheng had closed the door.
这时 的 鲁镇 ，便 完全 落在 寂静 里 。
at this time|attributive marker|Lu Town|then|completely|fall into|silence|inside
At this time in Lu Town, it was completely enveloped in silence.
只有 那 暗夜 为 想 变成 明天 ，却 仍 在 这 寂静 里 奔波 ；另有 几条 狗 ，也 躲 在 暗地里 呜呜 的 叫 。

Only the dark night wished to turn into tomorrow, yet it still rushed about in this silence; a few dogs were also hiding in the shadows, howling softly.
