社戏
village opera
The Rural Opera
我 在 倒数 上去 的 二十年 中 ，只 看过 两回 中国 戏 ，前 十年 是 绝不 看 ，因为 没有 看戏 的 意思 和 机会 ，那 两回 全 在 后 十年 ，然而 都 没有 看出 什么 来 就 走 了 。
I|at|countdown|go up|attributive marker|twenty years|in|only|have seen|two times|China|opera|before|ten years|is|absolutely not|watch|because|no|watch opera|attributive marker|intention|and|opportunity|that|two times|all|in|later|ten years|however|all|did not|see out|anything|come|then|leave|past tense marker
In the twenty years leading up to my countdown, I have only seen Chinese opera twice. In the first ten years, I absolutely did not watch it, as I had no intention or opportunity to see a show. Those two times were both in the latter ten years, but I didn't really understand anything and just left.
第一回 是 民国 元年 我 初 到 北京 的 时候 ，当时 一个 朋友 对 我 说 ，北京 戏 最好 ，你 不 去 见 见 世面 么 ？
first time|is|Republic of China|first year|I|initially|arrive|Beijing|attributive marker|time|at that time|one|friend|to|me|said|Beijing|opera|the best|you|not|go|see|see|the world|question marker
The first time was in the first year of the Republic of China when I first arrived in Beijing. At that time, a friend said to me, 'Beijing opera is the best, aren't you going to see it and broaden your horizons?'
我 想 ，看戏 是 有味 的 ，而况 在 北京 呢 。
I|want|watch a play|is|interesting|attributive marker|moreover|in|Beijing|emphasis marker
I thought, watching a show must be interesting, especially in Beijing.
于是 都 兴致勃勃 的 跑 到 什么 园 ，戏文 已经 开场 了 ，在 外面 也 早 听到 冬冬 地 响 。
so|all|in high spirits|attributive marker|run|to|what|garden|play|already|started|past tense marker|at|outside|also|early|hear|sound of drums|adverbial marker|sound
So I excitedly ran to some garden, the performance had already started, and I could hear the sounds of the show from outside.
我们 挨 进门 ， 几个 红 的 绿 的 在 我 的 眼前 一 闪烁 ， 便 又 看见 戏台 下满 是 许多 头 ， 再 定神 四面 看 ， 却 见 中间 也 还有 几个 空座 ，， 挤过去 要 坐时 ， 又 有人 对 我 发议论 ， 我 因为 耳朵 已经 喤 的 响 着 了 ， 用 了 心 ， 才 听到 他 是 说 “ 有人 ， 不行 ！
We squeezed in through the door, and a few red and green lights flashed before my eyes, then I saw that the area in front of the stage was filled with many heads. When I focused and looked around, I noticed there were also a few empty seats in the middle. When I tried to squeeze in to sit down, someone started to comment on me. Because my ears were already ringing, I had to concentrate to hear him say, 'Someone, no way!'
”我们 退 到 后面 ，一个 辫子 很 光 的 却 来 领 我们 到 了 侧面 ，指出 一个 地位 来 。
we|retreat|to|back|one|braid|very|smooth|attributive marker|but|come|lead|us|to|past tense marker|side|point out|a|position|to
We retreated to the back, and a girl with a very smooth braid came to lead us to the side, pointing out a spot for us.
这 所谓 地位 者 ，原来 是 一条 长凳 ，然而 他 那 坐板 比 我 的 上 腿 要 狭 到 四分之三 ，他的 脚 比 我 的 下 腿 要 长 过 三分之二 。
this|so-called|position|one who|originally|is|one|long bench|however|he|that|seat board|than|my|attributive marker|on|thigh|to be|narrow|to|three quarters|his|feet|than|my|attributive marker|lower|leg|to be|longer|than|two thirds
This so-called spot turned out to be a long bench, but its seat was narrower than three-quarters of my thigh, and its footrest was longer than two-thirds of my lower leg.
我 先是 没有 爬上去 的 勇气 ，接着 便 联想 到 私刑 拷打 的 刑具 ，不由 的 毛骨悚然 的 走出 了 。
I|first|not have|climb up|attributive marker|courage|then|then|associate|to|vigilante|torture|attributive marker|instruments of torture|involuntarily|attributive marker|hair-raising|attributive marker|walk out|past tense marker
At first, I didn't have the courage to climb up, then I associated it with the torture devices of extrajudicial punishment, and I couldn't help but feel a chill and walked out.
走 了 许多 路 ，忽 听 得 我 的 朋友 的 声音 道 ，“究竟 怎 的 ？
walk|past tense marker|many|roads|suddenly|hear|attributive marker|my|attributive marker|friend|attributive marker|voice|say|exactly|how|attributive marker
After walking a long way, I suddenly heard my friend's voice say, 'What on earth is going on?'
”我 回过 脸 去 ，原来 他 也 被 我 带 出来 了 。
I|turned back|face|to|originally|he|also|by|me|bring|out|emphasis marker
" I turned my face away, and it turned out he was also brought out by me.
他 很 诧异 的 说 ，“怎么 总是 走 ，不 答应 ？
he|very|surprised|attributive marker|said|why|always|leave|not|respond
He said in surprise, "Why do you always walk away without answering?
”我 说 ，“朋友 ，对不起 ，我 耳朵 只 在 冬冬 喤喤 的 响 ，并 没有 听到 你 的话 。
I|say|friend|sorry|I|ears|only|at|Dong Dong|ringing|attributive marker|sound|and|did not|hear|you|words
I said, "Sorry, my ears are only ringing with Dongdong's sounds, and I didn't hear your words.
”后来 我 每 一 想到 ，便 很 以为 奇怪 ，似乎 这 戏 太 不好 ，——否则 便是 我 近来 在 戏台 下 不 适于 生存 了 。
later|I|every|one|think of|then|very|think|strange|seems|this|play|too|bad|otherwise|it is|I|recently|at|theater|under|not|suitable for|survive|emphasis marker
Later, every time I thought about it, I found it very strange, as if this play was too bad, - otherwise, I would have been unsuitable for survival off the stage recently.
第二回 忘记 了 那 一年 ，总之 是 募集 湖北 水灾 捐 而 谭叫天 ⑵ 还 没有 死 。
second time|forget|emphasis marker|that|one year|in short|is|collect|Hubei|flood disaster|donation|and|Tan Jiao Tian|still|not yet|dead
The second time I forgot that year, in short, it was a fundraising for the Hubei flood disaster, and Tan Jiaotian was still not dead.
捐法 是 两元 钱 买 一张 戏票 ，可以 到 第一 舞台 去 看戏 ，扮演 的 多 是 名角 ，其一 就是 小 叫 天 。
donation method|is|two yuan|money|buy|one|ticket|can|to|first|stage|go|watch a play|play the role of|attributive marker|mostly|is|famous actors|one of them|is|||
The donation method is to buy a ticket for two yuan, which allows you to go to the first stage to watch a play, where many famous actors perform, one of whom is the little call of heaven.
我 买 了 一张 票 ，本是 对于 劝募人 聊以 塞责 的 ，然而 似乎 又 有 好事家 乘机 对 我 说 了 些 叫 天 不可 不 看 的大法 要 了 。
I|buy|past tense marker|one|ticket|originally|regarding|fundraiser|just to|fulfill responsibility|attributive marker|however|seems|again|have|do-gooder|take the opportunity|to|me|say|past tense marker|some|called|heaven|must not|not|see|the great law|wanted|emphasis marker
I bought a ticket, originally just to fulfill my obligation to the fundraiser, but it seemed that some good-hearted people took the opportunity to tell me that the little call of heaven was a must-see.
我 于是 忘 了 前 几年 的 冬冬 喤 喤 之 灾 ，竟 到 第一 舞台 去 了 ，但 大约 一半 也 因为 重价 购来 的 宝票 ，总得 使用 了 才 舒服 。
I|then|forget|past tense marker|previous|few years|attributive marker|winter|||attributive marker|disaster|unexpectedly|to|first|stage|go|emphasis marker|but|about|half|also|because|high price|bought|attributive marker|precious tickets|must|use|emphasis marker|only|comfortable
So I forgot about the disasters of the past few winters and actually went to the first stage, but probably half of it was also because I had to use the expensive ticket I bought to feel comfortable.
我 打听 得 叫 天 出台 是 迟 的 ，而 第一 舞台 却 是 新式 构造 ，用不着 争 座位 ，便 放 了 心 ，延宕 到 九点钟 才 去 ，谁料 照例 ，人 都 满 了 ，连 立足 也 难 ，我 只得 挤 在 远处 的 人丛中 看 一个 老旦 在 台上 唱 。
I|inquire|emphasis marker|called|day|stage|is|late|attributive marker|but|first|stage|however|is|new-style|structure|no need to|争夺|seats|then|put|past tense marker|mind|delay|until|nine o'clock|only then|go|who would have thought|as usual|people|all|full|emphasis marker|even|stand|also|difficult|I|had to|squeeze|in|distance|attributive marker|crowd|watch|one|old dan|on|stage|sing
I inquired and learned that the little call of heaven would be late, and since the first stage was a new structure, there was no need to fight for seats, so I relaxed and delayed going until nine o'clock, but to my surprise, as usual, it was full, and it was hard to even find a place to stand, so I had to squeeze in among the crowd to see an old dan singing on stage.
那 老旦 嘴边 插 着 两个 点火 的 纸 捻子 ，旁边 有 一个 鬼 卒 ，我 费尽 思量 ，才 疑心 他 或者 是 目连 ⑶的 母亲 ，因为 后来 又 出来 了 一个 和尚 。
that|old dan|by the mouth|insert|ongoing action marker|two|lit|attributive marker|paper|twist|beside|there is|one|ghost|soldier|I|exhaust|thought|only then|suspect|he|or|is|Mu Lian|attributive marker|mother|because|later|again|come out|past tense marker|one|monk
The old dan had two lit paper twists stuck in her mouth, and beside her was a ghost soldier. I thought hard and suspected that he might be the mother of Mulan, because later a monk also came out.
然而 我 又 不 知道 那 名角 是 谁 ，就 去 问 挤 小 在 我 的 左边 的 一位 胖 绅士 。
however|I|again|not|know|that|actor|is|who|then|go|ask|crowded|small|at|my|attributive marker|left side|attributive marker|one|fat|gentleman
However, I did not know who that character was, so I went to ask a fat gentleman sitting to my left.
他 很 看不起 似的 斜瞥 了 我 一眼 ，说道 ，“龚云甫 ⑷！
he|very|look down on|as if|sideways glance|past tense marker|me|one glance|said|Gong Yunfu
He glanced at me with a look of disdain and said, "Gong Yunfu!"
” 我 深愧 浅陋 而且 粗疏 ， 脸上 一热 ， 同时 脑里 也 制出 了 决不再 问 的 定章 ， 于是 看 小旦 唱 ， 看 花旦 唱 ， 看 老生 唱 ， 看 不知 什么 角色 唱 ， 看 一大 班人 乱打 ， 看 两三个 人 互打 ， 从 九点 多到 十点 ， 从 十点 到 十一点 ， 从 十一点 到 十一点半 ， 从 十一点半 到 十二点 ，—— 然而 叫 天竟 还 没有 来 。
I felt deeply ashamed of my ignorance and clumsiness, my face flushed, and at the same time, I made a firm resolution in my mind to never ask again. So I watched the young dan perform, watched the hua dan perform, watched the old sheng perform, watched some unknown character perform, watched a large group of people play chaotically, watched two or three people fight each other, from after nine to ten, from ten to eleven, from eleven to eleven-thirty, from eleven-thirty to twelve—yet the character still had not come.
我 向来 没有 这样 忍耐 的 等待 过 什么 事物 ，而况 这 身边 的 胖 绅士 的 吁吁 的 喘气 ，这 台上 的 冬冬 喤喤 的 敲打 ，红红绿绿 的 晃荡 ，加之 以 十二点 ，忽而 使 我 省 误到 在 这里 不 适于 生存 了 。
I|always|never|such|patience|attributive marker|waiting|past experience marker|any|things|moreover|this|beside|attributive marker|fat|gentleman|attributive marker|wheezing|attributive marker|breathing|this|on stage|attributive marker|sound of drumming|sound of drumming|attributive marker|beating|colorful|attributive marker|swaying|in addition|with|twelve o'clock|suddenly|make|me|realize|mistake|in|here|not|suitable for|survival|emphasis marker
I had never waited so patiently for anything before, especially with the heavy breathing of the fat gentleman beside me, the loud clattering on stage, the flashing red and green lights, and with it being twelve o'clock, I suddenly felt that I was no longer suited to exist here.
我 同时 便 机械 的 拧 转 身子 ，用力 往外 只 一 挤 ，觉得 背后 便 已 满满的 ，大约 那 弹性 的 胖 绅士 早 在 我 的 空处 胖开 了 他 的 右 半身 了 。
I|at the same time|then|mechanically|attributive marker|twist|turn|body|forcefully|outward|only|one|push|feel|behind|then|already|full|approximately|that|elastic|attributive marker|fat|gentleman|early|in|my|attributive marker|empty space|spread out|past tense marker|his|attributive marker|right|side|past tense marker
At the same time, I mechanically turned my body, pushed hard to squeeze out, and felt that my back was already full; perhaps that elastic fat gentleman had already spread his right side into the space I left.
我 后 无 回路 ，自然 挤 而 又 挤 2 ，终于 出了 大门 。
I|after|no|way back|naturally|squeeze|and|again|squeeze|finally|out|gate
I had no way back, naturally squeezed and squeezed again, and finally exited the big gate.
街上 除了 专等 看客 的 车辆 之外 ， 几乎 没有 什么 行人 了 ， 大门口 却 还有 十几个 人昂 着 头 看 戏目 ， 别有 一堆 人站 着 并 不 看 什么 ， 我 想 ： 他们 大概 是 看 散戏 之后 出来 的 女 人们 的 ， 而 叫 天 却 还 没有 来 …… 然而 夜气 很 清爽 ， 真 所谓 “ 沁人心脾 ”， 我 在 北京 遇着 这样 的 好 空气 ， 仿佛 这是 第一遭 了 。
On the street, besides the vehicles waiting for spectators, there were hardly any pedestrians; however, there were still a dozen people at the entrance looking up at the performance, and a group of people standing around not watching anything. I thought: they were probably the women who came out after the show, and the sky was still not dark yet... However, the night air was very refreshing, truly 'refreshing to the heart and lungs.' It felt like this was the first time I encountered such good air in Beijing.
这 一夜 ， 就是 我 对于 中国 戏告 了 别的 一夜 ， 此后 再 没有 想到 他 ， 即使 偶而 经过 戏园 ， 我们 也 漠不相关 ， 精神 上 早已 一在 天之南 一 在 地之北 了 。
That night was my farewell to Chinese opera; after that, I never thought of it again. Even if I occasionally passed by the theater, we were already indifferent to each other, spiritually far apart, one in the southern sky and the other in the northern ground.
但是 前 几天 ， 我 忽 在 无意之中 看到 一本 日本 文 的 书 ， 可惜 忘记 了 书名 和 著者 ， 总之 是 关于 中国 戏 的 。
But a few days ago, I accidentally came across a book in Japanese literature. Unfortunately, I forgot the title and the author; in any case, it was about Chinese opera.
其中 有 一篇 ，大意 仿佛 说 ，中国 戏 是 大 敲 ，大 叫 ，大 跳 ，使 看客 头昏脑眩 ，很 不 适于 剧场 ，但 若 在 野外 散漫 的 所在 ，远远 的 看起来 ，也 自有 他 的 风致 。
among them|there is|one article|main idea|as if|said|China|drama|is|loud|banging|loud|shouting|big|jumping|make|audience|dizzy|very|not|suitable for|theater|but|if|in|wilderness|casual|attributive marker|place|far away|attributive marker|looks|also|has its own|its|attributive marker|charm
One of the articles seemed to say that Chinese opera is loud, boisterous, and acrobatic, making the audience dizzy, which is not suitable for the theater. But if viewed from a distance in a relaxed outdoor setting, it has its own charm.
我 当时 觉着 这 正是 说 了 在 我 意中 而 未曾 想到 的话 ，因为 我 确 记得 在 野外 看过 很 好 的 戏 ，到 北京 以后 的 连 进 两回 戏园 去 ，也许 还是 受 了 那时 的 影响 哩 。
I|at that time|felt|this|exactly|said|emphasis marker|in|my|mind|and|never|thought|words|because|I|indeed|remember|in|wilderness|seen|very|good|attributive marker|play|to|Beijing|after|attributive marker|even|enter|twice|theater|to|perhaps|still|influenced|past tense marker|that time|attributive marker|influence|emphasis marker
At that time, I felt that this was exactly what I had in mind but had not expected to hear, because I clearly remember having seen some great plays in the wild, and after arriving in Beijing, I went to the theater twice in a row, perhaps still influenced by that time.
可惜 我 不 知道 怎么 一来 ，竟 将 书名 忘却 了 。
unfortunately|I|not|know|how|come|unexpectedly|to|book title|forget|emphasis marker
Unfortunately, I don't know how it happened, but I actually forgot the title of the book.
至于 我 看 好戏 的 时候 ，却 实在 已经 是 “远哉 遥遥 ”的 了 ，其时 恐怕 我 还 不过 十一二岁 。
as for|I|watch|good shows|attributive marker|time|but|really|already|is|so far away|distant|attributive marker|emphasis marker|at that time|probably|I|still|only|eleven or twelve years old
As for when I enjoyed watching plays, it was indeed already a long time ago; at that time, I was probably only eleven or twelve years old.
我们 鲁镇 的 习惯 ，本来 是 凡 有 出嫁 的 女儿 ，倘 自己 还 未 当家 ，夏间 便 大抵 回到 母家 去 消夏 。
we|Lu Town|attributive marker|habit|originally|is|every|have|married|attributive marker|daughter|if|oneself|still|not|head of the household|summer|then|mostly|return to|maternal home|to|spend summer
In our Lu Town, the custom is that whenever there is a married daughter, if she has not yet taken charge of her own household, she generally returns to her mother's home for the summer.
那时 我 的 祖母 虽然 还 康建 ，但 母亲 也 已 分担 了 些 家务 ，所以 夏期 便 不能 多日 的 归省 了 ，只得 在 扫墓 完毕 之后 ，抽空 去 住 几天 ，这时 我 便 每年 跟 了 我 的 母亲 住 在 外祖母 的 家里 。
at that time|I|attributive marker|grandmother|although|still|healthy|but|mother|also|already|share|past tense marker|some|household chores|so|summer|then|cannot|many days|attributive marker|return home|past tense marker|had to|in|tomb sweeping|completed|after|find time|to go|stay|a few days|at this time|I|then|every year|with|past tense marker|my|attributive marker|mother|live|in|maternal grandmother|attributive marker|home
At that time, although my grandmother was still healthy, my mother had already taken on some household chores, so she could not return home for many days during the summer; she could only find time to stay for a few days after the tomb-sweeping was completed, and during this time, I would go every year to stay at my grandmother's house with my mother.
那 地方 叫 平桥 村 ， 是 一个 离 海边 不远 ， 极 偏僻 的 ， 临河 的 小 村庄 ； 住户 不满 三十家 ， 都 种田 ， 打鱼 ， 只有 一家 很小 的 杂货店 。
That place is called Pingqiao Village, a small village not far from the seaside, extremely remote, and by the river; there are fewer than thirty households, all farming and fishing, with only one very small grocery store.
但 在 我 是 乐土 ： 因为 我 在 这里 不但 得到 优待 ， 又 可以 免念 “ 秩 秩斯干 幽幽 南山 ”⑸ 了 。
But for me, it is a paradise: because here I not only receive preferential treatment, but I can also avoid reciting 'Zhi Zhi Si Gan You You Nan Shan'.
和 我 一同 玩 的 是 许多 小朋友 ，因为 有 了 远客 ，他们 也 都 从 父母 那里 得 了 减少 工作 的 许可 ，伴 我 来 游戏 。
and|I|together|play|attributive marker|is|many|children|because|have|past tense marker|guests from afar|they|also|all|from|parents|there|obtain|past tense marker|reduce|work|attributive marker|permission|accompany|me|to|play
Playing with me are many little friends, because with the arrival of distant guests, they also received permission from their parents to reduce their work and accompany me to play.
在 小 村里 ，一家 的 客 ，几乎 也 就是 公共 的 。
in|small|village|one family|attributive marker|guest|almost|also|is|public|attributive marker
In the small village, a guest of one family is almost considered public.
我们 年纪 都 相仿 ，但 论起 行辈 来 ，却 至少 是 叔子 ，有 几个 还是 太公 ，因为 他们 合村 都 同姓 ，是 本家 。
we|age|all|similar|but|speaking of|generation|in terms of|however|at least|is|nephew|some|a few|or|great-grandfather|because|they|in the same village|all|share the same surname|are|relatives
We are all about the same age, but in terms of generation, we are at least cousins, and some are even great-grandchildren, because they all share the same surname in the village and are from the same family.
然而 我们 是 朋友 ，即使 偶而 吵闹 起来 ，打 了 太公 ，一村 的 老老少少 ，也 决 没 有 一个 会 想 出 “犯上 ”这 两个 字 来 ，而 他们 也 百分之九十九 不 识字 。
however|we|are|friends|even if|occasionally|quarrel|up|hit|past tense marker|grandfather|the whole village|attributive marker|old and young|also|definitely|not|have|one|would|think|out|rebel|these|two|words|to|and|they|also|ninety-nine percent|not|literate
However, we are friends. Even if we occasionally quarrel and fight, not a single person in the village, young or old, would think of the words 'offend the superior,' even though ninety-nine percent of them are illiterate.
我们 每天 的 事情 大概 是 掘 蚯蚓 ，掘 来 穿 在 铜丝 做 的小 钩 上 ，伏 在 河沿 上 去 钓 虾 。
we|every day|attributive marker|things|approximately|is|dig|earthworms|dig|to|thread|on|copper wire|made|attributive marker|hooks|on|lie|at|riverbank|on|to|fish|shrimp
Our daily activities probably involve digging for earthworms, which we then put on small hooks made of copper wire, and then we lie by the riverbank to fish for shrimp.
虾 是 水 世界 里 的 呆子 ， 决不 惮 用 了 自己 的 两个 钳 捧 着 钩 尖 送到 嘴里 去 的 ， 所以 不 半天 便 可以 钓到 一 大碗 。
Shrimp are the fools of the water world; they are not afraid to use their two pincers to bring the hook to their mouths, so it doesn't take long before we can catch a big bowl full.
这 虾 照例 是 归 我 吃 的 。
this|shrimp|as usual|is|for|me|eat|emphasis marker
This shrimp is usually for me to eat.
其次 便是 一同 去 放牛 ，但 或者 因为 高等动物 了 的 缘故 罢 ，黄牛 水牛 都 欺生 ，敢于 欺侮 我 ，因此 我 也 总 不敢 走近 身 ，只好 远远地 跟着 ，站着 。
secondly|is|together|to|graze cattle|but|perhaps|because|higher animals|emphasis marker|attributive marker|reason|emphasis marker|yellow cattle|water buffalo|all|bully|dare to|insult|me|therefore|I|also|always|dare not|approach|body|had to|far away|follow|standing
Next, we go to herd the cattle together, but perhaps because they are higher animals, the yellow cattle and water buffalo bully me, so I always dare not approach them closely and can only follow from a distance, standing.
这时候 ，小朋友们 便 不再 原谅 我 会 读 “秩秩斯干 ”，却 全都 嘲笑 起来 了 。
at this time|children|then|no longer|forgive|I|can|read|zhizhi sikan|but|all|laughed at|started|past tense marker
At that time, the children no longer forgave me for reading 'Zhi Zhi Si Gan', but all started to laugh.
至于 我 在 那里 所 第一 盼望 的 ，却 在 到 赵庄 去 看戏 。
as for|I|at|there|that|first|hope|attributive marker|but|in|to|Zhao Village|go|watch a play
As for what I was looking forward to there, it was going to Zhao Village to watch a play.
赵庄 是 离 平桥 村 五里 的 较大 的 村庄 ； 平桥 村 太小 ， 自己 演不起 戏 ， 每年 总 付给 赵庄 多少钱 ， 算作 合 做 的 。
Zhao Village is a larger village five miles away from Pingqiao Village; Pingqiao Village is too small to host a play, and every year it pays Zhao Village a certain amount of money as a partnership.
当时 我 并 不 想到 他们 为什么 年 年 要 演戏 。
at that time|I|not|not|think of|they|why|||want to|act
At that time, I didn't think about why they performed plays every year.
现在 想 ，那 或者 是 春赛 ，是 社戏 ⑹了 。
now|want|that|or|is|spring competition|is|community drama|emphasis marker
Now I think, perhaps it was for the spring festival, or it was a community play.
就 在 我 十一 二 岁 时候 的 这 一年 ，这 日期 也 看看 等到 了 。

It was during the year when I was eleven or twelve years old, and this date was also looked forward to.
不料 这 一年 真 可惜 ，在 早上 就 叫 不到 船 。
unexpectedly|this|one year|really|pity|at|morning|already|call|not able to reach|boat
Unexpectedly, it was really unfortunate that I couldn't catch a boat in the morning.
平桥 村 只有 一只 早出晚归 的 航船 是 大船 ，决 没有 留用 的 道理 。
Pingqiao|village|only|one|early out and late back|attributive marker|ship|is|big ship|definitely|no|reserve|attributive marker|reason
In Pingqiao Village, there was only one large boat that left early and returned late, and there was no reason to keep it.
其余 的 都 是 小船 ，不合 用 ；央人 到 邻村 去 问 ，也 没有 ，早 都 给 别人 定下 了 。
the rest|attributive marker|all|are|small boats|not suitable|for use|ask someone|to|neighboring village|to|ask|also|none|already|all|to|others|reserved|emphasis marker
The rest were all small boats, which were not suitable; when I asked people in the neighboring village, there were none available, as they had all been reserved by others.
外祖母 很 气恼 ， 怪 家里 的 人 不 早定 ， 絮叨 起来 。
My grandmother was very angry, blaming the family for not making arrangements earlier, and she started to grumble.
母亲 便 宽慰 伊 ，说 我们 鲁镇 的 戏 比 小 村里 的 好 得多 ，一年 看 几回 ，今天 就算 了 。
mother|then|comfort|her|said|we|Lu Town|attributive marker|play|than|small|village|attributive marker|good|much more|once a year|watch|a few times|today|just consider|emphasis marker
Mother comforted me, saying that the plays in our Lu Town are much better than those in the small village, and that we only watch them a few times a year, so today can be skipped.
只有 我 急 得 要 哭 ，母亲 却 竭力 的 嘱咐 我 ，说 万 不能 装模装样 ，怕 又 招 外祖母 生气 ，又 不准 和 别人 一同 去 ，说 是 怕 外祖母 要 担心 。
only|I|anxious|emphasis marker|want|cry|mother|but|desperately|attributive marker|advise|me|said|absolutely|must not|pretend|afraid|again|provoke|grandmother|angry|and|not allowed|with|others|together|go|said|is|afraid|grandmother|to|worry
I was the only one who was anxious to cry, but my mother insisted that I must not act pretentiously, fearing it would anger my grandmother, and she also forbade me from going with others, saying it was to prevent my grandmother from worrying.
总之 ，是 完 了 。
in short|is|finished|emphasis marker
In short, it was all over.
到 下午 ，我 的 朋友 都 去 了 ，戏 已经 开场 了 ，我 似乎 听到 锣鼓 的 声音 ，而且 知道 他们 在 戏台 下 买 豆浆 喝 。

By the afternoon, all my friends had gone, the play had already started, and I seemed to hear the sound of gongs and drums, and I knew they were buying soy milk to drink under the stage.
这 一天 我 不 钓虾 ，东西 也 少 吃 。
this|day|I|not|fish for shrimp|food|also|little|eat
That day I didn't go shrimp fishing, and I ate very little.
母亲 很 为难 ，没有 法子 想 。
mother|very|difficult|no|way|think
Mother was very troubled and couldn't think of a way.
到 晚饭 时候 ， 外祖母 也 终于 觉察 了 ， 并且 说 我 应当 不 高兴 ， 他们 太 怠慢 ， 是 待客 的 礼数 里 从来 没有 的 。
By dinner time, grandmother finally noticed and said that I should not be unhappy; they were too neglectful, which is something that has never been part of hospitality.
吃饭 之后 ，看过 戏 的 少年 们 也 都 聚拢 来 了 ，高高兴兴 的 来 讲 戏 。
eat|after|have seen|play|attributive marker|boys|plural marker|also|all|gather|come|past tense marker|happily|attributive marker|come|tell|play
After dinner, the boys who had seen the play also gathered around, happily talking about the show.
只有 我 不 开口 ；他们 都 叹息 而且 表 同情 。
only|I|not|speak|they|all|sigh|and|show|sympathy
Only I remained silent; they all sighed and expressed sympathy.
忽然间 ，一个 最 聪明 的 双喜 大悟 似的 提议 了 ，他说 ，“大船 ？
suddenly|one|most|intelligent|attributive marker|double happiness|enlightenment|like|proposal|past tense marker|he said|big ship
Suddenly, one of the smartest, like a light bulb going off, proposed, "Big ship?"
八叔 的 航船 不是 回来 了 么 ？
uncle eight|attributive marker|ship|is not|come back|emphasis marker|question marker
Isn't Uncle Ba's ship back?
”十几个 别的 少年 也 大悟 ，立刻 撺掇 起来 ，说 可以 坐 了 这 航船 和 我 一同 去 。
more than ten|other|boys|also|realize|immediately|urge|to start|say|can|ride|emphasis marker|this|ship|and|I|together|go
A dozen other boys also realized this and immediately urged that they could take this ship and go with me.
我 高兴 了 。
I|happy|emphasis marker
I was happy.
然而 外祖母 又 怕 都 是 孩子 ， 不 可靠 ； 母亲 又 说 是 若 叫 大人 一同 去 ， 他们 白天 全有 工作 ， 要 他 熬夜 ， 是 不合情理 的 。
However, my grandmother was worried that they were all children and not reliable; my mother also said that if we brought adults along, they would all have work during the day, and it would be unreasonable to make them stay up all night.
在 这 迟疑 之中 ，双喜 可 又 看出 底细 来 了 ，便 又 大声 的 说道 ， “ 我 写 包票 ！
at|this|hesitation|in|Shuangxi|but|again|see|details|come|emphasis marker|then|again|loudly|attributive marker|said|I|write|guarantee
In this hesitation, Shuangxi could see the details and loudly said, 'I will write a guarantee!'
船 又 大 ；迅 哥儿 向来 不 乱跑 ；我们 又 都 是 识 水性 的 ！

The boat is big; Xun Ge'er has never been reckless; and we all know how to swim!
”诚然 ！

"Indeed!
这 十多个 少年 ，委实 没有 一个 不会 凫水 的 ，而且 两三个 还是 弄潮 的 好手 。
this|more than ten|boys|indeed|not have|one|cannot|swim|attributive marker|and also|two or three|still|play in the waves|attributive marker|expert
Among these more than ten boys, there truly isn't one who can't swim, and two or three are quite skilled at surfing the waves.
外祖母 和 母亲 也 相信 ，便 不再 驳回 ，都 微笑 了 。
grandmother|and|mother|also|believe|then|no longer|refute|all|smile|emphasis marker
Grandmother and mother also believed it, so they no longer objected and both smiled.
我们 立刻 一哄 的 出了 门 。
we|immediately|all at once|attributive marker|out|door
We immediately rushed out together.
我 的 很 重 的 心 忽而 轻松 了 ，身体 也 似乎 舒展 到 说不出 的 大 。
I|attributive marker|very|heavy|attributive marker|heart|suddenly|relaxed|past tense marker|body|also|seem|stretch|to|indescribable|attributive marker|large
My heavy heart suddenly became light, and my body seemed to stretch to an indescribable extent.
一 出门 ，便 望见 月下 的 平桥 内 泊 着 一只 白篷 的 航船 ，大家 跳 下 船 ，双喜 拔 前 篙 ，阿发 拔 后 篙 ，年幼 的 都 陪 我 坐 在 舱中 ，较大 的 聚 在 船尾 。
one|go out|then|see|under the moon|attributive marker|flat bridge|inside|dock|ongoing action marker|one|white canopy|attributive marker|ship|everyone|jump|down|boat|Shuangxi|pull|front|pole|Afa|pull|back|pole|young|attributive marker|all|accompany|me|sit|in|cabin|older|attributive marker|gather|at|stern
As soon as we stepped out, we saw a white-sailed boat docked under the moonlight on the flat bridge. Everyone jumped off the boat, with Shuangxi taking the front oar and Afu taking the rear oar, while the younger ones accompanied me in the cabin and the older ones gathered at the stern.
母亲 送 出来 吩咐 “要 小心 ”的 时候 ，我们 已经 点 开船 ，在 桥 石上 一 磕 ，退后 几尺 ，即 又 上前 出 了 桥 。
mother|send|out|instructed|to|be careful|attributive marker|time|we|already|start|sailing|on|bridge|stone|one|bump|back up|a few feet|then|again|move forward|out|past tense marker|bridge
When my mother sent us off with a reminder to 'be careful,' we had already started the boat. We bumped against the bridge stones, backed up a few feet, and then moved forward again to leave the bridge.
于是 架起 两支 橹 ， 一支 两人 ， 一 里 一换 ， 有 说 笑 的 ， 有 嚷 的 ， 夹 着 潺潺 的 船头 激水 的 声音 ， 在 左右 都 是 碧绿 的 豆 麦田 地 的 河流 中 ， 飞 一般 径向 赵庄 前进 了 。
We then set up two oars, one for two people, alternating every mile. Some were chatting and laughing, while others were shouting, mixed with the sound of the splashing water at the bow, as we flew down the river surrounded by green fields of beans and wheat, heading towards Zhao Village.
两岸 的 豆麦 和 河底 的 水草 所 发散 出来 的 清香 ，夹杂 在 水气 中 扑面 的 吹来 ；月色 便 朦胧 在 这 水气 里 。

The fragrance emitted by the beans and wheat on both banks and the water plants at the riverbed wafted towards us, mingling with the mist; the moonlight became hazy in this mist.
淡黑 的 起伏 的 连山 ，仿佛 是 踊跃 的 铁 的 兽 脊 似的 ，都 远远 的 向 船尾 跑去 了 ，但 我 却 还 以为 船 慢 。

The dark gray undulating mountains seemed like the spine of a leaping iron beast, all running far towards the stern of the ship, but I still thought the ship was slow.
他们 换 了 四 回 手 ，渐 望见 依稀 的 赵庄 ，而且 似乎 听到 歌 吹 了 ，还有 几点 火 ，料想 便是 戏台 ，但 或者 也许 是 渔火 。

They changed hands four times and gradually caught a glimpse of the faint Zhao Village, and it seemed they could hear singing, along with a few flickers of fire, which they guessed was the stage, but it might also be fishing lights.
那 声音 大概 是 横笛 ，宛转 ，悠扬 ，使 我 的 心 也 沉静 ，然而 又 自失 起来 ，觉得 要 和 他 弥散 在 含着 豆麦 蕴藻 之 香 的 夜气 里 。

The sound was probably from a flute, melodious and lingering, calming my heart, yet I also felt lost, thinking I wanted to dissolve into the night air filled with the fragrance of beans and wheat.
那 火 接近 了 ，果然 是 渔火 ；我 才 记得 先前 望见 的 也 不是 赵庄 。
that|fire|close to|emphasis marker|as expected|is|fishing lights|I|only then|remember|earlier|see|attributive marker|also|not|Zhao village
As the fire drew closer, it turned out to be fishing lights; I then remembered that what I had seen earlier was not Zhao Village.
那 是 正 对 船头 的 一丛 松柏林 ，我 去年 也 曾经 去 游玩 过 ，还 看见 破 的 石马 倒 在 地下 ，一个 石羊 蹲 在 草里 呢 。

That was a grove of pine and cypress directly in front of the bow of the ship, which I had visited last year, and I even saw a broken stone horse lying on the ground, with a stone sheep crouching in the grass.
过 了 那 林 ，船 便 弯 进 了 叉 港 ，于是 赵庄 便 真 在 眼前 了 。
past|emphasis marker|that|forest|boat|then|turn|into|emphasis marker|fork|port|so|Zhao village|then|really|at|in front of|emphasis marker
After passing that forest, the boat turned into the forked harbor, and then Zhao Village was right in front of us.
最 惹眼 的 是 屹立 在 庄外 临河 的 空地 上 的 一座 戏台 ，模胡 在 远处 的 月夜 中 ，和 空间 几乎 分不出 界限 ，我 疑心 画上 见过 的 仙境 ，就在 这里 出现 了 。
most|eye-catching|attributive marker|is|stand tall|at|outside the village|by the river|attributive marker|open space|on|attributive marker|one|stage|blurred|in|distance|attributive marker|moonlit night|in|and|space|almost|distinguish|boundary|I|suspect|in the painting|seen|attributive marker|fairyland|just at|here|appear|emphasis marker
The most eye-catching thing was a stage standing on the open space by the river outside the village, almost indistinguishable from the moonlit space in the distance; I suspected that the fairyland I had seen in the painting appeared right here.
这时 船 走 得 更 快 ，不多时 ，在 台上 显出 人物 来 ，红红绿绿 的 动 ，近台 的 河里 一望 乌黑 的 是 看戏 的人家 的 船篷 。

At this moment, the boat moved faster, and soon figures appeared on the stage, moving in red and green; in the river near the stage, the dark shapes were the boat canopies of the spectators.
“近台 没有 什么 空 了 ，我们 远远 的 看 罢 。
near stage|no|anything|space|emphasis marker|we|far away|attributive marker|watch|stop
"There isn't much space near the stage, let's watch from a distance."
”阿发 说 。
Afa|said
Afa said.
这时 船 慢 了 ，不久 就 到 ，果然 近 不得 台旁 ，大家 只能 下 了 篙 ，比 那 正 对 戏台 的 神棚 还要 远 。
at this time|boat|slow|emphasis marker|soon|then|arrive|as expected|close|cannot|side of the stage|everyone|can only|put down|past tense marker|pole|compared to|that|directly|opposite|stage|attributive marker|shrine|even more|far
At this time, the boat slowed down, and soon arrived, indeed unable to get close to the stage, everyone could only lower the poles, which was even farther than the divine shelf directly opposite the stage.
其实 我们 这白篷 的 航船 ， 本 也 不 愿意 和 乌篷 的 船 在 一处 ， 而况 没有 空地 呢 …… 在 停船 的 匆忙 中 ， 看见 台上 有 一个 黑 的 长胡子 的 背上 插 着 四张 旗 ， 捏 着 长枪 ， 和 一群 赤膊 的 人 正 打仗 。
In fact, our white canopy boat did not want to be near the black canopy boat, let alone there was no space... In the rush of stopping the boat, I saw on the stage a man with a long black beard, with four flags stuck in his back, holding a long spear, fighting with a group of bare-chested people.
双喜 说 ，那 就是 有名 的 铁头 老生 ，能 连 翻 八十四 个 筋斗 ，他 日里 亲自 数过 的 。
Shuangxi|said|that|is|famous|attributive marker|iron head|old student|can|even|flip|eighty-four|measure word|somersault|he|during the day|personally|counted|attributive marker
Shuangxi said, 'That is the famous Iron-Head Old Performer, who can flip over eighty-four somersaults; he counted them himself during the day.'
我们 便 都 挤 在 船头 上 看 打仗 ，但 那 铁头 老生 却 又 并不 翻筋斗 ，只有 几个 赤膊 的人 翻 ，翻了 一阵 ，都 进去 了 ，接着 走出 一个 小旦 来 ，咿咿呀呀 的 唱 。
we|then|all|squeeze|at|bow of the boat|on|watch|fight|but|that|iron-headed|old student|however|again|not at all|do somersaults|only|a few|bare-chested|people|flip|flipped|for a while|all|went in|past tense marker|then|walked out|one|young female performer|come|in a sing-song voice|attributive marker|sing
So we all squeezed at the bow of the boat to watch the fight, but the Iron-Head Old Performer did not flip at all; only a few bare-chested people flipped, and after a while, they all went in, followed by a young female performer who came out singing softly.
双喜 说 ，“晚上 看客 少 ，铁头 老生 也 懈 了 ，谁 肯 显 本领 给 白地 看 呢 ？
Shuangxi|said|evening|audience|few|Tie Tou|old performer|also|slack|emphasis marker|who|willing|show|skills|to|in vain|see|emphasis marker
Shuangxi said, 'In the evening, there are fewer spectators, and the Iron-Head Old Performer is also lazy; who would want to show off their skills for the empty space to see?'
” 我 相信 这话 对 ， 因为 其时 台下 已经 不 很 有人 ， 乡下人 为了 明天 的 工作 ， 熬 不得 夜 ， 早 都 睡觉 去 了 ， 疏疏 朗朗 的 站 着 的 不过 是 几十个 本村 和 邻村 的 闲汉 。
I believe this is true, because at that time there were not many people in the audience. The villagers, in order to work tomorrow, could not stay up late and had already gone to sleep. Only a few dozen idlers from the village and neighboring villages were standing sparsely.
乌篷船 里 的 那些 土 财主 的 家眷 固然 在 ， 然而 他们 也 不在乎 看戏 ， 多半 是 专到 戏台 下来 吃 糕饼 水果 和 瓜子 的 。
Of course, the families of those local landlords in the black sailboats were present, but they were not interested in watching the show; most of them came down to the stage just to eat cakes, fruits, and melon seeds.
所以 简直 可以 算 白地 。
so|simply|can|count|for nothing
So it could almost be considered a waste of time.
然而 我 的 意思 却 也 并不 在乎 看 翻筋斗 。
however|I|attributive marker|meaning|but|also|not at all|care about|watch|somersaults
However, my interest was not in watching acrobatics.
我 最 愿意 看 的 是 一个 人 蒙 了 白布 ，两手 在 头上 捧 着 一支 棒 似的 蛇头 的 蛇精 ，其次 是 套 了 黄布衣 跳 老虎 。

What I most wanted to see was a person covered in white cloth, holding a stick resembling a snake's head with both hands above his head, and next was a performer in a yellow robe jumping like a tiger.
但是 等 了 许多 时 都 不见 ，小旦 虽然 进去 了 ，立刻 又 出来 了 一个 很 老 的小生 。
but|wait|past tense marker|many|time|all|not see|young actress|although|go in|emphasis marker|immediately|again|come out|past tense marker|one|very|old|young male actor
But after waiting for a long time, Xiao Dan went in but immediately came out with an old young man.
我 有些 疲倦 了 ，托 桂生 买 豆浆 去 。
I|a bit|tired|emphasis marker|ask|Gui Sheng|buy|soy milk|to go
I was a bit tired, so I asked Gui Sheng to buy some soy milk.
他 去 了 一刻 ，回来 说 ，“没有 。

He went for a moment and came back saying, 'There isn't any.'
卖 豆浆 的 聋子 也 回去 了 。

The deaf man selling soy milk has also gone back.
日里 倒 有 ，我 还 喝 了 两碗 呢 。

There was some during the day, and I even drank two bowls.
现在 去 舀 一瓢 水 来 给 你 喝 罢 。
now|go|scoop|one ladle|water|come|give|you|drink|emphasis marker
Now go scoop a ladle of water for you to drink.
” 我 不 喝水 ， 支撑 着 仍然 看 ， 也 说不出 见 了 些 什么 ， 只 觉得 戏子 的 脸 都 渐渐 的 有些 稀奇 了 ， 那 五官 渐 不 明显 ， 似乎 融成 一片 的 再 没有 什么 高低 。
"I don't drink water, I still support myself and watch, but I can't say what I've seen, I just feel that the faces of the actors are gradually becoming a bit strange, their features are becoming less distinct, as if they have merged into one without any highs or lows.
年纪 小 的 几个 多 打 呵欠 了 ，大 的 也 各 管 自己 谈话 。
age|small|attributive marker|several|many|yawn|yawn|past tense marker|big|attributive marker|also|each|manage|oneself|talk
The younger ones are yawning more, and the older ones are each talking among themselves.
忽而 一个 红衫 的 小丑 被 绑 在 台柱子 上 ，给 一个 花白 胡子 的 用 马鞭 打 起来 了 ，大家 才 又 振作 精神 的 笑 着 看 。

Suddenly, a clown in a red shirt is tied to the stage pillar and is being whipped by a man with a white beard, and everyone perks up and laughs as they watch.
在 这 一 夜里 ，我 以为 这 实在 要 算 是 最好 的 一 折 。
at|this|one|night|I|thought|this|really|to|count|is|best|attributive marker|one|deal
On this night, I thought this really must be the best act.
然而 老旦 终于 出台 了 。
however|old woman role|finally|appear|emphasis marker
However, the old dan finally made an appearance.
老旦 本来 是 我 所 最 怕 的 东西 ，尤其 是 怕 他 坐下 了 唱 。
old dan|originally|is|I|most|most|fear|attributive marker|thing|especially|is|fear|he|sit down|past tense marker|sing
The old dan was something I feared the most, especially the fear of him sitting down to sing.
这时候 ， 看见 大家 也 都 很 扫兴 ， 才 知道 他们 的 意见 是 和 我 一致 的 。
At that moment, seeing that everyone else was also very disappointed, I realized that their opinions were in agreement with mine.
那 老旦 当初 还 只是 踱来 踱去 的 唱 ，后来 竟 在 中间 的 一把 交椅 上 坐下 了 。
that|old dan|at first|still|only|pace back|and forth|attributive marker|sing|later|unexpectedly|at|in the middle|attributive marker|one|armchair|on|sat down|past tense marker
At first, the old dan was just pacing back and forth while singing, but later he actually sat down on a chair in the middle.
我 很 担心 ； 双喜 他们 却 就 破口 喃喃 的 骂 。
I|very|worried|Shuangxi|they|but|just|curse|murmuring|attributive marker|scold
I was very worried; however, Shuangxi and the others just started cursing under their breath.
我 忍耐 的 等 着 ，许多 工夫 ，只见 那 老旦 将 手 一 抬 ，我 以为 就 要 站 起来 了 ，不料 他 却 又 慢慢 的 放下 在 原 地方 ，仍旧 唱 。
I|endure|attributive marker|wait|ongoing action marker|many|time|only see|that|old performer|will|hand|one|lift|I|thought|just|about to|stand|up|past tense marker|unexpectedly|he|but|again|slowly|attributive marker|put down|at|original|place|still|sing
I endured waiting for a long time, only to see the old performer raise his hand. I thought he was about to stand up, but unexpectedly, he slowly lowered it back to its original place and continued singing.
全船 里 几个 人 不住 的 吁气 ，其余 的 也 打起 哈欠 来 。
the whole ship|inside|several|people|continuously|attributive marker|sighs|the rest|attributive marker|also|start to|yawns|emphasis marker
Several people on the boat kept sighing, while the others started yawning.
双喜 终于 熬不住 了 ，说道 ，怕 他 会 唱 到 天明 还 不 完 ，还是 我们 走 的 好 罢 。
double happiness|finally|can't stand it anymore|emphasis marker|said|afraid|he|will|sing|until|dawn|still|not|finish|or|we|leave|attributive marker|better|stop
Finally, Shuangxi couldn't hold on any longer and said, 'I'm afraid he will sing until dawn and still not finish, it's better if we leave now.'
大家 立刻 都 赞成 ，和 开船 时候 一样 踊跃 ，三四 人 径 奔 船尾 ，拔 了 篙 ，点退 几丈 ，回转 船头 ，驾起 橹 ，骂 着 老旦 ，又 向 那 松柏林 前进 了 。
everyone|immediately|all|agree|and|set sail|time|the same|enthusiastically|three or four|people|directly|rush|stern|pull out|past tense marker|pole|push back|several zhang|turn around|bow|raise|oars|scold|ongoing action marker|old man|again|towards|that|pine and cypress forest|advance|emphasis marker
Everyone immediately agreed, just as enthusiastic as when we set sail. Three or four people rushed to the stern, pulled the oars, backed up a few lengths, turned the bow of the boat, rowed forward, cursing the old performer, and headed towards the pine and cypress forest.
月 还 没有 落 ，仿佛 看戏 也 并 不 很 久 似的 ，而 一 离 赵庄 ，月光 又 显得 格外 的 皎洁 。
moon|still|not yet|set|as if|watching a play|also|really|not|very|long|like|and|once|from|Zhao village|moonlight|again|seem|especially|attributive marker|bright
The moon had not yet set, and it seemed that watching the play hadn't taken very long. As soon as we left Zhao Village, the moonlight appeared particularly bright.
回望 戏台 在 灯火 光中 ， 却 又 如初 来 未 到时候 一般 ， 又 漂渺 得 像 一座 仙山楼阁 ， 满 被 红霞 罩 着 了 。
Looking back at the stage in the light of the lanterns, it feels as if it has just arrived and is not yet time, appearing as ethereal as a fairy mountain pavilion, completely shrouded in red clouds.
吹 到 耳边 来 的 又 是 横笛 ，很 悠扬 ；我 疑心 老旦 已经 进去 了 ，但 也 不好意思 说 再 回去 看 。
blow|to|ear side|come|attributive marker|again|is|flute|very|melodious|I|suspect|old woman|already|go in|emphasis marker|but|also|feel embarrassed|say|again|go back|look
What comes to my ears is the sound of the transverse flute, very melodious; I suspect the old actress has already gone in, but I also feel embarrassed to say to go back and take a look.
不 多久 ，松柏林 早 在 船后 了 ，船行 也 并不 慢 ，但 周围 的 黑暗 只是 浓 ，可知 已经 到 了 深夜 。

Before long, the pine and cypress forest was already behind the boat; the boat was not moving slowly, but the surrounding darkness was only thick, indicating that it was already deep into the night.
他们 一面 议论 着 戏子 ， 或 骂 ， 或 笑 ， 一面 加紧 的 摇船 。
They were discussing the actors, either cursing or laughing, while intensifying the rowing of the boat.
这 一次 船头 的 激 水声 更 其 响亮 了 ，那 航船 ，就 像 一条 大 白鱼 背着 一群 孩子 在 浪花 里 蹿 ，连夜 渔 的 几个 老 渔父 ，也 停 了 艇子 看着 喝采 起来 。

This time, the sound of the rushing water at the bow of the boat was even louder; the vessel seemed like a big white fish carrying a group of children leaping in the waves, and several old fishermen who had been fishing all night also stopped their boats to watch and cheer.
离 平桥 村 还有 一 里 模样 ，船 行 却 慢 了 ，摇船 的 都 说 很 疲乏 ，因为 太 用力 ，而且 许久 没有 东西 吃 。

There is about a mile left to Pingqiao Village, but the boat is moving slowly. The rowers say they are very tired because they have been exerting too much effort and haven't eaten anything for a long time.
这 回想 出来 的 是 桂生 ，说 是 罗汉豆 ⑺ 正旺 相 ，柴火 又 现成 ，我们 可以 偷 一点 来 煮 吃 。

What comes to mind this time is Guisheng, who says that the Luo Han beans are in full bloom, and there is firewood available, so we can steal a little to cook and eat.
大家 都 赞成 ，立刻 近岸 停 了 船 ；岸上 的 田里 ，乌油油 的 都 是 结实 的 罗汉豆 。
everyone|all|agree|immediately|near shore|stop|past tense marker|boat|on the shore|attributive marker|in the fields|dark and oily|attributive marker|all|are|sturdy|attributive marker|cowpeas
Everyone agrees, and they immediately stop the boat near the shore; on the shore, the fields are dark and full of sturdy Luo Han beans.
“阿阿 ，阿发 ，这边 是 你家 的 ，这边 是 老 六 一家 的 ，我们 偷 那 一边 的 呢 ？

”双喜 先 跳 下去 了 ，在 岸上 说 。
double happiness|first|jump|down|emphasis marker|on|shore|said
"Shuangxi jumped down first and said on the shore.
我们 也 都 跳 上岸 。

We all jumped ashore.
阿发 一面 跳 ，一面 说道 ，“且慢 ，让 我 来 看 一看 罢 ，”他 于是 往 来 的 摸 了 一回 ，直 起身 来 说道 ，“偷 我们 的 罢 ，我们 的 大得多 呢 。

Afa jumped while saying, "Wait a moment, let me take a look," and then he felt around for a while, stood up and said, "Steal from us, ours is much bigger."
”一声 答应 ，大家 便 散开 在 阿 发家 的 豆 田 里 ，各 摘 了 一大 捧 ，抛 入 船舱 中 。

With a response, everyone scattered into Afa's bean field, each picking a large handful and throwing it into the cabin.
双喜 以为 再 多 偷 ，倘 给 阿发 的 娘 知道 是 要 哭骂 的 ，于是 各人 便 到 六一 公公 的 田里 又 各 偷 了 一大 捧 。

Shuangxi thought that if they stole more, Afa's mother would surely scold them, so everyone went to Liu Yi's field and stole another large handful.
我们 中间 几个 年长 的 仍然 慢慢 的 摇 着 船 ，几个 到 后舱 去 生火 ，年幼 的 和 我 都 剥 豆 。

Among us, a few older ones continued to gently rock the boat, a few went to the back cabin to start a fire, while the younger ones and I shelled the beans.
不久 豆 熟 了 ，便 任凭 航船 浮 在 水面 上 ，都 围起来 用 手 撮着 吃 。

Soon the beans were ripe, and they let the boat float on the water, gathering around to eat them by hand.
吃 完 豆 ，又 开 船 ，一面 洗 器具 ，豆荚 豆壳 全 抛 在 河水 里 ，什么 痕迹 也 没有 了 。

After finishing the beans, they set sail again, washing the utensils while throwing the pods and shells into the river, leaving no trace behind.
双喜 所虑 的 是 用 了 八 公公 船上 的 盐 和 柴 ，这 老头子 很 细心 ，一定 要 知道 ，会 骂 的 。

What Shuangxi was worried about was that they used the salt and firewood from Old Man Ba's boat; this old man is very meticulous and will definitely want to know, and he will scold us.
然而 大家 议论 之后 ，归结 是 不怕 。
however|everyone|discuss|after|conclude|is|not afraid
However, after everyone discussed it, they concluded that they were not afraid.
他 如果 骂 ，我们 便 要 他 归还 去年 在 岸边 拾 去 的 一枝 枯桕树 ，而且 当面 叫 他 “八癞子 ”。

If he scolds us, we will demand that he return the withered tree branch he picked up on the shore last year, and we will call him 'Old Ba' to his face.
“都 回来 了 ！

"They are all back!"
那里 会 错 。

There must be a mistake.
我 原 说 过 写 包票 的 ！

”双喜 在 船头 上 忽而 大声 的 说 。
Shuangxi|at|bow of the boat|on|suddenly|loudly|attributive marker|said
" Shuangxi said loudly at the bow of the boat.
我 向 船头 一望 ，前面 已经 是 平桥 。
I|towards|bow of the ship|take a glance|ahead|already|is|flat bridge
I looked towards the bow, and ahead was already a flat bridge.
桥脚 上 站 着 一个 人 ，却是 我 的 母亲 ，双喜 便是 对 伊 说 着 话 。

At the foot of the bridge stood a person, and it was my mother, who was talking to Yi.
我 走出 前舱 去 ，船 也 就 进 了 平桥 了 ，停 了 船 ，我们 纷纷 都 上岸 。

I walked out of the front cabin, and the boat had entered the flat bridge, stopped the boat, and we all got off.
母亲 颇 有些 生气 ，说 是 过 了 三 更 了 ，怎么 回来 得 这样 迟 ，但 也 就 高兴 了 ，笑着 邀 大家 去 吃 炒米 。

My mother was somewhat angry, saying it was already past three, how could I come back so late, but she was also happy, smiling and inviting everyone to eat fried rice.
大家 都 说 已经 吃 了 点心 ，又 渴 睡 ，不如 及早 睡 的 好 ，各自 回去 了 。

Everyone said they had already eaten snacks, and since they were thirsty and sleepy, it would be better to go to bed early, so they each went back.
第二天 ，我 向 午 才 起来 ，并 没有 听到 什么 关系 八 公公 盐 柴 事件 的 纠葛 ，下午 仍然 去 钓虾 。
the second day|I|towards|noon|only|get up|and|did not|hear|anything|relationship|eight|grandfather|salt|firewood|incident|attributive marker|entanglement|afternoon|still|go|shrimp fishing
The next day, I got up around noon and didn't hear anything about the entanglement of the Eight Uncle's salt and firewood incident, and in the afternoon, I still went to catch shrimp.
“双喜 ，你们 这班 小鬼 ，昨天 偷 了 我 的 豆 了 罢 ？

"Double Happiness, you little rascals, did you steal my beans yesterday?"

"And you didn't pick them properly, you ruined quite a few."
”我 抬头 看 时 ，是 六一 公公 棹 着 小船 ，卖 了 豆 回来 了 ，船 肚里 还有 剩下 的 一堆 豆 。

"When I looked up, it was Grandpa Liu Yi rowing a small boat, having come back from selling beans, and there was still a pile of leftover beans in the boat's belly."
“是 的 。

”双喜 说 。

六一 公公 看见 我 ，便 停 了 楫 ，笑 道 ，“请客 ？

Old Man Liu Yi saw me, stopped rowing, and laughed, "Are you treating us?"
——这 是 应该 的 。

— This is what should be done.
”于是 对 我 说 ，“迅 哥儿 ，昨天 的 戏 可 好 么 ？
so|to|me|said|Xun|brother|yesterday|attributive marker|play|can|good|question marker
"Then he said to me, 'Xun Ge'er, how was the play yesterday?"

"'Can Dou be eaten?"
”我 又 点 一 点头 ，说道 ，“很 好 。
I|again|nod|one|head|said|very|good
"I nodded again and said, 'Very good.'
”不料 六一 公公 竟 非常 感激 起来 ，将 大拇指 一翘 ，得意 的 说道 ，“这 真是 大市镇 里 出来 的 读过 书 的人才 识货 ！

"Unexpectedly, Liu Yi Gonggong became very grateful, raised his thumb, and proudly said, 'This is truly a talented person who has studied and knows the goods from Dashi Town!"
我 的 豆种 是 粒粒 挑选 过 的 ，乡下人 不识 好歹 ，还 说 我 的 豆 比不上 别人的 呢 。

My beans are carefully selected, but the country folks don't know what's good and still say my beans are not as good as others.
我 今天 也 要 送些 给 我们 的 姑奶奶 尝尝 去 ……”他 于是 打着 楫子 过去 了 。

Today, I also want to send some to our aunt for her to taste..." So he rowed over.
待 到 母亲 叫 我 回去 吃晚饭 的 时候 ， 桌上 便 有 一 大碗 煮熟 了 的 罗汉豆 ， 就是 六一 公公 送给 母亲 和 我 吃 的 。
When my mother called me back for dinner, there was a big bowl of cooked Luo Han beans on the table, which was sent by Grandpa Liu Yi for my mother and me to eat.
听说 他 还 对 母亲 极 口 夸奖 我 ，说 “小小 年纪 便 有 见识 ，将来 一定 要 中 状元 。

I heard he also praised me highly to my mother, saying, "At such a young age, you already have insight; you will definitely become a top scholar in the future.
姑奶奶 ，你 的 福气 是 可以 写 包票 的 了 。

”但 我 吃 了 豆 ，却 并 没有 昨夜 的 豆 那么 好 。

"But I ate the beans, yet they were not as good as the beans from last night."},{
