I LOVED the sandy bank where, in the lonely pools, ducks clamoured and turtles basked in the sun; where, with evening, stray fishing-boats took shelter in the shadow by the tall grass.

我爱这铺满沙砾的河岸，鸭群在寂静的水塘里呷呷嬉戏，乌龟在阳光下晒暖；夜幕四垂时，漂泊的渔船停泊在高高的水草丛里。

By midday its shadow has deepened and you can sit there protected from the sun, never feeling lonely, with the tree as your companion.

到中午，树影变深，你可以坐在树下遮阳，树是你的伙伴，你永远不会感觉孤独。

Night is a huge black whirlpool. Like the shadow of lamp, on the clear surface of memories, in the gyrating movement, That's my lonely and sad soul.

夜是一个巨大的黑色旋涡那像灯影一样在记忆的粼粼水面上旋转着的是我的凄清的魂魄。
