Sadness of August 八月的憂傷

　　Lin Huiyin林徽因

　　In a yellow pond there are white ducks swimming.黃水塘里游著白鴨，

　　Only a little taller than people, sorghums are still green.高粱梗油青的剛高過(guò)頭，

　　Where should I put, in this pounding heart,這跳動(dòng)的心怎樣安插，

　　A narrow path in the field, this sadness in August.田里一窄條路，八月里這憂愁?

　　Rain washed the sky clean last night, sun shines,天是昨夜雨洗過(guò)的，山崗

　　On hills and leaves some shadows,照著太陽(yáng)又留一片影;

　　Sheep follow the shepherd into the village,羊跟著放羊的轉(zhuǎn)進(jìn)村莊，

　　And shading a well, a big tree looks like a heart.一大棵樹(shù)蔭下罩著井，又像是心!

　　No one ever spoke of August, summer is over ,從沒(méi)有人說(shuō)過(guò)八月什么話，

　　And fall isn't here. I look onto a farmland ,夏天過(guò)去了，也不到秋天。

　　And then at the squashes over the earth wall,但我望著田壟，土墻上的瓜，

　　I just don't understand how life and dream connect.仍不明白生活同夢(mèng)怎樣的連牽。
