0908翻译：故乡 (鲁迅)Translation: Hometown (Lu Xun)(translated by: alexcwlin; edited by: Adam Lam)第一部分：回故乡Part 1: Returning to Hometown----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------我冒了严寒，回到相隔二千余里，别了二十余年的故乡去。　　I braved through freezing cold to travel over two thousand plus miles back to my hometown which I left twenty some odd years ago.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------时候既然是深冬,It was deep into winter at that time.渐近故乡时，天气又阴晦了，When I approached my hometown, the sky turned gloomy.冷风吹进船舱中，呜呜的响，Cold wind blowing into the boat cabin made a swooshing sound.从蓬隙向外一望，苍黄的天底下，远近横着几个萧索的荒村，没有一些活气。Looking out through a gap I saw underneath the yellowish-gray sky were several desolate uninhabited villages at various distances without any sign of life.我的心禁不住悲凉起来了。Overpoweringly my heart sank at these sights. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------阿！这不是我二十年来时时记得的故乡？Oh, this was not the hometown I had always remembered for the last twenty-odd years.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------我所记得的故乡全不如此。The hometown I could remember was completely different from this.我的故乡好得多了。It was a much better hometown then.但要我记起他的美丽，说出他的佳处来，却又没有影像，没有言辞了。But if I had to recall its beauties and describe all its good things, then I had no images or words for them. 仿佛也就如此。Vaguely it was something that resembled this.于是我自己解释说：故乡本也如此，——So I tried to vindicate myself by saying the hometown was always like this.虽然没有进步，也未必有如我所感的悲凉，Even though there was no step-up, yet it wasn’t as melancholy as I felt.这只是我自己心情的改变罢了，因为我这次回乡，本没有什么好心绪。It was only that my frame of mind had changed since I wasn’t in the best of mood on this trip home.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------我这次是专为了别他而来的。In this tr
