0403翻译：鸟的天堂（巴金）Translation: Birds’ Paradise (Ba Jin)(translated by: alexcwlin; edited by: Adam Lam)我们吃过晚饭，热气已经退了。After we finished supper, hot weather had already cooled down.太阳落下了山坡，只留下一段灿烂的红霞在天边。The sun had set behind the mountain and left behind a dazzling red glow at the edge of the sky.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------我们走过一条石子路，很快就到了河边。We walked along a stone-paved footpath and were quickly approachinga riverside.在河边大树下，我们发现了几只小船。Beside a big tree by the river we found a few small boats.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------我们陆续跳上一只船。We jumped onto a boat one by one.一个朋友解开了绳，拿起竹竿一拨，A friend untied a rope and used a bamboo pole to push off.船缓缓地动了，向河中心移去。The boat moved slowly towards the center of the river.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------河面很宽，白茫茫的水上没有一点波浪。The river was wide, and no trace of wave could be found on the whitish surface.船平静地在水面移动。The boat moved quietly.三支桨有规律地在水里划，那声音就像一支乐曲。Three paddles rowing in a set rhythm produced sounds much like a music tune.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------在一个地方，河面变窄了。At a certain spot the river turned narrow.一簇簇树叶伸到水面上。树叶真绿得可爱。Clustered of leaves dangled over water surface and those leaves were adorably green.那是许多藏盛的榕树，看不见主干在什么地方。There were many banyan trees hiding behind their own flourishing growths and their trunks were not visible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------当我说许多株榕树的时候，朋友们马上纠正我的错误。When I said there were many banyan trees, my friends jumped at correcting my error.一个朋友说那只有一株榕树，另一个朋友说是两株。One friend said there was only one tree, and another one said there were two of them.我见过不少榕树，这样大的还是第一次看见。I had seen many banyan trees,butseeingone of such gigantic size was a first for me.-----------------------------------------------------
