祖父和灯火管制Grandpa and Nightly Blackout 冰心 Bing Xin 第一段 ①一九一一年秋，我们从山东烟台回到福州老家去。②在还乡的路上，母亲和父亲一再嘱咐我，“㈠回到福州住在大家庭里，不能再像野孩子似的，一切都要小心。㈡对长辈们不能没大没小的。祖父是一家之主，尤其要尊敬……” ①In the autumn of 1911, we returned from Yantai of Shandong Province to our native place Fuzhou. ②While on the way, my parents warned me again and again, “㈠Since we’ll be living in a big family in Fuzhou, remember always to behave properly and never act like a naughty child. ㈡Show respect for your elders, particularly your grandpa, who is head of the family…” 第二段 ①到了福州，在大家庭里住了下来，我觉得我在归途中的担心是多余的。②祖父、伯父母、叔父母和堂姐妹兄弟，都没有把我当作野孩子，大家也都很亲昵平等，并没有什么“规矩”。③我还觉得我们这个大家庭是几个小家庭的很松散的组合。④每个小家庭都是各住各个的，各吃各的，各自有自己的亲戚朋友，比如说，我们就各自有自己的“外婆家”！ ①After settling down in the big family in Fuzhou, however, I found that my previous worries on the way turned out to be unfounded. ②My grandpa, uncles, aunties and cousins never thought me a naughty child. ③We treated each other lovingly and equally. ④There never existed anything like “family rules of good behaviour”. ⑤I also found that the big family was a loose community of several smaller ones, which lived and ate separately. ⑥They each had their own relatives and friends, for example, their own in-laws. 第三段 ①就在这一年，也许是第二年吧，福州有了电灯公司。②我们这所大房子里也安上了电灯，这在福州也是一件新鲜事，我们这班孩子跟着安装的工人们满房子跑，非常地兴奋欢喜！③我记得这电灯是从房顶上吊下来的，每间屋子都有一盏，厅堂上和客室里的五十支光，卧房里的光小一些，厨房里的就更小了。④我们这所大房子里至少也五六十盏灯，第一夜亮起来时，真是灯火辉煌，我们孩子们都拍手欢呼！ ①That year, or the year after, Fuzhou began to have its own power company and electric lights were to be installed in our big house too. ②That was something new in our home town. ③We kids, wild with excitement and joy, ran here and there in the house at the heels of the electricians. ④Each room, I remember, had an electric lamp hanging from the ceiling. ⑤The drawing room had a 50-watt bulb; the bedrooms each a lower-wattage one; the kitchens each an even-lower-wattage one. ⑥The whole big house at least had a total of some 60 electric lamps. ⑦The first evening when they were turn on, the whole house wa
