泰戈尔－雨天

The rainy day

雨天

Sullen clouds are gathering fast over the black fringe of the forest.

乌云很快地集拢在森林的黝黑的边缘上。

O child, do not go out!

孩子，不要出去呀！

The palm trees in a row by the lake are smiting their heads against the dismal sky; the crows with their draggled wings are silent on the tamarind branches, and the eastern bank of the river is haunted by a deepening gloom.

湖边的一行棕树，向暝暗的天空撞着头；羽看零乱的乌鸦，静悄悄地栖在罗望子的树技上，河的东岸正被乌沉沉的暝色所侵袭。

Our cow is lowingloud, tied at the fence.

牛系在篱上，高声鸣叫。

O child, wait here till I bring her into the stall.

孩子，在这里等，等我先把牛牵进牛棚里。

Men have crowded into the flooded field to catch the fishes as they escape from the overflowing ponds; the rain water is running in rills through the narrow lanes like a laughing boy who has run away from his mother to tease her.

许多人都挤在池水泛溢田间，捉那从泛溢池中逃出来的鱼儿，雨水成了小河，流过狭街，好像一个嬉笑的孩子从他妈妈那里跑开，故事要恼她一样。

Listen, someone is shouting for the boatman at the ford.

听，有人在浅滩上喊船夫。

O child, the daylight is dim, and the crossing at the ferry is closed.

孩子，天色暗了，渡头的摆渡船已经停了。

The sky seems to ride fast upon the madly-rushing rain; the water in the river is loud and impatient; women have hastened home early from the Ganges with their filled pitchers.

天空好像是在滂沱雨中快跑着；河里的水喧叫着；妇人们早已拿着汲满了水的水罐，从恒河畔快快地回家。

The evening lamps must be made ready.

夜里用的灯，一定要预备好。

O child, do not go out!

孩子，不要出去。

The road to the market is desolate, the lane to the river is slippery. The wind is roaring and struggling among the bamboo branches like a wild beast tangled in a net.

到市场去的大道已经没有人走了，到河边去的小路又很滑。 风在竹林里咆哮着，挣扎着，好像一只落在网中的野兽。
