Sadness of August 八月的忧伤

　　Lin Huiyin林徽因

　　In a yellow pond there are white ducks swimming.黄水塘里游着白鸭，

　　Only a little taller than people, sorghums are still green.高粱梗油青的刚高过头，

　　Where should I put, in this pounding heart,这跳动的心怎样安插，

　　A narrow path in the field, this sadness in August.田里一窄条路，八月里这忧愁?

　　Rain washed the sky clean last night, sun shines,天是昨夜雨洗过的，山岗

　　On hills and leaves some shadows,照着太阳又留一片影;

　　Sheep follow the shepherd into the village,羊跟着放羊的转进村庄，

　　And shading a well, a big tree looks like a heart.一大棵树荫下罩着井，又像是心!

　　No one ever spoke of August, summer is over ,从没有人说过八月什么话，

　　And fall isn't here. I look onto a farmland ,夏天过去了，也不到秋天。

　　And then at the squashes over the earth wall,但我望着田垄，土墙上的瓜，

　　I just don't understand how life and dream connect.仍不明白生活同梦怎样的连牵。
