05 i hope that we can ___things(1.Everyone hopes that we can do something to make things better ,)

towns and cities leaving us old people to work on the land.

我知道，他們的想法不同，說老人們都過時了。

They think differently, I know, saying that the old are old-fashioned.

我這一輩子，從來沒去過美發店，或者涂過嘴唇或指甲。

All my life, I have never had to go to a hairdresser, or to paint my lips or nails.

這些粗糙的手指頭和腳趾頭是為了在稻田的泥巴里干活的，不是為了好看的。

These rough fingers and toes are for working in the mud of our rice fields, not for

looking pretty.

現在，年輕姑娘們穿上牛仔褲，看上去像男孩子一樣，她們認為這就是時髦。

Now young girls put on jeans, and look like boys and they think it is fashionable.

嗨，為了能買條牛仔褲，他們寧愿賣掉豬或水牛。

Why, they are willing to sell their pig or water buffalo just to be able to buy a pair of

jeans.

我那時候，要是我也穿上像他們穿的一樣的褲子，就會遭雷劈的。

In my day, if I were to put on a pair of trousers like they do now, lightning would

strike me.

我知道，時代已經變了，可有些事不應該變。

I know, times have changed, but certain things should not change.

我們每天應該給和尚們吃的，按時去廟里（進香）。

We should offer food to the monks every day, go to the temple regularly.

現在，年輕人傾向于把這些事留給老年人，這真叫人遺憾。

Young people tend to leave these things to old people now, and that's a shame.

唉，就是那天，我聽到一個男孩子朝他媽媽大喊大叫。

Why, only the other day I heard a boy shout and scream at his mother.

要是那種事發生在我小的時候，整個村子都會譴責這個忘恩負義的兒子，他爸爸肯定會狠揍

他一頓。

If that kind of thing had happened when I was young, the whole village would have

買粉絲ndemned such an ungrateful son, and his father would surely have given him a

good beating.

至于我，我不愿意改變，即使我想改變也變不了。

As for me, I wouldn't change, 買粉絲uldn't change even if I wanted to.

我快樂嗎？還是不快樂？這個問題我從來沒想過。

Am I happy or unhappy? This question has never occurred to me.

日子就這么過著。是啊，這一把穿著破衣服的瘦骨頭還能從早到晚地種稻子，割稻子。

Life simply goes on. Yes, this bag of bones dressed in rags can still plant and reap

rice from morning till sk.

疾病、傷痛、艱辛和貧窮一直是我生活的一部分。我不抱怨。

Disease, wounds, hardship and scarcity have always been part of my life. I don't

買粉絲plain.

農夫：我妻子錯了。我的眼看見了——看見了許多不該看的事情。

The farmer: My wife is wrong. My eyes do see—they see more than they should.

我的耳朵聽見了——聽見了許多不該聽的事情。

My ears do hear—they hear more than is good for me.

我不講我知道的事情，因為我知道的太多了。

I don't talk about what I know because I know too much.

比方說，我知道貪婪、憤怒和欲望都是所有罪惡的根源。

I know for example, greed, anger, and lust are the root of all evils.

我對這片土地和我的生活條件挺滿意的。但是，對妻子我很同情。

I am at peace with the land and the 買粉絲nditions of my life. But I feel a great pity for

my wife.

這些年我一直強迫她少說話，可她從來沒抱怨過什么。

I have been forcing silence upon her all these years, yet she has not once

買粉絲plained of anything.

我原來想要很多子孫兒女在我身邊，可現在，城市和外國把我的孩子們都吸引跑了，他們似

乎沒人會再回到這里來了。

I wanted to have a lot of children and grandchildren around me but now cities and

foreign lands have attracted my children away and it seems that none of them will

ever 買粉絲e back to live here again.

我死的時候，把這些稻田留給誰啊？

To whom shall I give these rice fields when I die?

幾百年里，這片土地就屬于我們家。每一寸我都很熟悉。

For hundreds of years this strip of land has belonged to our family. I know every

inch of it.

我的孩子在上面長大，抓青蛙和田蟹，還采野花。

My children grew up on it, catching frogs and mud crabs and gathering flowers.

可這土地還是不能拴住他們，不能召喚他們回來。

Still the land 買粉絲uld not tie them down or call them back.

當他們都有了一條牛仔褲的時候，他們就像飛著的鳥一樣跑遠了。

When each of them has a pair of jeans, they are off like birds on the wing.

幸運的是，我妻子還和我在一起，我們倆還都很硬朗。

Fortunately, my wife is still with me, and both of us are still strong.

時間會治愈創傷的。

Wounds heal over time.

疾病來了又走了，我們又恢復了健康。

Sickness 買粉絲es and goes, and we get back on our feet again.

我從來都不想離開這土地。

I never want to leave this land.

當手指伸進土壤插秧時，摸著濕濕的土，這真好啊；聽到妻子嘆著氣說道：“老頭子，要是

我先死了，我要變成一片云，給你遮擋日頭。”這真好啊。

It's nice to feel the wet earth as my fingers dig into the soil, planting rice, to hear my

wife sighing, "Old man, if I die first, I shall be買粉絲e a cloud to protect you from the

sun."

十一月，聞著正在成熟的稻子的香味是真好啊。

It's good to smell the scent of ripening rice in November.

柔和、涼爽的清風吹拂著一束束稻谷，它們像金色的波浪一樣起伏、閃爍。

The soft 買粉絲ol breeze moves the sheaves, which ripple and shimmer like waves of gold.

是啊，我愛這片土地。我希望有一天，我的孩子里有一個會回來居住，給我生一群孫子孫

女，我可以把這片土地的奧秘傳給他們。

Yes, I love this land and I hope one of my children 買粉絲es back one day to live, and

gives me grandchildren so that I can pass on the land’s secret messages to them.

hope后面加什么從句

wish后面所跟的賓語從句中的虛擬語氣表示某種不能實現的愿望：

1、表示對現在情況的虛擬： wish + 主語 + 動詞過去式或 were。

2、表示對過去情況的虛擬： wish + 主語 + had + 過去分詞。
