住在上海的人们,平 日既感不到雨的需要,一旦下雨,天气是那么阴沉,谁也耐不住闷在 狭小的家里,可是跑到外面,没有山,没有湖,也没有经雨的嫩绿 的叶子,一切都不及晴天好;有时阔人的汽车从你身旁驰过,还得带 一身泥污回来。
During this season, it never rains there but it remains wet for seven or eight days on end.
记得六七年前初来上海读书,校里的功课特别忙,往往自修到午 夜,那年偏又多雨,淅淅沥沥,打窗飘瓦,常常扰乱我看书的情绪。
Dwellers in Shanghai, who usually do not feel the need for rain, will be bored with having to confine themselves in their close quarters when outside it is gloomy with rain.
我虽然不像岂明老人那样额其斋曰:"苦雨",天天坐在里面嘘气, 但也的确有点"深恶而痛绝之"的念头。
While in the open, seeing no mountains, nor lakes, nor rain-drenched soft green leaves, you'll find nothing comparable to a fine day.
可是这种事情只在上海才会有。
Sometimes, worse still, a rich man's car flashing past may splash you all over with mud.
少时留居家乡,当春雨像鹅毛般 落着的时候,登楼眺望,远处的山色被一片烟雨笼住,村落恍惚,若 有若无,雨中的原野新鲜而又幽静,使人不易忘怀!
I remember when I first came to Shanghai to attend school six or seven years ago, I used to be so I very busy with my homework that I often had to sit up late into the night.
尤其可爱的是 夜间。
As it happened to be a rainy year, I was often disturbed by the pitter-patter of rain beating down against the window and roof.
不知哪一年春天,我和两个同伴,摇着小船到十里外一个镇上 看社戏,完场已是午夜,归途遇雨,船在河塘中缓缓前进,灯火暗到 辨不出人面,船身擦着河岸新生的茅;草,发出沙沙的声音。
Indeed, I dislike rain with no less intensity than the elderly gentleman Qi Ming\*, who sits about moaning about the wet weather all day in his study, over the doorway of which hangs a horizontal a board bearing an inscription in his own hand, "Distressing-Rain Study" But that's something which can be experienced in Shanghai only.
雨打乌篷, 悠扬疾徐,如听音乐,如闻节拍,和着同伴们土著的歌谣,"河桥风 雨夜推篷",真够使人神往。
Tll never forget the days when enjoyed the spring rain in my native place as 8 smalll child.
这几年投荒"到都市,每值淫雨,听着滞涩枯燥的调子,回念故 乡景色,觉得连雨声也变了。
T would go upstairs to take a distant look.
人事的交迁,更何待说呢!
The faraway mountains were veiled in a misty rain.
