我在草地上走着，忽然，在鲜嫩的春草上看到一只雪白的蝴蝶。
In North China, however, the weather was agreeable but chilly.
蝴蝶给雨水打落在地面上。
There was now a heart-warming spring wind, now a refreshing cold rain.
沾湿的翅膀轻微地簐簌颤动着，张不开 来。
Asi was walking On a meadow, I suddenly saw a snow-white butterfly lying on the tender green grass.
它奄奄一息，即将逝去。
It had been struck down by rain and was now unable to open out its tremulous wet wings.
但它白得像一片小雪花，轻柔纤细，楚 楚动人，多么可怜呀！
It was on the point of dying.
它从哪儿来？
Soft and slender and white like a snowflake, it looked so lovely and SO pitiable.
要飞向哪儿去？
Where was it from?
我痴痴望着它"。
And where was it flying to?
忽然像有一滴圣 洁的水滴落在灵魂深处，我的心灵给一道白闪闪的柔软而又强烈的光 照亮了。
I stared at it blankly, feeling like a drop of holy water had suddenly fallen into the depth of my a soul and a ray of dazzling light, white and soft, had lit up my heart.
我弯下身，小心翼翼地把白蝴蝶捏起来，放在手心里。
I bent down to gingerly pick it up with my fingers and placed it in the palm of my hand.
这已经冷僵了的小生灵发蔫了，它的细细的脚动弹了一下，就歪 倒在我的手中。
The little creature, stiff with cold, looked shriveled up and, twitching its thin legs slightly, fell on its side in my palm.
我用口呵着气，送给它一丝温暖，蝴蝶渐渐甦醒过来。
As I breathed on it to warm it up a bit, it came to gradually.
它是给刚 才那强暴的风雨吓惜了吧？
It might have been scared stiff and out of its senses by the violent storm of a moment ago.
不过，它确实太纤细了，你看，那白茸茸 的像透明的薄纱的翅膀@，两根黑色的须向前伸展着，两点黑漆似的 眼睛，几只像丝一样细的脚。
It was very slim.
可是，这纤细的小生灵，它飞翔出来是 为了寻免什么呢？
Its gossamer-like wings were white, downy and transparent.
在这阴晴不定的天气里，它表现出寻求者何等非凡 的勇气。
Its two black feelers were stretched ahead.
它活过来了，我竟感到无限的喜悦。
Its two eyes were pitch-black.
这时，风过去了，雨也过去了。
Its legs were thin like thread.
太阳用明亮的光辉照满宇宙，照 满人间，一切都那样晶莹，那样明媚，树叶由嫩绿变成深绿了，草地 上开满小米粒那样黄的小花朵。
What had led the feeble little creature to venture out on the wing.
我把蝴蝶放在盛满阳光的一片嫩叶 上。
What unusual courage it had displayed in battling against the treacherous weather as a seeker! 9 Its regained consciousness had brought me immeasurable joy.
我向草地上漫步而去了。
By now, the wind and rain had both left off.
但我的灵魂里在呐喊开始像很遥 远、很遥远，我还以为天空中又来了风、来了雨，后来我才知道 就在我的心灵深处：你为什么把一个生灵弃置不顾？
The whole universe was basking in brilliant sunlight.
于是我折转 身又走回去，又走到那株古老婆娑的大树那儿。
Everything was bright and beautiful.
谁知那只白蝴蝶缓绥 地、绥绶地在树叶上蝺动呢！
The leaves had turned from light green to dark green.
