在朝着阳光的堤岸上,青草丛中,隐着一个倾 斜的隧道,这里就是有骤雨,即刻也就会干的。这隧 道最多是九寸深,不过一指宽,依着土地的天然状况 或弯曲或成直线。差不多像定例一样,总有一丛草将 这所住屋半掩着,其作用如一间门洞,将进出的孔道 隐于阴影之下。蟋蟀出来吃周围的嫩草时,决不碰及 这一丛草。那微斜的门口,仔细耙扫,收拾得很广 阔;这就是它的平台,当四围的事物都很平静时,蟋 蟀就坐在这里弹它的四弦提琴。 On the embankment facing the sun, there is an inclined tunnel hidden in the grass. There is shower here, and it will dry immediately. The tunnel is at most nine inches deep, but one finger wide, depending on the natural conditions of the land, or curved or in a straight line. Almost like the statute, there is always a clump of grass that will hide the house halfway. It functions like an opening and conceals the entrance and exit holes. When you come out to eat the tender grass around you, you never touch this clump of grass. The slightly sloping doorway, carefully sweeping and sweeping, is a vast platform; this is its platform. When all the things around are calm, 蟋 蟀 sits here to play its four-string violin.
