The English Source Text：
This is the frost coming out of the ground;this is spring.It precedes the green and flowery spring, as mythology precedes regular poetry.I know of nothing more purgative of winter fumes and indigestions.It convinces me that Earth is still in her swaddling clothes, and stretches forth baby fingers on every side.Fresh curls spring from the baldest brow.There is nothing inorganic.These foliaceous heaps lie along the bank like the slag of a furnace, showing that Nature is “in full blast” within.The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit,----not a fossil earth, but a living earth;compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.Its throes will heave our exuviae from their graves.You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds you can;they will never excite me like the forms which this molten earth flows out into.And not only it, but the institutions upon it are plastic like clay in the hands of the potter.Ere long, not only on these banks, but on every hill and plain and in every hollow, the frost comes out of the ground like a dormant quadruped from its burrow, and seeks the sea with music, or migrates to other climes in clouds.Thaw with his gentle persuasion is more powerful than Thor with his hammer.The one melts, the other but breaks in pieces.The Chinese Target Text：
1万物都是有生命的。2不仅是它，地球上的制度也是可塑的，和陶工手中的泥土一样。3一切动植物的生命，就像寄生虫一样依附在这个伟大的中心上。4温柔的解冻之神，比挥动铁锤的雷神托尔更有力量。5霜冻爬出大地就是春天。6我不知道，还 有什么可以清除掉冬天的雾霭。7这些叶状物堆在堤岸两旁，就像熔炉的炉渣，说明自然之火正在“熊熊燃烧”。8它使我坚信，大地还是一个婴儿，手指向四周伸展，光秃秃的额头上长出了新的卷发，9它的阵痛把我们的残骸从坟墓中抛出。10大地并非是逝去的历史中的一个片段，它就像一页页书叠在一起，等待地质学家和考古学家去研究，11它总是先于芳草生长，鲜花盛开的春天还没有来临时，它就表现了出来，正如神话先于有规则的诗歌出现一样。12你可以融化金属，做出各种美丽的图案，但是不能像这熔化的地球形成的形态更令我激动。13它是充满生机的诗歌，如同树叶，先于花朵和果实----这并非一个化石的地球，而是一个生机盎然的地球，14一个是融化，一个是打碎。15不多久，不仅在湖岸上，每座小山、每片平原、每个洼地，霜冻就像冬眠的野兽一样从地里爬出来，寻找着音乐之海，或者迁徙到云中别的地方去，B．汉译英
The Chinese Source Text： 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！尤其可爱的是夜间。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，船在荷塘中缓缓前进，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。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。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。人事的变迁，更何待说呢！
The English Target Text： The rain beating on the awning gave off a pleasant sound, as if with musical rhythm and cadence.2 It was truly fascinating.3 One spring, together with two companions, I rowed a small boat to a townlet ten li away to see a village opera.4 The wet open country was fresh and serene.5 I would go upstairs to take a distant look.6 The villages were now visible, now invisible.7 And the rainy evening was even more lovely.8 The boat made its way slowly and our faces were hardly distinguishable by the dim light of the lantern.9 My companions began to sing, to the accompaniment of the drip-drop, the local folk song In a Boat by a Bridge on a Rainy Night.10 I’ll never forget the days when I enjoyed the spring rain in my native place as a small child.11 At midnight, after the performance was over, we got caught in a rain on the way home.12 The faraway mountains were veiled in a misty rain.13 Rustles were heard as the boat rubbed its body against the newly grown green grass by the river bank.14 O even the sound of rain has changed, to say nothing of the affairs of human life!15 In recent years, living, as I do, in a big city remote from my old home, I invariably feel homesick listening to the harsh, monotonous drip, drip, drip of the rain.
