大姑娘

His own children had grown up, and married, and four times he had seen before him on the tracks the ghastly dot of tragedy converging like a cannon ball to its eclipse of horror at the boiler head—a light spring wagon filled with children, with its clustered row of small stunned faces; a cheap automobile stalled up the tracks, set with the wooden figures of people paralyzed with fear; a battered hobo walking by the rail, too deaf and old to hear the whistle's warning; and a form flung pas his window with a scream—all this he had seen and known.

当初她有一个小孩缠着她的裙子，现在这孩子已长成大姑娘，也每天和她母亲一起出来挥手致意。司机多年操劳，已经白发苍苍，渐渐变老了。他驾驶长长的列车栽着旅客横贯大地已上万次。他自己的子女都已长大了，结婚了。他曾4万次在他面前的铁轨上看到了可怕的悲剧所凝聚的小点，象颗炮弹似的射向火车头前的恐怖的阴影－－－1辆满载小孩子的轻便马车和密密一排惊惶失措的小脸，一辆廉价汽车停在铁轨上，里面坐着吓得目瞪口呆状若木鸡的人们，一个带着惊呼的人影掠过他的窗口－－－所有这些，司机都历历在目，记忆犹新。

But, to the little ones at least, this was denied: each hearth in the schoolroom was immediately surrounded by a double row of great girls, and behind them the younger children crouched in groups, wrapping their starved arms in their pinafores.

但至少对年幼学生来说，并没有这福份。教室里的每个壁炉立刻被两排大姑娘围住，小一点的孩子只好成群蹲在她们身后，用围涎裹着冻僵了的胳膊。

In many parts of China, paper-cutting skill has become a must for women, old and young, and the symbol of a clever mind and nimble fingers for Chinese ladies as a whole.

在中国的许多地方，剪纸已成为大姑娘和小媳妇必备的女红技艺，成为衡量妇女心灵手巧的一种标志。

起初我只晓得布鲁克雷德丝是美国少男少女崇拜的偶像，后来回台湾，甚至去年在北京，居然也四处看见她的海报，才惊讶她的魅力之大。
