水滴似的

Yang Ming-Dien's engravings works were good at breaking the limits of visual communication to make engravings into the glass and then burning the glass into fluid and jelly shapes. Under the liquid-like glass, irregular land occupied a corner, some showing leaves dipped in the rain drops. The surroundings art blurred with clear leaves' vein. Even pulps were shaped like hard rocks. Maps were printed with yellow falling sands.

杨明迭的版画作品擅长於突破视觉平面的囿限，将版画嵌至玻璃中并烧融成各种介於流动与凝滞间样态造型，在液状似的玻璃底下，是鸟瞰似的不规则的地景占据一角，有些像是地志般的疏落有致并有平行经纬线跨越其上，或是水滴下被浸泡已久的树叶，四周模糊只有茎脉依稀辨，甚至将纸浆形塑成如岩石般质感，将地图印制其上而四周则是飞落金黄色风沙。

In one corner was a stagnant pool of water, surrounding an islandof muck; there were several half-drowned fowls crowded together under a cart,among which was a miserable, crest-fallen cock, drenched out of all life andspirit; his drooping tail matted, as it were, into a single feather, alongwhich the water trickled from his back; near the cart was a half-dozing cow,chewing her cud, and standing patiently to be rained on, with wreaths of vaporrising from her reeking hide; a wall-eyed horse, tired of the loneliness of thestable, was poking his spectral head out of a window, with the rain dripping onit from the eaves; an unhappy cur, chained to a dog-house hard by, utteredsomething every now and then between a bark and a yelp; a drab of a kitchenwench tramped backwards and forwards through the yard in patterns, looking assulky as the weather itself; everything, in short, was comfortless and forlorn,excepting a crew of hardened ducks, assembled like boon companions round apuddle and making a riotous noise over their liquor.

在院子的一角，一潭污水围着孤岛似的粪堆；几只几乎被雨水淋透的鸡簇拥在一辆马车底下，其中一只可怜的公鸡，倒垂着鸡冠，被淋得没精打彩，毫无生气；它那聋拉着的尾巴粘结在一起，仿佛只成了一根羽毛，雨水顺着它从背脊往下直淌；离马车不远处，有一头睡眼惺松的奶牛，嘴里喂着反刍的食物，默默地站在那里，任凭雨水打在身上，湿淋淋的背上冒出缭绕的水气；一匹眼珠小而眼白特大的马厌倦了马厩里的寂寞，把它那幽灵似的脑袋从窗口探了出来，屋檐上的雨水滴沥滴沥地落在它头上；一只不幸的杂种狗被链条拴在近旁的狗窝里，时时发出似吠似嗥的声音；一个邋遢厨娘拖着木屐，迈着沉重的步于在院子里进进出出，她那郁郁不乐的神色，就像阴沉的天气一样；总之，除了一群饱经风雨的鸭子，像饮酒作乐的朋友那样聚集在污水潭的四周戏水而外，这儿的一切都令人感到凄凉和沮丧。

在院子的一角，一潭污水围着孤岛似的粪堆；几只几乎被雨水淋透的鸡簇拥在一辆马车底下，其中一只可怜的公鸡，倒垂着鸡冠，被淋得没精打采，毫无生气；它那耷拉着的尾巴粘结在一起，仿佛只成了一根羽毛，雨水顺着它从背脊往下直淌；离马车不远处，有一头睡眼惺忪的奶牛，嘴里嚼着反刍的食物，默默地站在那里，任凭雨水打在身上，湿淋淋的背上冒出缭绕的水气；一匹眼珠小而眼白特大的马厌倦了马厩里的寂寞，把它那幽灵似的脑袋从窗口探了出来，屋檐上的雨水滴沥滴沥地落在它头上；一只不幸的杂种狗被链条拴在近旁的狗窝里，时时发出似吠似嗥的声音；一个邋遢厨娘拖着木屐，迈着沉重的步子在院子里进进出出，她那郁郁不乐的神色，就象阴沉的天气一样；总之，除了一群饱经风雨的鸭子，象饮酒作乐的朋友那样聚集在污水潭的四周呷呷嬉水而外，这儿的一切都令人感到凄凉和沮丧。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
