白杨树

On a crisp October morning, our local newspaper featured a stunning photo of sun-drenched aspen trees whose leaves had turned autumn gold.

某个清新宜人的十月早晨，我们本地的报纸刊出一张令人惊艳的照片：浸润在阳光中的白杨树，树叶已转成秋天的金色。

It was not a very pretty house to look at; it had something of a tumble-down, weather-beaten appearance, standing as it did upon high ground, sheltered only by four or five bare and overgrown poplars, that had shot up too rapidly for their strength, and had a blighted forlorn look in consequence.

这小旅馆坐落在一个叫做斯坦宁丘的小山上、它看上去不是一幢十分漂亮的房子；倒有一种歪歪斜斜、饱经风霜雨雪的模样儿，因为给它遮荫的只有四五棵光秃秃的、长过了头的白杨树。那些树生长得太快，超过了它们本身的生命力，结果便露出一种枯萎孤寂的模样来了。

The white poplar is no ordinary tree. Let me sing its praises.

白杨实在是不平凡的，我赞美白杨树！

This is the white poplar tree, a very common tree in the northwest of China, but it is by no means an ordinary tree.

这就是白杨树，西北极普通的一种树，然而决不是平凡的树！

When the train enters border of ShaanxiProvince, I begin to look out for car outside the window, in order to see the elegance of the white poplar.

当火车进入陕西省境内时，我就开始留意车窗外了，为的是一睹白杨树的风采。

Yes, in front of a white poplar for lying at the foot of a stone statue ghost's body.

咦，前面一棵白杨树脚下躺着一具石像鬼的尸体。

It is said that a pet dog was buried under a white poplar tree, the near 4 square meters' area was surrounded with fence, and there were flowers around the marble tombstone.

具了解一只宠物狗被安葬在一棵速生白杨树下，近4平方米的土地用篱笆围起，大理石墓碑前还有绢花环绕。

The house was approached by graveled drive-ways which wound about through wide-spreading lawns and under the interlacing boughs of tall poplars.

在相互交错的白杨树枝干下，一条砾石车道穿过大片的草坪，一直通向房前。

There is something indescribable there which exhales grace, a green meadow traversed by tightly stretched lines, from which flutter rags drying in the wind, and an old market-gardener's house, built in the time of Louis XIII., with its great roof oddly pierced with dormer windows, dilapidated palisades, a little water amid poplar-trees, women, voices, laughter; on the horizon the Pantheon, the pole of the Deaf-Mutes, the Val-de-Grace, black, quat, fantastic, amusing, magnificent, and in the background, the severe square crests of the towers of Notre Dame.

那地方散发着一种无以名之的淡远的情趣，一片青草地，上面有几根拉紧的绳索，迎风晾着一些旧衣破布，蔬菜地边有所路易十三时代的古老庄屋，庞大的屋顶上开着光怪陆离的顶楼窗，倾斜破烂的木栅栏，白杨树丛中有个小池塘，几个妇女，笑声，谈话声，朝远处看，能望见先贤祠、盲哑院的树、军医学院，黑黝黝，矮墩墩，怪模怪样，有趣，美不胜收，在更远处，有圣母院钟塔的严峻的方顶。

More mountains; bluish beauties never attainable, or ever turning into inhabited hill after hill; south-eastern ranges, altitudinal failures as alps go; heart and sky-piercing snow-veined gray colossi of stone, relentless peaks appearing from nowhere at a turn of the highway; timbered enormities, with a system of neatly overlapping dark firs, interrupted in places by pale puffs of aspen; pink and lilac formations, Pharaonic, phallic,"too prehistoric for words"; buttes of black lava; early spring mountains with young-elephant lanugo along their spines; end-of-the-summer mountains, all hunched up, their heavy Egyptian limbs folded under folds of tawny moth-eaten plush; oatmeal hills, flecked with green round oaks; a last rufous mountain with a rich rug of lucerne at its foot.

山叠山；淡青色的美景我从未看清楚，一山接一山之后出现了人迹炊烟；东南部，重峦叠障；覆着雪脉的摩天灰色石碑，连绵的尖峰在高速公路的转弯处突然现露出来，幽深的林阵，与整齐的暗黑色枞树完全重叠，又被白杨树柔白的烟雾切断；粉色和淡紫色的组合，是属于法老的，是属于阳器崇拜的，&太是史前的了叫人无话可说&；黑色熔岩山岗；早春的山峦，沿山背到处是幼象的细毛，—夏末的山峦，全都驼着背，它们沉重的埃及式肢体摺叠在黄褐色厚绒布纹里；燕麦片山群，点缀着绿色的圆椽树；最后一座红山，山脚布满一片繁茂的紫花苜蓿。

Neither the killing of Mr Zarqawi nor any breakthrough on the political front will stop the insurgency and the fratricidal murders in their tracks.

In fact,I've got him on the satellite mobile right now.
