草堆

DEAR BOY: Your distresses in your journey from Heidelberg to Schaffhausen, your lying upon straw, your black bread, and your broken 'berline,' are proper seasonings for the greater fatigues and distresses which you must expect in the course of your travels; and, if one had a mind to moralize, one might call them the samples of the accidents, rubs, and difficulties, which every man meets with in his journey through life.

从海德尔堡到沙夫豪森的旅途中你受了不少苦：躺在草堆中，吃黑面包，乘坐快要散架的马车。而所有这些只不过是你更为艰苦的旅程的调味品；并且，一个人若有修身养性之心，一定会把它们视为人生途中种种磨难的样本。

He sucked mountain stream when he felt thirsty,and laid in the hayrick when he was tired.when the loneness came,he sang he folk songs.

渴了，就喝溪水；累了，就躺在草堆里打个盹；寂寞了，就唱唱山歌。

He go back to the old hayrick. He found out the hayrick become so big. He used to keep himself warm from his mother, but now he is all along. He realize how cold the night really is .he stay up all night with loneliness surrounding.

他回到属於母亲与自己的草堆，这草堆变的好大，他一向习惯母亲怀里的温度，现在他了解到原来夜晚这麼冷，寂寞环绕，小羊整晚睡不著。

He raked it into long windrows, then he raked the windrows into big haycocks.

他先把草堆成一条条长长的草坪，然后再把草坪堆成个个大草垛。

Cowbirds are named that way, because they like to follow cows around as they graze, in order to eat the insects that the cows stir up.

Near to the farmhouse stood a large haystack, and between it and the house was a small shed, with a thatched roof.
