In that field , adele , i was walking late one evening about a fortnight since - the evening of the day you helped me to make hay in the orchard meadows ; and as i was tired with raking swaths , i sat down to rest me on a stile ; and there i took out a little book and a pencil , and began to write about a misfortune that befell me long ago , and a wish i had for happy days to come : i was writing away very fast , though daylight was fading from the leaf , when something came up the path and stopped two yards off me 我耙着干草，不觉累了，便在一个草堆上躺下来休息一会。当时我取出一本小书和一枝铅笔，开始写起很久以前落到我头上的不幸，和对未来幸福日子的向往。我写得很快，但阳光从树叶上渐渐隐去，这时一个东西顺着小径走来，在离我两码远的地方停了下来。
