Walking on a tranquil country road , with the rain falling , sometimes heavily and sometimes gently , i felt an inner bliss that was beyond words . it was truly a fabulous experience 雨时急时缓时落时停，那时我内心的喜悦不可言表，走在庄稼地中宁静的小路上，那种感觉的确棒极了！
This i saw no remedy for , but by making an enclosure about it with a hedge , which i did with a great deal of toil ; and the more , because it requir d speed 除了做个篱笆把庄稼地围起来，我想不出其他办法。我花了大量艰苦的劳动，才把篱笆筑好。尤其吃力的是，我必须很快把篱笆建成。
For that one blistering summer , the ground moisture was just right , planting early allowed pollination before heat withered the tops , and the lack of rain spared the standing corn from floods 就那年炎热的夏天，庄稼地的湿度恰到好处，过早的种植使授粉避开酷热在顶梢干枯前完成，雨水稀少使地里长着的玉米免遭水灾。
She led me into the cropland where i saw rows of green plants extending to the distant horizon . i had never seen such a wide open field and the green color filled in my eyes before . sister urged me to pull up weeds 妹妹带我到了庄稼地里，我看到了一眼望不到头的绿色，我从来没有到过这么开阔的地方，我从来没有看到过这满眼的绿色。
When it was growing and grown , i have observ d already , how many things i wanted , to fence it , secure it , mow or reap it , cure and carry it home , thrash , part it from the chaff , and save it 在庄稼成长和成熟的时候，我前面也已谈到，还有许多事要做。我要给庄稼地打上篱笆，又要保护庄稼不受鸟害。然后是收割晒干运回家打谷簸去秕糠，而后把谷物收藏起来。
In the first place , i went among it to see what damage was already done , and found they had spoil d a good deal of it , but that as it was yet too green for them , the loss was not so great , but that the remainder was like to be a good crop if it could be sav d 我先走进庄稼地看看损失的情况，发现那些飞禽已糟蹋了不少庄稼，但大麦和稻子还都在发青期，所以损失还不大。假如我能把其余部分保住，还可能有一个不错的收成。
Near this dwelling of mine , but a little farther within the land , and upon lower ground , lay my two pieces of corn - ground , which i kept duly cultivated and sow d , and which duly yielded me their harvest in its season ; and whenever i had occasion for more corn , i had more land adjoyning as fit as that 靠近住所，往岛内走几步，在一片地势较低的地方，有两块庄稼地。我按时耕种，按时收获。如果我需要更多的粮食，毗邻还有不少同样相宜的土地可以扩大。
But as the beasts ruined me before , while my corn was in the blade ; so the birds were as likely to ruin me now , when it was in the ear ; for going along by the place to see how it throve , i saw my little crop surrounded with fowls of i know not how many sorts , who stood as it were watching till i should be gone : i immediately let fly among them for i always had my gun with me i had no sooner shot , but there rose up a little cloud of fowls , which i had not seen at all , from among the corn it self 在庄稼长出禾苗时，遭到了兽害而现在庄稼结穗时，又遇到了鸟害。一天，我到田里去看看庄稼的生长情况，却发现无数的飞禽围住了我那块小小的庄稼地，飞禽种类之多，简直数不胜数。它们围着庄稼地，仿佛等我走开后就可飞进去饱餐一顿。
However , as my arable land was but small , suited to my crop , i got it totally well fenc d , in about three weeks time ; and shooting some of the creatures in the day time , i set my dog to guard it in the night , tying him up to a stake at the gate , where he would stand and bark all night long ; so in a little time the enemies forsook the place , and the corn grew very strong , and well , and began to ripen apace 好在我种子不多，因而耕种面积也不大，所以不到三星期我就把庄稼地围起来了。白天，我打死只野物晚上，我把狗拴在大门外的一根柱子上，让狗整夜吠叫，看守庄稼地。不久，那些敌人就舍弃了这块地方，庄稼长得又茁壮又好，并很快成熟起来。
The new era began ; the king was tried , doomed , and beheaded ; the republic of liberty , equality , fraternity , or death , declared for victory or death against the world in arms ; the black flag waved night and day from the great towers of notre dame ; three hundred thousand men , summoned to rise against the tyrants of the earth , rose from all the varying soils of france , as if the dragon s teeth had been sown broadcast , and had yielded fruit equally on hill and plain , on rock , in gravel , and alluvial mud , under the bright sky of the south and under the clouds of the north , in fell and forest , in the vineyards and the olive - grounds and among the cropped grass and the stubble of the corn , along the fruitful banks of the broad rivers , and in the sand of the sea - shore 三十万人的大军为抗击全世界的暴君响应号召从法兰西各地猛然崛起，仿佛田野上遍撒了，结满了果实：从山上也从平原上从岩石上，也从碎石上和冲积土壤上在南方明朗的天空之下，也在北方积云的天空之下从丘陵里，也从森林里从葡萄园，也从橄榄地在剪过的草地上，也在气过的庄稼地上沿着广阔的河流的结着果实的河岸，也沿着海岸的沙滩，到处都结出了的果实。
