It was well along in the forenoon of a bitter winter’s day. The town of Eastport, in the state of Maine, lay buried under 3 deep snow that was newly fallen. The customary bustle in the streets was wanting. One could look long distances down them and see nothing but a dead white emptiness, with silence to match. Of course I do not mean that you could see the silence, no, you could only hear it. The sidewalks were merely long, deep ditches, with steep snow walls on either side. Here and there you might hear the faint, far scrape of a wooden shovel, and if you were quick enough you might catch a glimpse of a distant black figure stooping and disappearing in one of those ditches, and reappearing the next moment with a motion which you would know meant the heaving out of a shovelful of snow. But you needed to be quick, for that black figure would not linger, but would soon drop that shovel and scud for the house, thrashing itself with its arms to warm them. Yes, it was too venomously cold for snow-shovelers or anybody else to stay out long.
And then the dry years would come, and sometimes there would be only seven or eight inches of rain. 译文:然后干旱的年份就会来了,有时降雨只有七八英寸。
Where I ever got such an idea I cannot say, unless it could be that the morning came over the peaks of the Gabilans and the night drifted back from the ridges of the Santa Lucias. 译文:我说不出这种想法的根子在什么地方,除非是黎明从加比伦山顶升起,夜晚从圣卢西亚斯山脊压下来。
