于连双颊绯红，两眼低垂，他是个十八、九岁的瘦小青年，看起来羸弱，面部的轮廓也不大周正，但颇清秀，还有一个鹰勾鼻子。一双大而黑的眼睛，静时显露出沉思和热情。此刻却闪烁着最凶恶的憎恨的表情。深褐色的头发长得很低，盖住了大半个额头，发怒的时候凶相毕露，人的相貌无数，然而更具惊人的特性者怕是没有了。他的身材修长而匀称，更多地显示出轻捷而非力量。自幼年起，他那极端沉思的神情和极为苍白的脸色，就使他的父亲以为他活不长，或者将成为家庭的负担，家里人都看不起他，他也恨父亲和两个哥哥；礼拜天在广场上玩耍，他总是挨打。

那年那月 时光的指针倒退地指向了1976年，那是个黑暗的一年。 唐山大地震，伟人的离去，对每个人的心灵都沉重的打击。然而这种沉重的气氛依旧没有离去的意思，而且也把这种氛围带到了一个山城。 阜新，东北某个小城镇，10月份，那里的天气已经进入深秋天许久了，那天月昏星暗，黑黢黢的，到处看不到一点亮光，路旁的树叶子在黑暗中发出“沙沙”的响声。不道哪里来的猫头鹰在个黑暗的角落里叫唤着，听起来真有些令人毛骨悚然。 空气也忽然变得森凉。黑色的乌云象跑马一样的翻滚着。惊雷就象从脚底下打过来，一道道闪电，就象要把天劈开一样。亿万道电光在云端疾走，交锋，搏斗，激起一片震天动地的雷声，仿佛要把这座山城炸开。一场暴雨随时等候着雷公的派遣。 在一瞬间，雨犹如瓢泼一样从天而降，雨由小到大，整个山城在暴雨的密网里挣扎地摇摆着，好象要不几年的污垢洗掉的。在汇成的水流的大路上激起了泡沫和水花，狂风又把水花吹成了尘雾，巨大的雨气象个大罩子一样把城镇彻底盖严。 罗家大院，当地一个大家族，此时正处于悲伤中。 罗积仁，一个老实本分的庄稼汉，五十多岁了，个子不高的，身体逐渐衰退了，长年的风吹日晒，使他的脸色呈献古铜色，眼睛也过早地失去了年轻热那样的光彩，业已模糊了。 经过早年的闯关东，在这个普通的城镇中找到了自己的一份天地，后来结婚了，又有了四个孩子，但后来他发现那时的城里的钱也不好赚，他就远走他乡了，只是每年过年的时候，把钱带回来，给全家人补给的。 可能是性格原因，他从不对外人说他究竟是做什么的，和他外出的乡亲也没有看到他干什么的，但从他家的青砖小瓦房，过年的吃的虽不是大鱼大肉的，但荤素的搭配也都可以看出，这个农村来的庄稼汉是个赚钱高手。罗老汉的品行和他的名字一样，对别人都很仁慈的。经常救济那些困难的人们。他的口碑很好的，因此大伙说起他来无不挑大拇指的。 “老天却喜欢捉弄本分人”。由于积劳成疾，1976年的这一年，他彻底病倒了，基本不能起床了。除了老大以外，其他的三个儿女和老婆轮流地伺候着他，但医疗那时不发达，只能把他生还的希望留给下个世界。 临终前，罗老汉将老婆丁婉叫到身旁，叮嘱她一切。叫孩子们都先出去了。随后罗老汉说完了最后一句话，离开这个人世，阳光和雨露陪伴了他整整五十五年。但都在最后一散而去了。 全家都在哭泣，四个孩子哭声交织在一起，欲与雷声试比高的。老天也在陪他们哭泣着。 在外人看来，罗老汉的离去给罗家蒙上了一层神秘的色彩，关于他的种种传说众说纷纭。而罗老汉的临终之言只有丁氏知道，但她却将老头的嘱托深埋心底了，儿女们问什么，她都说，过去了不想再回忆了，也许老太太想将秘密带到棺材里去了，除此之外无人再知晓了。Guidelines on which year regression to the time at the 1976, that is a dark one.

That month in that yearThe time returned and the finger pointed to 1976, which is a gloomy year. Earthquake in Tangshan and giant passed away, which made a great shock for everyone. However, this kind of atmosphere haven’t left yet, but also came to a mountain city.Fuxin is a little town in North-East province. In Oct, the weather became cooler and autumn arrived for a while. That is a dark night with caliginous moon and stars; a “sha sha” sound was from leaves in the tree at the both side of road. Owl cried out, it sounded terrified. The atmosphere became increasingly charnel, dark clouds rolled over as horse race. Thunder seemed to pass by my feet and the lightning seemed to split the sky. Hundreds of millions lightings moved fast across the clouds, fought and struggled, which arose the huge thunder and seemed to blast this mountain city. A storming was waiting for the god thunder’s dispatch.At this minute, downpour felled from the sky and was increasingly heavy. The whole mountain city struggled and shook in the thick rain-net, the rain would like to wash up the city’s dirtiness of these years. The stream on the road was arose to bubbles and sprays, and then winds blew the sprays to fog, the rain gas liked a big mantle covering the city.A big family lived in Family Luo yard, they was sad now.Mr. Luojiren, an honest peasant.

Finally, He left this city because he found that it was hardly to gain in it at that time. Every Chinese New Year, He took enough money back for his family.He didn’t say anything to stranger maybe because of his personality; his villagers didn’t find what he did. However, He lived in a big house with blue bricks and little tile, what he ate were meats or vegetables, so you could find that he was an expert for earning money. Farmer Luo’s conduct, kindness was just like his name. He would like to relief people who needed to help and had a good public praise, so people always praise him.However, the god always would like to have honest person on, In 1976 he has fallen ill and lay on the bed only due to working hard.

Jane Eyre-Chapter 02 I RESISTED all the way: a new thing for me, and a circumstance which greatly strengthened the bad opinion Bessie and Miss Abbot were disposed to entertain of me. The fact is, I was a trifle beside myself; or rather out of myself, as the French would say: I was conscious that a moment’s mutiny had already rendered me liable to strange penalties, and, like any other rebel slave, I felt resolved, in my desperation, to go all lengths.’Hold her arms, Miss Abbot: she’s like a mad cat.’

您这小说的开头以前我倒是看过，也没见有下文啊那年那月 The Year It All Happened时光的指针倒退地指向了1976年，那是个黑暗的一年。 It could be dated back to 1976, a year of darkness.唐山大地震，伟人的离去，对每个人的心灵都是沉重的打击。然而这种沉重的气氛依旧没有离去的意思，而且也把这种氛围带到了一个山城。Everyone suffered from a series of heavy blows---from Tangshan Earthquake to the decease of great ones. A solemn and still mood spread among people with as little disturbance or change of mien. There was no exceptance for Fuxin, a small town surrounded by hills.阜新，东北某个小城镇，10月份，那里的天气已经进入深秋天许久了，那天月昏星暗，黑黢黢的，到处看不到一点亮光，路旁的树叶子在黑暗中发出“沙沙”的响声。不道哪里来的猫头鹰在个黑暗的角落里叫唤着，听起来真有些令人毛骨悚然。 The tiny town of Fuxin, a typical small city in Northeast China, lay amidst all the darkness of an October night. Late autumn arrived there even earlier. The sky was dense with cloud, not a diffused light from some fragment of a moon could be seen. Rustling of leaves carried on the air all around the road and an owl, from somewhere in darkness, let out creepy screams.空气也忽然变得森凉。黑色的乌云象跑马一样的翻滚着。惊雷就象从脚底下打过来，一道道闪电，就象要把天劈开一样。亿万道电光在云端疾走，交锋，搏斗，激起一片震天动地的雷声，仿佛要把这座山城炸开。一场暴雨随时等候着雷公的派遣。 All of a sudden chilly air spilled over the horizon. Dark cloud was rolling madly across the sky, then a sound of thunder seemed to come from beneath. The whole sky was cleaved by thunderbolts wrestling and roaring through the cloud edges. And the mountain town, almost split apart by the wrath of His Mightiness, awaited the storm that might come in no time.在一瞬间，雨犹如瓢泼一样从天而降，雨由小到大，整个山城在暴雨的密网里挣扎地摇摆着，好象要把几年的污垢洗掉的。在汇成水流的大路上激起了泡沫和水花，狂风又把水花吹成了尘雾，巨大的雨气象个大罩子一样把城镇彻底盖严。 The storm came at a moment, not so powerful at the beginning but soon becomes a torrent. It pounded against the town in such a steady wash that all the dirt and filth that sullied the town for years seemed to be cleaned away. The road became a bubbling and splashing stream. Flung capriciously by a rising gust, the storm cloaked the town tightly like an enormous and foggy garment.罗家大院，当地一个大家族，此时正处于悲伤中。 Luo family's compound, the dwelling place of one of the largest local clan, was now in great sorrow.罗积仁，一个老实本分的庄稼汉，五十多岁了，个子不高的，身体逐渐衰退了，长年的风吹日晒，使他的脸色呈献古铜色，眼睛也过早地失去了年轻人那样的光彩，业已模糊了。 A simple-minded peasant of medium size, Luo Jiren was already in his fifties. His health was declining and his face bronzed by the sun. He got cloudy eyes earlier than his peers, indicating he was no longer young.经过早年的闯关东，在这个普通的城镇中找到了自己的一份天地，后来结婚了，又有了四个孩子，但后来他发现那时的城里的钱也不好赚，他就远走他乡了，只是每年过年的时候，把钱带回来，给全家人补给的。 He was among the settlers heading for Manchuria when he was young. Later he found his right place in this plain-looking town, got married and had four children. Then, knowing he could not make himself a successful breadwinner in the town, he turned to other places, and returned only at each turn of years, contributing the revenue to maintain his family's living.可能是性格原因，他从不对外人说他究竟是做什么的，和他外出的乡亲也没有看到他干什么的，但从他家的青砖小瓦房，过年的吃的虽不是大鱼大肉的，但荤素的搭配也都可以看出，这个农村来的庄稼汉是个赚钱高手。罗老汉的品行和他的名字一样，对别人都很仁慈的。经常救济那些困难的人们。他的口碑很好的，因此大伙说起他来无不挑大拇指的。 Luo had never mentioned about his occupation, nor could his fellow villagers feature it out. This might be explained from his nature. But this clodhopper surely knew well how to make money. His family lived in a tile-roofed house built of blue bricks. Though by no means a feast of fat things, His dinner on New Year‘s Eve never lacked of meat dishes. Luo's behavior was also true to his name. He was kind to people, ready to lend a hand to those in trouble, and enjoyed a good reputition among his neighborhood.“老天却喜欢捉弄本分人”。由于积劳成疾，1976年的这一年，他彻底病倒了，基本不能起床了。除了老大以外，其他的三个儿女和老婆轮流地伺候着他，但医疗那时不发达，只能把他生还的希望留给下个世界。 As the saying goes "Only the Good die young", Luo burnt himself out completely in 1976. When he was ill in bed, his wife and three children, except for his eldest son, looked after him in turn. However for the very limited medical services he could receive then, what he could do was just planning for his next-life.临终前，罗老汉将老婆丁婉叫到身旁，叮嘱她一切。叫孩子们都先出去了。随后罗老汉说完了最后一句话，离开这个人世，阳光和雨露陪伴了他整整五十五年。但都在最后一散而去了。 Before he breathed his last, Luo spoke of his arrangement to Ding Wan, his wife. Then he told his children to go out and uttered his last words. He bid farewell forever to the grace of God, at the age of 55.全家都在哭泣，四个孩子哭声交织在一起，欲与雷声试比高的。老天也在陪他们哭泣着。 The whole family was crying. The thunder echoed with his four children, as if God was willing to join them.在外人看来，罗老汉的离去给罗家蒙上了一层神秘的色彩，关于他的种种传说众说纷纭。而罗老汉的临终之言只有丁氏知道，但她却将老头的嘱托深埋心底了，儿女们问什么，她都说，过去了不想再回忆了，也许老太太想将秘密带到棺材里去了，除此之外无人再知晓了。 For outsiders, Luo family had been rendered a mystical one for his last words. Rumors of all versions arose. Ding Wan, as the only one who knew the truth, decided to keep it as a secret. She told her children that she had no desire to recall the past whatever they asked about. The secret might remain an engima upon her death, since no one else knew about it.
