早春二月 (Original Title)

1926年,青年知识分子肖涧秋应老同学陶慕侃之邀,来到浙东小镇中学任教,在前往赴教的轮船上他遇到了丈夫死于广州起义的文嫂,顿生同情之心。在陶慕侃为其举行的欢迎家宴上,他认识了陶的妹妹,活泼大方的陶岚,交谈中方知在轮船上遇到的孤儿寡母竟是老同学李志浩的家小,出于正义和同情,肖涧秋经常资助造访文嫂家,这引起了周围人议论。

我看天气的变化是自然的现象,至于人间的灾难嘛...哎灾难是年年不免。
I think the change of weather is a natural phenomenon, but as for the disasters on earth...Well there are every year.

主意到了高妙的时候还有什么用处呢?所以我没有。
What good are ideas even if they are great? So I didn't.

如果一个青年人没有信仰的话,那就失掉了青年的意义了。
If a young person does not have faith, then the meaning of youth is lost.

我不知道自己会怎么样,我很奇怪没有什么人管我,可我总把自己关在房间,外面的世界什么样子我一点也不知道,我恐怕是飞不出去了。
I don't know what's going to happen to me, I'm surprised that no one cares about me, but I always lock myself in my room, I don't have any idea what the outside world is like, I'm afraid I won't be able to fly out.

我不是大雁,我只是一只孤雁,我的意思是说,孤雁常常离群。
I'm not a goose, I'm just a lone goose, by which I mean that lone geese often stray from the flock.

何以解忧,唯有杜康。
What is the answer to my worries, only Dukang.

我没想到我没救活他们反而害死了他们,我更没想到有人背后冷言冷语,现在居然为我来举杯喝彩了,来我谢谢你的好意,小人之心小人之口。
I didn't think I'd get them killed instead of saving them, and I didn't expect anyone to speak coldly behind my back and now actually come and raise a glass for me, come I thank you for your kindness, little man's heart is small.

我一踏进芙蓉镇就像掉进了是非的漩涡,我几乎在这里溺死。文嫂的自杀王福生的退学,像两根铁棒猛击了我的头脑,使我晕眩也使我清醒,从此终止了我的徘徊,找到了一条该走的道路,我将投身到时代的洪流中去。
As soon as I stepped into Furong Town, it was like falling into a whirlpool of right and wrong, where I almost drowned. Sister Wen's suicide and Wang Fusheng's withdrawal from school were like two iron bars that struck me hard, dizzying me and sobering me up, ending my wandering and finding a path to follow as I plunged into the torrent of the times.

芙蓉芙蓉二月开
一个教师外乡来
两眼炯炯如饿鹰
内有一副好心裁
左手抱着小寡妇
右手想把芙蓉采
Hibiscus Hibiscus Blooms in February
A teacher from outside the country
With eyes like a hungry hawk
He has a good heart inside
With his left hand he holds the little widow
With his right hand he wants to pick the hibiscus
