我家的后面有一个很大的园,相传叫作百草园。
Behind our house lay a great garden, called the Hundred-Plant Garden.
不必说碧绿的菜畦,光滑的石井栏,高大的皂荚树,紫红的桑葚;也不必说鸣蝉在树叶里长吟,肥胖的黄蜂伏在菜花上,轻捷的叫天子忽然从草间直窜向云霄里去了。
Not to mention the green vegetable beds, the smooth stone well-rail, the tall soapberry tree, purple mulberries; the cicadas' long singing, fat wasps on the flowers, larks shooting to the sky.
单是周围的短短的泥墙根一带,就有无限趣味。
Just the low mud wall at the edge held endless delight.

Mama Chang told of the beautiful snake that calls your name at night — if you answer, it eats you. I feared my shadow after that.
