青布

著着很厚的青布单衣或夹袄的都市闲人，咬着烟管，在雨后的斜桥影里，上桥头树底下去一立，遇见熟人，便会用了缓慢悠闲的声调，微叹着互答着说：

Some idle townsfolk , wearing lined or unlined clothing made of thick cloth , will come out pipe in mouth and , loitering under a tree by the end of a bridge , exchange leisurely conversation with acquaintances with a slight touch of regret at the passing of time : " Oh , real nice and cool — "

那说话人五十来岁年纪，一件青布长袍早洗得褪成了蓝灰色。

The speaker was in his50s.He was in a blue long gown which was faded to pale .

我看见他戴着黑布小帽，穿着黑布大马褂，深青布棉袍，蹒跚地走到铁道边，慢慢探身下去，尚不大难。

I saw him wearing a big black coat and deep green cotton clothing , staggering to the railroad .

我看见他戴着黑布小帽。穿着黑布大马褂，深青布棉袍，蹒跚在走到铁道边，慢慢探身下去，尚不大难。

I watched him hobble towards the railway track in his black skullcap , black cloth mandarin jacket and dark blue cotton-padded cloth long gown .

40位水手，身着青布上衣、士林蓝裤子，腰系银饰花带，手握五尺木桨，整齐划一，甚是威武。

The oarsmen , 40 in all , wield 5-foot-long wooden oars . These powerful-looking men wear horsetail-shaped hats , blue jacketsand trousers , and embroidered waistbands pinned with silver ornaments .

我读到此处，在晶莹的泪光中，又看见那肥胖的，青布马褂的背影。

Perhaps it won 't be long now before I depart this life . Through the glistening tears which these words had brought to my eyes I again saw the back of father 's corpulent form in the dark blue cotton-padded cloth long gown and the black cloth mandarin jacket .
