9、t period. 篇2：小麻雀 A Little Sparrow 老舍 Lao She 雨后，院里来了个麻雀，刚长全了羽毛。它在院里跳，有时飞一下，不过是由地上飞到花盆沿上，或由花盆上飞下来。看它这么飞了两三次，我看出来：它并不会飞得再高一些。它的左翅的几根长翎拧在一处，有一根特别的长，似乎要脱落下来。我试着往前凑，它跳一跳，可是又停住，看着我，小黑豆眼带出点要亲近我又不完全信任的神气。我想到了：这是个熟鸟，也许是自幼便养在笼中的。所以它不十分怕人。可是它的左翅也许是被养着它的或别个孩子给扯坏，所以它爱人，又不完全信任。想到这个，我忽然的很难过。一个飞禽失去翅膀是多么可怜。这个小鸟离了人恐怕

10、不会活，可是人又那么狠心，伤了它的翎羽。它被人毁坏了，而还想依靠人，多么可怜!它的眼带出进退为难的神情，虽然只是那么个小而不美的小鸟，它的举动与表情可露出极大的委屈与为难。它是要保全它那点生命，而不晓得如何是好。对它自己与人都没有信心，而又愿找到些倚靠。它跳一跳，停一停，看着我，又不敢过来。我想拿几个饭粒诱它前来，又不敢离开，我怕小猫来扑它。可是小猫并没在院里，我很快地跑进厨房，抓来了几个饭粒。及至我回来，小鸟已不见了。我向外院跑去，小猫在影壁前的花盆旁蹲着呢。我忙去驱逐它，它只一扑，把小鸟擒住!被人养惯的小麻雀，连挣扎都不会，尾与爪在猫嘴旁搭拉着，和死去差不多。 As soon as the

11、 rain stopped, a little sparrow, almost full-fledged, flew into the courtyard. Ithopped, fluttered, darting up to the edge of flower pots and back to the ground again.Watching it move up and down a couple of times, I realized drat it could not fly any higher asthe plumes on its left wing had got twi

WhenI made an attempt to move closer, it jumped off a hit and stopped again, staring back at mewith its small, black and bean-like eyes that had a mixed look of wanting to be friends with meand not being certain that I was trustworthy. It occurred

13、to me that this must be a tamebird, having been caged since it was hatched perhaps. No wonder it was not much scared of mypresence. Its left wing might have been impaired by some kid and that was why there wasdistrust in its look though it showed some intimacy with man. Suddenly I was seized withsad

14、ness. How miserable it was for a bird to lose its wings! Without someone taking care of itthis small thing could not survive. But man had injured its wing. How cruel he was! Injured asit was, it still wanted to rely on man. How pitiable! The look in its eyes showed that She littlecreature was of two

15、 minds. It was small and by no means pretty, yet its gestures andexpressions revealed that it had been wronged and landed in a difficult situation. It was anxiousto keep its delicate life out of danger, but it did not know what to do. It had little confidencein itself and less trust in man, but it n

16、eeded someone to rely on. It hopped and stopped,looking at me but too shy to come over. I thought of fetching some cooked rice to attract it,but I dared not leave it alone test it should be attacked by the kitten. As the kitten was notaround at the moment, I hurried to the kitchen and cause back wit

17、h a few grains only to findthe bind missing. I ran to the outer yard and saw the kitten crouching by a flower pot in frontof the screen wall. I hastened to drive her away but, with a quick jump, she caught hold of thebird. The tame sparrow, with its tail and claws dangling from the kittens mouth, di

18、d not evenknow how to struggle. It looked more dead than alive. 瞧着小鸟，猫一头跑进厨房，又一头跑到西屋。我不敢紧追，怕它更咬紧了可又不能不追。虽然看不见小鸟的头部，我还没忘了那个眼神。那个预知生命危险的眼神。那个眼神与我的好心中间隔着一只小白猫。来回跑了几次，我不追了。追上也没用了，我想，小鸟至少已半死了。猫又进了厨房，我愣了一会儿，赶紧的又追了去;那两个黑豆眼仿佛在我心内睁着呢。 With my eyes fixed on the bird, I watched the kitten run first to the kitc

19、hen and then to theram at the west end. I was afraid to press hard after her, but I had to follow her in case sheshould tighten her jaws. Though the birds head was not visible to toe, the look of anticipateddanger in its eyes was vivid in my wind. Between its look and my sympathy stood that smallwhi

20、te cat. Having run a few rounds after her I quit, thinking it was pointless to chase her likethat because, by the time I caught her, the bird would have been half dead. When the catslipped back to the kitchen again, I hesitated for a second and then hurried over there too. Itseemed, in my minds eye,

21、 the little bird were pleading for help with its two black bean-likeeyes. 进了厨房，猫在一条铁筒冬天升火通烟用的，春天拆下来便放在厨房的墙角旁蹲着呢。小鸟已不见了。铁筒的下端未完全扣在地上，开着一个不小的缝儿，小猫用脚往里探。我的希望回来了，小鸟没死。小猫本来才四个来月大，还没捉住过老鼠，或者还不会杀生.只是叼着小鸟玩一玩。正在这么想，小鸟忽然出来了，猫倒像吓了一跳，往后躲了躲。小鸟的样子.我一眼便看清了，登时使我要闭上了眼。小鸟几乎是蹲着，胸离地很近，像人害肚痛蹲在地上那样。它身上并没血。身子可似乎是拳在一块，非常的短

22、。头低着，小嘴指着地。那两个黑眼珠!非常的黑，非常的大，不看什么，就那么顶黑顶大的愣着。它只有那么一点活气，都在眼里，像是等着猫再扑它，它没力量反抗或逃避;又像是等肴猫赦免了它，或是来个救星。生与死都在这俩眼里，而并不是清醒的。它是胡涂了，昏迷了：不然为什么由铁筒中出来呢可是，虽然昏迷，到底有那么一点说不清的，生命根源的，希望。这个希望使它注视着地上，等着，等着生或死。它怕得非常的忠诚气完全把自己交给了一线的希望，一点也不动。像把生命要从两眼中流出，它不叫也不动。 In the kitchen I noticed the cat was crouching by a tin pipe whic

The pipe leanedagainst the corner and, between its lower end and the floor; there was an opening throughwhich the cat was probing with her paws. My hope revived: the bird was not dead. As t

24、hekitten was less than four months old, it had not teamed how to catch mice, or how to kill forthat matter. It was merely holding the bird in its mouth and having fun with it. While I wasthinking along these lines the little bird suddenly emerged and the kitten, taken aback, boltedbackward. Tile way

25、 the little bird looked was so registered to me at the first glance that I feltlike shutting my eyes immediately. It was virtually crouching, with its chest close to the floor,like a man suffering from a stomachache. There was no stain of blood on its body, but itseemed to be shrinking up into itsel

26、f. Its head dropped low, its small beak pointing to the floor.Its two black eyes, unseeing, were very black and large, looking last- The little life left in it was alin the eyes. It seemed to be expecting the cat to charge again, with no strength to resist orrun; or wishing that the cat would be kin

27、d enough to pardon it or that some saviour wouldcome along to its rescue. Life and death coexisted in its eyes. I thought the bin must beconfused or stunned, or else why should it have come out from the pipe Stunned as it was, itstill cherished some hope which, though hard to define, was the source

28、of life. With thathope it gazed at the floor, expecting either to survive or die. I was so really scared that itbecame completely motionless, leaving itself all to the precarious hope. It kept quiet and stillas if waiting for its life to flow out of its eyes. 小猫没再扑它，只试着用小脚碰它。它随着击碰倾侧，头不动，眼不动，还呆呆地注视着地

29、上。但求它能活着，它就决不反抗。可是并非全无勇气，它是在猫的面前不动!我轻轻地过去，把猫抓住。将猫放在门外，小鸟还没动。我双手把它捧起来。它确是没受了多大的伤.虽然胸上落了点毛。它我一眼! The kitten made no more attempts to attack it. She only tried to touch it with her little paws.As the kitten touched it, it tilted from side to side, its head undisturbed and its eyes lookingblank at the f

I went aver light-footed,picked up the cat and put her outside the door, the sparrow remaining where it was. When Itook it up in my hands and loo

31、ked, it was riot seriously injured, though some fluff had come offits chest. It was looking at me. 我没主意：把它放了吧，它准是死;养着它吧，家中没有笼子。我捧着它，好像世上一切生命都在我的掌中似的，我不知怎样好。小鸟不动，拳着身，两眼还那么黑，等着!愣了好久，我把它捧到卧室里，放在桌子上，看着它，它又愣了半夭，忽然头向左右歪了歪用它的黑眼睁了一下;又不动了，可是身子长出来一些，还低头看着，似乎明白了点什么。 I had no idea what to do. If I let it go, it

I held it in my hands as if holding all the lives in the world, not knowing what to do.Me sparrow huddled up, motionless, its eyes as black as ever, still expectant. It remained thatway for a long while. I took it to my bedroom, put it on the desk and watched it for a fewmoments. Suddenly it tilted its head Wit and then right, winking its black eyes once or twice,and became still again. By now its body seemed to have stretched a hit
