翻译：风筝 (鲁迅)对比(a) Kite (translation: alexcwlin/edit: adam.L)(b) The?Kite (杨宪益、戴乃迭 译)(c) Kite (刘士聪译) 北京的冬季，地上还有积雪，灰黑色的秃树枝丫叉于晴朗的天空中，而远处有一二风筝浮动，在我是一种惊异和悲哀。(a) It is wintertime in Beijing. The ground is covered with thick snow. Leafless tree-branches in greyish-black color reach into the clear sunny sky. A couple of kites floating high in the air at distance saddle me with a feeling of bewilderment and melancholy.(b) A?Peking?winter?dismays?and?depresses?me:?the?thick?snow?on?the?ground?and?the?bare?trees ashen?branches?thrusting?up?towards?the?clear?blue?sky,?while?in?the?distance?one?or?two?skies?arefloating.?(c) When，in late winter in Beijing，there was still snow on the ground and, up in the air，an entanglement of dark-gray bare branches against a sunny sky，a couple of kites were already fluttering up and down in the distance - a sight that filled me with amazement and forlornness.***************************************************故乡的风筝时节，是春二月，倘听到沙沙的风轮声，仰头便能看见一个淡墨色的蟹风筝或嫩蓝色的蜈蚣风筝。(a) The kite-flying season of my hometown is around February in springtime.
