THE BIG RAIN
大雨
"Oh, little Ting Fang, it’s cold today!" said a Chinese mother as she stood in the door of her poor little house and shivered.
“哦，小方廷，今天很冷!”一位中国母亲站在破旧小房子门口颤抖着说道。
Her son, Ting Fang, stood beside her and looked out into the narrow path between his house and the other houses in Ricksha Man Alley.
她的儿子方廷站在身边，目光打在了黄包车人胡同里一条狭窄小路，两边是自家房子和其他房子。
"It has rained for two whole days," he said, "and such terrible rain it is!
雨下了整整两天，”他说，“雨下得真大！
Just like long silver needles to prick us." Ting Fang shivered, too, and tucked his hands up in his sleeves to keep them warm.
