The fire was on before the temple.
庙前的集会正在进行。
It had rained from the early morning and the day came to its end.
从一早起就下雨，这一天快过尽了。
Brighter than all the gladness of the crowd was the bright smile of a girl who bought for a farthing a whistle of palm leaf.
比一切群众的欢乐还光辉的，是一个花一文钱买到一个棕叶哨子的小女孩的光辉的微笑。
The shrill joy of that whistle floated above all laughter and noise.
哨子的尖脆欢乐的声音，在一切笑语喧哗之上飘浮。
An endless throng of people came and jostled together. The road was muddy， the river in flood， the field under water in ceaseless rain.
无尽的人流挤在一起，路上泥泞，河水在涨，雨在不停地下着，田地都没在水里。
Greater than all the troubles of the crowd was a little boy's trouble——he had not a farthing to buy a painted stick.
比一切群众的烦恼更深的，是一个小男孩的烦恼——他连买那根带颜色的小棍的一文钱都没有。
His wistful eyes gazing at the shop made this whole meeting of men so pitiful.
他苦闷的眼睛望着那间小店，使得这整个人类的集会变成可悲悯的。
