寒夜

My friend fails to mention the long and friendless winter evenings which are interrupted only by an occasional visit to the local cinema —— virtually the only form of entertainment.

我的朋友没提到那漫长而寂寞的隆冬寒夜，而打破这寒夜寂寞的只有偶尔去当地电影院看看电影——实际上此乃唯一的娱乐形式。

And the quarrelling gales rage in an icy bleak night.

这冰雪遍地的寒夜里只有狂风在喧嚷。

I stayed alone during the endless winter night.

寒夜漫长，独对孤灯。

The heat, the dust, and cold wintry nights.

加上身处酷热 、 尘土 、 及如冬寒夜中。

You cannot eat love, nor buy a horse, nor worm your halls on a cold night.

爱不能吃， 也不能用来买马匹， 更不能在寒夜中温暖你家大厅。
