   • 時候既然是深冬；漸近故鄉時，天氣又陰晦了，冷風吹進船艙中，嗚嗚的響，從篷隙向外一望，蒼黃的天底下，远近橫着幾個蕭索的荒村，沒有一些活氣。 [MSC, trad.]

     From: 1921, 魯迅 (Lu Xun), 故鄉 (My Old Home)

     Shíhou jìrán shì shēn dōng; jiànjìn gùxiāng shí, tiānqì yòu yīnhuì le, lěng fēng chuī jìn chuáncāng zhōng, wūwū de xiǎng, cóng péng xì xiàng wài yīwàng, cānghuáng de tiāndǐ xià, yuǎnjìn héngzhe jǐ ge xiāosuǒ de huāngcūn, méiyǒu yīxiē huóqì. [Pinyin]

     It was the deep winter as I approached my hometown- the weather was dark and gloomy. A cold wind blew into the cabin of the ship, whistling. Looking out from a gap in the awning, desolate ghost towns as far as the eye could see without a hint of life, all beneath a greenish yellow sky.
