1蓟运河从我们村口流过,河这边是河北唐山,河那边是天津宝坻,一排高大的杨树站着,有的还举着一两枚鸟窝。现在架着一座小土桥的地方,几十年前,泊着两只破旧的小船,供来往的人通行。运河的水有些年干涸,有些年泛滥。干涸的时候,河床上种了玉米、大豆。是否能丰收,只是农家人的一场赌注。泛滥的时候,把岸边的老柳树、老杨树都揽在水中央。一群喜鹊站在树尖上往下看,河面上两个人影在撒网。

A thistle canal flows through our village. The river here is Tangshan in Hebei Province. There is the Baodi in Tianjin on the other side of the river. A row of tall poplar trees stands, some carrying one or two bird nests. There is now a small earth bridge where, decades ago, two dilapidated boats were parked for the passage of people. Some years the canal water dried up, some years flooding. Dry, the bed planted corn, soybeans. Whether it can bumper harvest, but a farmhouse a bet. When flooding, the shore of the old willow trees, old poplar all embraced in the water central. A group of magpie standing on the tip of the tree looking down, the two figures in the river in the cast nets.
