原文：

A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains, but on the valley side the water is lined with trees- willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter’s flooding; and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs and branches that arch over the pool. On the sandy bank under the trees the leaves lie deep and so crisp that a lizard makes a great skittering if he runs among them. Rabbits come out of the brush to sit on the sand in the evening, and the damp flats are covered with the night tracks of ’coons, and with the spread pads of dogs from the ranches, and with the split-wedge tracks of deer that come to drink in the dark.
　　
　　
　　 There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water. In front of the low horizontal limb of a giant sycamore there is an ash pile made by many fires; the limb is worn smooth by men who have sat on it.

　　索勒代德以南几英里外，萨利纳斯河顺着山边的河岸流下来，河水碧绿，深不见底。河水很温暖，因为它淌过一片黄沙地，在太阳下闪闪发光，较后才到达狭窄的池塘。在河的一边金色的山脚斜坡起伏而上，直到岩石耸立，高大巍峨的加比兰山脉，但在山谷的一边，沿岸是一排树木，有每年春天都郁郁葱葱的柳树，在低处叶子结合处还残留着冬天河水泛滥带来的小块残骸，还有悬铃树，它那斑驳的, 白色的, 横卧的大小树枝弯曲着伸到池塘上方在岸边沙地上，树叶在树底下积得很厚，质地发脆，蜥蜴从上面爬过，就会发出很响的声音。傍晚的时候，兔子从灌木林中跑出来，坐在沙地上，潮湿的平地上上满是夜行的浣熊的痕迹，从牧场那里跑来的狗的铺开的肉掌印，还有夜里跑来喝水的鹿的开衩楔形的痕迹。昆明嘉立外语培训
　
　　悬铃树之间，有一条小路穿过柳树，牧场来的小孩子从这条路上跑过，到那个深池去游泳，晚上，流浪汉拖着疲惫的脚步从大路上下来，沿这条路走到河边宿营，因此，这条路被踩得结结实实。在一棵巨大的悬铃树的低平树枝前有一个灰堆，是许多人在这里生过火而形成的，树枝因为坐得人多，已经磨得很光滑了。
