Chapter Ⅳ 接过墨客的衣钵摇旗呐喊（26）
This man is curious. He says to the young woman, “What are you reading?”
“是讲俄国的。”这女子说。
“It is about Russia,” says the girl.
“你知道俄国在哪儿吗？”他自己几乎都不知道。
“Do you know where Russia is?” He hardly knows himself.
这位年轻的女子直直地看着他，尽管两眼被风沙吹得通红，但满含着尊严。“我那时候是班上最好的。我老师说，我是最好的。”
The young woman looks straight at him, full of dignity though her eyes are red from dust, “I was best in the class. My teacher said, I was best.”
这年轻的女子接着读了下去：她想把这一段读完。
The young woman resumes her reading: she wants to get to the end of the paragraph.
这位印度人看看那两个小孩子，就拿了些芬达饮料，可是那位母亲说：“她们喝了芬达，会渴的。”

现在，她把盛水的大塑料壶递给他，他装满水。年轻女子和孩子们紧紧地盯着他，这样他一滴水都不会洒出来。
Now she hands over to him a plastic water container, which he fills. The young woman and the children, watch him closely so that he doesn’t spill any.
她又埋头看那本书了。她看得很慢，不过那一段很是使她着迷，她就又看了一遍。
She is bending again over the book. She reads slowly but the paragraph fascinates her and she reads it again.
“瓦连卡的黑发上包着一条白头纱，身边环绕着一群孩子，正和蔼而快活地为他们忙着，而且显然因为她所喜欢的男子可能向她求婚而非常兴奋，她的样子十分动人。谢尔盖?伊万诺维奇和她并肩走着，不住地欣赏她。望着她，他回忆起听见她说过的一切动人的话，他所知道的她的一切优点，他越来越感觉到，他对她所抱着的感情是一种很罕有的感情，这种感情他在好久好久以前，只在他的青年时代感到过一次。接近她所产生的快感不断加强，以至达到这样的地步，当他把他采到的一只细茎、菌边往上翻的大桦
