The train’s seats: blue with a white strip(条，带) down the middle. The windows: wide, tinted(着色的，有色的) green. The sun: halfway below the horizon(半沉在地平线下). He was playing with the top(陀螺) his mother had bought from the cart lady(推车女小贩). With each spin came flashes of rainbow light: zzz zzz zoom.(每转一圈，便闪出彩虹般的光：嗡——嗡——嗖。) The train’s seats: white with a blue strip down the middle, five per row. The windows: wide, tinted blue. A hard orange sunlight cut through the glass.
火车座椅：蓝色，中间一道白条。车窗：宽大，泛着绿色。太阳：半沉在地平线下。他正玩着母亲从推车小贩那里买来的陀螺。每转一圈，便闪出彩虹般的光：嗡——嗡——嗖。火车座椅：白色，中间一道蓝条，每排五个。车窗：宽大，泛着蓝色。一道刺眼的橘色阳光穿透玻璃。
He was playing with the top his mother had bought. Next to him was his brother, Dudu(嘟嘟（弟弟的名字）). Dudu was 4. He was 9. Their mother was in the bathroom. With each spin came flashes of rainbow light: zzz zzz zoom.
他正玩着母亲买来的陀螺。坐在他旁边的是弟弟嘟嘟。嘟嘟四岁。他九岁。母亲去了洗手间。每转一圈，便闪出彩虹般的光：嗡——嗡——嗖。
The train’s seats: mostly blue and a little white, five per row. They sat in row 18. Earlier Dudu, giggling(咯咯地笑), had knocked over(打翻，碰倒) the top. Annoyed, he’d slapped(拍，掴) Dudu’s hand away. Dudu had grown bored and fallen asleep. Their mother, before going to the bathroom, had told him to watch his little brother(照看弟弟). Now the train pulled into a station, and he tried to read the name of it in the glare(刺眼的光) of the setting sun. He could recognize only two of the four characters: hill and city. Their stop was the next one, but as people got off the train, others were already standing up, reaching for their luggage. The top rolled from the tray table onto the floor, bounced, and slid under the rows in front of him.(陀螺从托盘桌上滚到地板，弹了一下，滑到他前面几排的座位底下。) He crawled on the floor, dodging(躲闪，避开) people’s shoes and thighs and suitcases, until he snatched(一把抓住) it back into the safety of his small, warm fist. When he crawled back to his seat, Dudu was gone.(等他爬回座位，嘟嘟不见了。)
火车座椅：大多是蓝色，带一点白色，每排五个。他们坐在第18排。早些时候，嘟嘟咯咯笑着，把陀螺打翻了。他恼了，一把拍开嘟嘟的手。嘟嘟觉得无聊，睡着了。母亲去洗手间之前，叮嘱他看好弟弟。现在火车驶入一个车站，他试图在夕阳的余晖中辨认站名。四个字里他只认得两个：山和城。他们的站是下一站，但车上的人纷纷起身去拿行李。陀螺从托盘桌上滚到地板，弹了一下，滑到他前面几排的座位底下。他趴在地上爬，躲开人们的鞋、大腿和行李箱，终于一把将它抓回，攥在温暖的小拳头里。等他爬回座位，嘟嘟不见了。
