本科二学期段落翻译作业
一、找点活在旧社会，我们评剧演员常常挣钱不够吃饭，艺人们大都是拉家带口，生活困难。
演员们唱完戏还要各自找点儿活干，有人拉排子车，有人卖破烂，卖烟卷儿，当小工，拾烟头是普遍现象。
下雨或阴天回戏，不响锣就不给钱，是那时的规矩。
腊月二十三封箱，把祖师爷请到前台去，后台就冷冷清清，演员们更苦了，就等着年初一开戏了才能挣到钱。
腊月二十三灶王爷上天，后台封上戏箱，要等年初一开戏，封箱回戏，演员们封嘴，大家可苦了，各自找生活路子，我们女孩就做点女孩子能做的活。
我同几个女孩去东亚毛纺织厂当小工，分线头，扫地，就是当这个小工也很不容易呀！天不亮去排队，工厂没开大门就排上老长的队了。
工头拿着皮鞭从大门出来，像赶牲口一样赶人，一个挨一个地在人们背上写上号码，这个号码就是上工的证明，当这个小工真不容易，经常是排了一早晨队大门才开，画了不多的号，工头就说：“没号了！没号了！”那种失望心情就别提多难受了！有一年夏天，连阴天，连着回戏。
我只好去排队找活干。
还好，因为去得早，没等多久就划上号了。
回家时忽然下了大雨，一路跑回家，我完全顾不到自己被淋，只想着背上划的号要是被雨淋掉，工就做不成了。
大雨像瓢泼一样，我急着把衣服脱下来，紧紧抱在怀里，飞快跑回家。
回到家里打开一看，号码一点没有被淋湿，可我从头到脚淋成落汤鸡了。
二、吹牛是一件不可看轻的艺术，就如修辞学上不可缺少“张喻”一类的东西一样。
像李太白什么“黄河之水天上来”，又是什么“白发三千丈”，这在修辞学上就叫作“张喻”，而在不懂修辞学的人看来，就觉得李太白在吹牛了。
而且实际上说来，吹牛对于一个人的确有极大的妙用。
人类这个东西，就有这么奇怪，无论什么事，你若老老实实的把实话告诉他，不但不能激起他共鸣的情绪，而且还要轻蔑你冷笑你，假使你见了那摸不清你根底的人，你不管你家里早饭的米是当了被褥换来的3，你只要大言不惭地说“某部长是我父亲的好朋友，某政客是我拜把子的叔公，我认得某某某巨商，我的太太同某军阀的第五位太太是干姊妹”吹起这一套法螺来，那摸不清你的人，便帖帖服服的向你合十顶礼，说不定碰得巧还恭而且敬的请你大吃一顿燕菜席呢4！三、《清明》(唐)杜牧清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。
