So Ivor was in his last year at school. He's a man, this Ivor! And so Marya did the churning, helped with the chickens,

A cloud gathered on her face. No, lad. Tis too hard for your grandfather to push my chair away down the river.

Listen! said Ivor. He leaned down to whisper something in her ear, then changed his mind. You just wait! he said, and winked slyly at her.

and quaint, old-fashioned Polish costumes for the country folk. Bright spots of color they made,

those striped skirts and bright shawls of the country women, and white, embroidered, sleeveless jackets and polished high boots of the men.
乡村女性穿着条裙子，戴着亮色披肩，乡村男士穿着白色绣花的无袖夹克，和锃亮的高筒靴。
And on the arm of every woman and of almost every child there hung a wreath. Some of the wreaths were made of paper or muslin,
在所有女性的胳臂上，和几乎所有小孩胳臂上都有一个花环，许多花环是纸做的或是细平布，
some of roses or poppies from the gardens and meadows. The Vistula is a wonderful river. It rises in those Carpathian Mountains that make the high, green,

About midway of its long length it passes under the three bridges of Warsaw, the capital of the country.
大约在这条长河的一半，它会经过三座华沙大桥，华沙是波兰首都。
