The basket was always too big for me; it would bounce against my legs or drag along the ground. Often it made me stumble. I rarely filled my basket. Either I missed the wheat stalks lying in the fields, or I was distracted by grasshoppers and butterflies.

• 对我来说，那篮子未免太大，老是磕碰着我的腿和地面，时不时就让我跌上一跤，我也少有拣满一篮子的时候，我看不见地里的麦穗，却总是看见蚂蚱和蝴蝶。
