The Golden Window
金色窗户


       A small boy lived on a farm that seemed so far away from everywhere. He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to start his chores and out again later to do the evening ones.
        During sunset he would take a break and climb up on the fence so in the distance he could see the house with golden windows. He thought how great it would be to live there and his mind wouldwander to imagine the modern equipment and appliances that might exist in the house. “If they couldafford golden windows, then there must have other nice things.” He then promised himself, “Someday I will go there and see this wonderful place.”
        Then one morning his father told him to stay at home and his father would do the chores. Knowing that this was his chance, he packed a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.
        As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how he misjudged the distance and something else was very wrong. As he approached the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place with in bad need of a painting surrounded by a broken down fence. He went to the tattered screen door and knocked. A small boy very close to his age opened the door.
        He asked him if he had seen the house with the golden windows. The boy said, “Sure, I know,” and invited him to sit on the porch. As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came where the sunset turned the windows in his home to gold.

     译文
        有一个小男孩住在一个农场,这个农场好像离所有的地方都很远。每天早上太远出来以前,他需要起床做家务,晚些时候再出来做一次晚上的杂物。
        太阳升起时,他会休息一下,爬上篱笆,这样他就可以看到远处那座有金色窗户的房子。他认为住在那里是非常了不起的事儿,他常常想象着房子里的现代化设备和电器。“要是他们能装得起金色窗户,那肯定还有其他好东西。”随后,他向自己许诺说:“总有一天,我摇到那里去看看这个了不起的地方。”
        后来有一天早上,父亲让他待在家里,自己要去做这些杂务。他知道这是一个机会,就带上一块三明治,穿过田野,朝那座有金色窗户的房子走去。
        下午来临时,他开始意识到自己估计错了到那座房子的距离,其他事情也大相径庭。当走近那座房子时,他没有看到金色窗户,而是看到了一个急需粉刷、四周篱笆坏掉的地方。他走到那扇破门前,敲了敲。一个和他年纪相仿的男孩打开了门。
        他问那个男孩是否见过有个金色窗户的房子。那男孩说:“我当然知道。”并请他坐在门廊上。他坐在哪里,回头向刚才自己走来的方向望去,只见落日把他的家染成了金色。
