The dusky water of the Yongding remained behind them flashing and dancing in the yellow rays of the westering sun .

薄暮的永定河水 被留在他们身后。在黄色的 斜阳 照耀 下闪跳。

When he arrived back at the big tree behind the woods the westering sun had already sunk into a bank of long thin clouds .

他走回树林后面那 颗大树下时， 偏西的太阳 正沉入一 条薄薄的长云。

He stared fixedly at the river flowing away off to the south which in the rays of the westering sun seemed as if it were brimming with molten copper .

他凝视着向南 流逝的黄河水， 西 斜的阳光 下，河里像是 满溢 着 一川铜水。

He remembered how the day was turning to evening and the river water was sparkling in the westering light .

他还记得那天天色晚了，河水在薄暮中 闪 着 白晃晃的光。
