大年初四的早上,我起床到阳台上呼吸新鲜的空气。听到楼下锣鼓喧天,往下一瞧,只见一大群人围着一个身穿黄衣服,头戴红帽子的中年人,他身旁还有几个同伴。我很好奇,赶紧跑到楼下看热闹。
On the morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, I got up to the balcony for fresh air. I heard the sound of gongs and drums downstairs. Looking down, I saw a large group of people surrounded by a middle-aged man wearing yellow clothes and red hats. There were several companions beside him. I'm curious, so I ran downstairs to watch the fun.
那个中年人正在表演一个名叫“用牙齿叼起四十二斤的大桌子”的节目。只见那人运完气,走到桌子前,蹲下身子,用牙齿咬住桌子的一角,然后脚慢慢张开,一使劲把桌子叼了起来。后来他又把放着一百斤水的桶和四十二斤的桌子一起叼起来。真是力大无穷呀!
The middle-aged man is performing a program called "a big table with forty-two Jin in its teeth". I saw that the man had finished his breath, went to the table, crouched down, grabbed a corner of the table with his teeth, then slowly opened his feet, and grabbed the table with all his strength. Later he picked up the bucket with 100 Jin of water and the table with 42 Jin. How powerful!
第二个节目是武术。那个中年人把九戒钢鞭舞得有模有样,呼呼生风,还把地上的毯子掀翻了,把地上划了几道白印。
The second program is martial arts. The middle-aged man danced the nine rings of steel whip in a typical way, whirring in the wind, overturned the blanket on the ground and scratched several white marks on the ground.
表演完武术,这人拿出一瓶名叫“少林五毒追风酒”的药水,向在场的观众介绍这神奇的药水。这药水是用三十二种中草药和毒蛇、毒蝎子、毒蜈蚣泡制而成,专治风湿、关节炎、扭伤、红肿。他还让观众当场试验。果真有几个老公公抹了这药水,关节就不痛了。
After performing martial arts, the man took out a bottle of potion called "Shaolin five poisons wind seeking wine" and introduced it to the audience. This potion is made of thirty-two kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, vipers, scorpions and centipedes. It is specially used for rheumatism, arthritis, sprain and swelling. He also made the audience experiment on the spot. If there were several husbands who applied the potion, their joints would not hurt.
介绍完药,他又把独轮小车拿了出来表演。他倒骑了两下,突然停下,往前骑了十几下,又发疯似地转了起来。直到人和车一起倒下才罢手。
After introducing the medicine, he took the wheelbarrow out to perform. He rode backward for two times, stopped suddenly, rode forward for more than ten times, and then turned madly. I didn't stop until people and cars fell down together.
杂技团虽然已经走了,但他们精彩的表演却深深地留在我的心里。
Although the acrobatic troupe has gone, their wonderful performances are deeply in my heart.
