The first place that I can well remember was a pleasant meadow1 with a pond of clear water in it. Over the hedge2 on one side we looked into a plowed3 field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our masters house, which stood by the roadside. While I was young I lived upon my mothers milk, as I could not eat grass. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was hot we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and when it was cold we had a warm shed near the grove4. There were six young colts5 in the meadow beside me; they were older than I was. I used to run with them, and had great fun; we used to gallop6 all together round the field, as hard as we could go. Sometimes we had rather rough play, for they would bite and kick, as well as gallop. 我第一个记忆犹新之处,是那片令人心旷神怡的草原,那里有一个池水清澈的池塘。越过一边的篱笆看到的是一块耕地,而在另一边,越过栅栏门后,我们望见的是主人座落在路旁的房子。在我年幼还无法啮食青草时,依靠的便是母亲的奶水。白天我在她身旁奔跑,夜晚时便依偎在她身边睡去;当天气炎热时,我们习惯站在池塘旁边的树荫下,天气寒冷时,则待在邻近树丛的棚子里取暖。 草原上除了我以外,还有六匹小雄马,他们年纪都比我大。我以前常和他们一起奔跑,享受欢乐时光。我们会一齐绕着牧场,尽情地奔驰。有时候我们玩得比较激烈,会一边奔腾,一边彼此又咬又踢。
