The Todo Village, Flores, Indonesia 印尼佛罗伦斯岛多罗村 :戴着喇叭花帽的小精灵 The Goblin Donning A Morning Glory Hat




戴着喇叭花帽的小精灵

多罗村里的儿童们
在树荫下追逐
斜坡上
竖立着曼加拉英族
圆锥形的茅屋
像个戴着喇叭花帽
玩躲猫猫的小精灵

茅屋的顶尖上
插把十字形的刀把
矮矮的门口只能爬着进入
屋内凉爽宜人
简陋但宽畅
热腾腾的咖啡里
东南西北地闲谈


The Goblin Donning A Morning Glory Hat

In the Todo Village
children are gamboling
under the shade of a huge tree
shrieking above the sound of blowing wind

The hut with a conical roof
perches on the greenish slope
like a goblin donning a morning glory hat
playing hide and seek on the vast expense of grassy plain

A cross-like dagger
stabbed onto the tip of the roof
with a small short door tucked below
where one has to crawl in bending very low 

The interior is simple but spacious
cool and balmy 
with a cup of steaming hot coffee
the host and guest chat delightfully with no worries

The Todo Village, Flores, Indonesia 印尼佛罗伦斯岛多罗村

I was brought to this Todo Village by the guide. The first sight of children playing under the shady tree had already given me a pleasant delight. The hut with a conical roof was really a stun. I like the dagger on the tip of the roof. But alas the door was so small and short that I literally had to crawl in . But the interior and the host were simple and cozy, though there was not a single furniture in sight. I enjoyed the conversation and visit.

导游带我来到这个可爱的多罗村。小孩们在树荫下的嬉戏牵动我心。 那圆锥屋顶的茅屋更让我惊喜连连。喜欢那插在屋尖上的刀把,像武侠小说里的尚方宝剑。但是屋子的门又小又矮,我得爬着进入。主人和屋内一样的简朴温和,虽然家徒四壁。我喜欢这次的家访。
