我认识他时,也不过十多岁,离现在将有三十年了;那时我的父亲还在世,家景也好,我正是一个少爷。
Back when I first met him-it will soon be thirty years ago-I couldn't have been much more than ten myself. Since my father was still alive at the time, our family was still fairly well-to-do, and I was something of a "young gentleman." (Lyell)
When I first met him he was little more than ten — that was thirty years ago, and at that time my father was still alive and the family well off, so I was really a spoilt child. (Yangs)
I can't have been much older than nine when I first met him - thirty years ago. Back then, my father had still been alive, the family finances tolerably healthy and I the spoilt young master of the house. (Lovell)
鲁迅《故乡》

过了几年,我的家景大不如前了,非谋点事做便要受饿,只得也回到中国来。
A few years later, my own family's fortunes sank. I had to either find work or go hungry, and so I was forced to go back to China too. (Lyell)
A few years later, my family had become so badly off that unless I found a job I would have starved, so I had to go back to China too. (Yangs)
Within a few years, though, the family fortunes had gone to the wall. If I didn't find myself a job, I was going to starve, so I came back. (Lovell)
