街巷

lǎo jiē xiàng

老街巷

old streets and lanes

hái zi men lǐng wǒ chuān guò mí gōng yī bān de jiē xiàng lái dào chéng biān

孩子们领我穿过迷宫一般的街巷，来到城边。

The children lead me through the maze of alleys to the edge of the city.

tā men hái zhàn zài yīn yǐng xià huò jiē xiàng guǎi jiǎo chù tōu tīng guò wǎng xíng rén de tán huà

她们还站在阴影下或街巷拐角处，偷听过往行人的谈话。

They also stood in the shadow or at the corner of the street, eavesdropping on the conversation of passers-by.
