He remembered how the day was turning to evening and the river water was sparkling in the westering light .

他还记得那天天色晚了，河水在薄暮中闪着白晃晃的光。

He stared fixedly at the river flowing away off to the south , which in the rays of the westering sun seemed as if it were brimming with molten copper .

他凝视着向南流逝的黄河水，西斜的阳光下，河里像是满溢着一川铜水。
