棕丝编织的蓑衣，箬叶层叠的斗笠——在塑料雨衣出现之前，它们是农民最忠实的挡雨搭档。

A raincoat of palm fiber, a hat of layered bamboo leaves—long before plastic came along,these were the farmer’s faithful shields against the storm.

蓑衣穿在身上并不舒服，硬挺的棕毛摩擦皮肤，雨水顺着纹理流淌，内里却还能保持干燥。只是时间一长，湿气渗入，肩膀便像压了块浸水的棉被，沉甸甸的。斗笠倒是轻便，但风一大，就得伸手扶住，否则下一秒它就可能翻滚进泥水里。

Scratchy, soaked, and heavy with time—the cape shed rain but never offered comfort. Dampness crept in, weighing the shoulders down, while the wind played tricks with the leaf-light hat, always ready to snatch it into the mud.

如今，蓑笠早已成了民俗馆的展品，或是文艺照片里的复古道具。偶尔在雨天见到，倒像是一段行走的旧时光——只是没人会再穿着它，真正走进风雨里了。

Now, they rest quietly in folk museumsor pose in nostalgic photos,no longer worn through wind and rain,but worn by memory—a glimpse of time walking gently through the drizzle.
