早春的风雪
昨夜一夜的风雪,呜呜地响。女儿早早地发来短信说她生物化学的考试又得了A,上周刚考完还说感觉不太好正郁闷呢。
早晨雪停,太阳在东边刚露出脸一会儿,很快又隐约在灰蒙蒙的天际间。一阵风吹过,雪花满天飞。
每次看到大雪厚厚覆盖的白茫茫大地,就想起梭罗“瓦尔登湖”里的一些话:
“There was a gentle limpid air out of doors, as if the world were some pure, unseasoned snowball.”
“户外的空气清澈温和,仿佛整个世界都是一颗纯净、未经雕琢的雪球。”
“I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path, and was refreshed by the sight of a single evergreen standing amid the snow.”
“我瞥见一只土拨鼠悄悄穿过我的小路,看到雪中屹立的一棵常青树,顿时精神焕发。”
“The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling.”
“我们天性中最美好的品质,就像果实上的粉霜,只有在最温柔的对待下才能被保留。”
