季節類英語作文：Stars on a Snowy Night
英語
The thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero, but still chose to sleep in the porch as usual. In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky. Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots, yet I had become so accustomed to them that their occasional absence would bring me loneliness and ennui.
It had been snowing all night, not a single star in sight. My roommate and I, each wrapped in a quilt, were seated far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting away.
She exclaimed pointing to something afar, “Look, Venus in rising!” I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp round the bend in a mountain path. I beamed and said pointing to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain, “It’s Jupiter over there!”
More and more lights came into sight as we kept pointing here and there. Lights from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created the scene of a star-studded sky. With the distinction between sky and forest obscured by snowflakes, the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars.
Completely lost in a make-believe world, I seemed to see all the lamplights drifting from the ground. With the illusory stars hanging still overhead, I was spared the effort of tracing their positions when I woke up from my dreams in the dead of night.
Thus I found consolation even on a lonely snowy night !
譯文
溫度計已下降到零下18度,但仍選擇了像往常一樣睡在門廊上。在晚上,我最熟悉的景象將天上的星星。雖然他們不過是點點閃爍的光明,而我習慣了他們,偶爾的缺席會讓我孤獨和無聊。
整晚一直在下雪,沒有一個明星。我的室友和我,每一個裹著被子,坐在門廊的距離在不同的角落,面對對方,聊天。
她指著遠處的東西驚呼道,“看,金星在上升!“我什麼也沒抬頭看見一盞燈轉折處的'山路。我怡然一笑,指著對山的一星燈火說,“那邊是木星!”
一看到越來越多的燈,我們一直指向。在松林中閃爍的燈颶風形成星羅棋佈的天空的場景。與天空和森林被雪花,之間的區別的繁燈當作繁星,星星一樣多。
完全迷失在一個虛構的世界中,我似乎看到所有的從地上真的漂流。與虛幻的星星掛還開銷,我大難不死的努力跟蹤他們的位置,當我醒來在夜深人靜的時候我的夢想。
因此我發現甚至安慰寂寞的晚上!
