Dear Daddy-Long-Legs, 亲爱的长腿叔叔： Is it snowing where you are? All the world that I see from my tower is draped in white and the flakes are coming down as big as pop-corns. It's late afternoon--the sun is just setting (a cold yellow colour) behind some colder violet hills, and I am up in my window seat using the last light to write to you. 您那里下雪了吗？从我的小阁楼望去，大地茫茫的一片雪白，雪花如爆米花般纷纷扬扬飘落下来。此刻正是傍晚时分，太阳刚落到寒冷的紫色山头后面，我坐在高高的窗台上，在最后一点余辉中，写信给您。 Your five gold pieces were a surprise! I'm not used to receiving Christmas presents. You have already given me such lots of things--everything I have, you know--that I don't quite feel that I deserve extras. But I like them just the same. Do you want to know what I bought with my money? 意外地收到您寄来的5个金币！我还没有养成收圣诞礼物的习惯。您已经给我这么多东西了——我所拥有的一切，您知道的——我觉得自己已经拥有太多了。但是我还是很高兴。您想知道我用钱买了什么吗？ I. A silver watch in a leather case to wear on my wrist and get me to recitations in time. 一、一只皮表带的银手表，使我能够准时复习功课。 II. Matthew Arnold's poems. 二、马修•阿诺德的诗集。 |
