Beep! Beep! Beep! I rolled over and turned off my alarm clock. “嘀！嘀！嘀！”我翻了个身，关掉了闹钟。 It was still dark outside so I felt my way to the wall switch and turned on the light. 外面还一片漆黑，我摸索着穿过房间，找到墙上的开关，打开电灯。 I got dressed quickly because I knew both of my dogs would be eager to get outside for their morning walk. 我快速穿好衣服，我知道我的两条狗都急不可耐地想要出门去晨练了。 I reached over to grab a coat and stopped. 我伸手去拿外套，然后楞了一下。 It was technically still Fall but the weather here in the Appalachian mountains of my home didn't follow a calendar. 按道理来说，现在还是晚秋，可是我的家在阿拉巴契亚山脚下，气候与时令迥异。 It had been cold and snowy two days ago and warm and rainy yesterday. 两天前还雪花飘飘，严寒刺骨。昨天又小雨淅淅，温暖如春。 I had forgotten to check the weather report for today, however, so I wasn't sure if I needed my light jacket or my heavy coat. 昨天我忘了查今天的天气情况了，我考虑了一下，是应该选择轻便的夹克衫还是厚外套。 I decided on my light jacket, pulled it on, and leashed up my bigger dog, Fluffy to walk first. |
