An unusually hot and wet spring this year 今年的春天出奇的潮湿闷热 was followed by an extremely hot and wet summer. 随之而来的夏天更是潮湿闷热到了极点 Sunny skies were constantly giving way to heavy showers 晴朗的天空经常会给大暴雨让步 only to be replaced with more sun and heat. 最后到来的却是更加灼热的阳光，更燥热的温度 This combination has made for a few changes 这样的天气组合让我们一家人不得不做出改变 from our regular Summer here in the mountains of my home. 不再像往常的山中避暑那样度日 The limbs on the trees are growing twice as fast as usual 树上的枝桠长得比平时快了一倍 and their leaves are huge. 树叶也大得出奇 The Queen Anne’s Lace, Daisies and Black Eyed Susan’s 野胡萝卜花，雏菊花和黑眼苏珊花 are growing waist high in the meadows 在草丛中已经长到了齐腰高 and on the sides of the roads. 还蔓生到了路边 The bush in my front yard is shooting up as fast as a Sunflower. 我们前院里的灌木丛已经和向日葵一般高 The grass in my yards is thicker and taller than ever. 院子里的草也比任何时候都要深厚修长 |
