It was a day in late December. 那是十二月末的一天 The Christmas tree had been taken down. 圣诞树已经从街头搬走 The lights and decorations had been boxed up 彩灯和装饰物收回了盒子 and put in the closet 放回橱柜里 until next year. 等着明年再取出来 And I was feeling a little blue. 我感到有些沉郁 I sure wasn’t looking forward to the long, cold, dark Winter to come. 对于即将到来的漫长,严寒,黑暗的冬天,我没有多少向往 I had always been a light lover on the inside. 在我的内心,我一直喜欢光明 I tried to take comfort 我试着安慰自己 in knowing that 因为我知道 a few more minutes of daylight was being added each day, 每一天,日照的时长都会比昨天多一点 but I still felt tired 但我仍感到疲乏 and run down. 似乎已经被掏空了 I was both surprised and delighted then 没想到一件事情让我感到既惊喜又振奋 when I looked out my window 那时,我从窗口看出去 and saw that a Spring like day had suddenly arrived. 发现一个像春天一样暖和的日子刚刚到来了 |
