Natural Phenomena 自然现象
1. The Clear Sky 晴空

4. Beautiful Dawn 凌晨美景

The first drops of rain are huge; they split into the dust on the ground, and plunk on the roof. The rain now

I am drawn outside while the rain still falls. All around, there is cool and welcome feeling. I breathe deeply
and watch the sun’s rays streak through breaking clouds. One ray catches the drops that from on the edge of
the roof, and I am treated to a row of tiny, quivering colors—my private rainbow. They are red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, which makes a wonderland. 雨一直在下，我跑出去，享受周围那
一丝丝清凉的感觉。我 深深地吸了一口气，看着阳光明媚穿过残云。一缕阳光正好照在屋檐边的雨
滴上，形成了只有我才看见的 一条细细的，忽隐忽现的彩虹。五颜六色-----赤橙黄绿青蓝紫，简直就
像仙境一般。

9．A Thunder Storm 雷雨
The sky is full of black clouds. Flashes of lightning lit up the courts, old houses, and ramshackle porches,
and thunder begins to roar overhead. No birds sing any longer, but the leaves of the trees rustle and a wind
blows against our faces. A drop of water falls, then another, and then the rain falls on the leaves of the trees
and the iron roofs with a noise reminding us of the beating of drums. A brilliant stripe o flight fills the sky.
Suddenly there comes a terrible thunderclap overhead, and then the sky is full of roars of thunder. 天空乌
云密布，雷电闪闪，照亮了天井、老屋，还有那摇摇欲坠 的走廊。一声惊雷在头顶上炸响。只有树
叶的沙沙声。风吹打在脸上，雨开始一滴一滴地下着，雨滴打在 树叶和铁皮屋顶上，就像敲锣打鼓
的声音。一道闪电越过天空，紧接着头顶上又是一声惊雷，然后天空中 轰鸣的雷声不断。
10．Snow Picture 雪景
When I got up the next morning, I saw that the ground was covered with a vast blanket of whiteness. With
the white ground underfoot, and the chimneys here and there sending out brown smoke into the clear blue
sky overhead, the whole scene might match the most beautiful morning picture in the world. 当我第二天
早晨起床时，我看到大地被厚厚的白色毯子覆盖着。在脚下白色的大地上，缕 缕炊烟升入头顶蔚蓝

As soon as I walked outside，I was greeted with the shimmering white blanket of cold. Despite the chill

breath to hear more snow was coming.茄烟刚出门，便扑面而 来一大片晶莹雪白的冰凉。冷气袭来，肌
肤阵阵战栗，而内心却温暖如初。觉得自己似乎能发热，因而渴 望在这寒冷中长时间的伫足。这是
一个大自然与你交流的日子。我深深地吸了一口气，静听雪花飘落，源 源不绝。。。。。。
12．Smell of Spring 春天的气息
All around us, I can smell spring. The trees are green and leafy. I can hear the sounds of children playing
their yards and the lawn mowers kicking into gear. And the air has a warm breeze to it – the kind that
warms the hairs on your arms as it blows by.我似乎闻到了环绕我们的春天的气息，树林已是枝绿叶茂。
我听到了孩子们在院子中嬉戏的声音；我还听到了绿地上割草机的轰鸣声。空气中洋溢着和煦的微
风—它 拂暖了你臂膀上的汗毛。
13．Spring Dawn 春天的黎明
The most beautiful part of spring is sawn. The east side of the sky turns into a grayish color. From the green
trees, the chirping of the birds can be heard. The grass is soft and green on the side of the road, with little
dewdrops on each piece o f grass, they quietly welcome mother earth t wake up. 春天的黎明是最美的，东
方刚露出鱼肚白，可以听到绿树上鸟儿在歌唱。路边长满了嫩绿的草， 草上沾满了小小的露珠，他

候，乍暖还寒，大地空旷，草木未长；而夏季到来之时，世界成了另一番景象：是一片绿的世界---< br>绿的树叶，绿的草地，树篱间植物葱郁，到处鲜花盛开。

thousands of shining stars; countless fireflies fly here and there under the moonlight like the golden
brightness of shooting star.夏天的傍晚是最美的。繁星点点，一轮冷月挂职在夜空，在月光下无数的
萤火虫飞来飞去，就像浏览一样明亮。

16．Charming Summer Day 夏天的魅力
A hot summer day is not without charm. If you get up before dawn, you may take a pleasant walk. You will
se there is just a faint light in the eastern sky and the stars are beginning to fade. A cool breeze blows. The
grass is cool, the shadowy trees are rustling their leaves, and the air is full of fragrances. 炎热的夏天也是
有魅力的。如果你天亮之前 就起床，你可以舒舒服服地散步。你会看到东边露出淡淡的光，星星开
始消失，吹着凉爽的微风，草也是 凉的，遮荫的树叶沙沙作响，空气里充满了芬芳的味道。
17．Autumn Dusk 秋日黄昏
The most beautiful thing during the autumn is dusk. The setting sun looks like a burning ball of fire; it
makes the sky look so colorful. A flock of wild geese fly back and forth in the sky, as if they don’t want to
leave. The many insects making noise in the grass make fields seem more interesting.秋日的黄昏最美的。
太阳像一个大火球，把天空染成五颜六色。一 群大雁在天空飞来飞去，似乎不想离开。草中的虫鸣
使田野显得更有趣。
18．Autumn Night 秋夜
It was misty on the autumn night. Everything before me became hazy. The hazy lights from the windows of
the distant buildings looked like the eyes of sleepy men. The hazy pavilions lay there as if they were
floating in the air. The hazy threes and grass made me feel that I was in a fairyland. The hazy autumn night
was very beautiful.一个薄雾笼罩的秋夜，我面前的一切都变得模糊起来。远处楼 房的窗户透出模糊的
光，像眨眼朦胧的眼睛。模糊的亭阁好像是飘浮在空中，模糊的树和花草使我感觉身 在仙境一般。
模糊的秋夜太美了。
19．Winter Night 冬夜
It was cold and bleak in the late winter. The night was dark, not a star was to be seen in the gloomy and
dismal sky. The north wind was howling dreadfully outside the house, like the screams of some wounded
wild beasts.阴冷的寒冬，夜里一片漆黑，在阴沉的天空中甚 至连一颗星星都看不见。屋外北风呼啸，
像受伤的野兽的尖叫声。
20．Winter morning 冬天的早晨
The winter morning is most beautiful. The sun hides in the sky not wanting to shine, and snowflakes
happily come into view. Snowflakes slowly drift from the sky covering everything, making the earth look
kike a silver wonderland. The children wake up early in the morning. Outside they build snowmen and
hove snowball fights in their yards. Everyone is happy. 冬天的早晨是最美的。太阳躺在天空中还原出
来，雪片欢快地飞舞着，慢慢地把万 物覆盖，把整个世界变成了银色的梦幻仙境。孩子们早早地起

21．Snow 初雪
The first snow came, How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day long, all night long, on the mountains,
in the meadows, on the roofs of living. All white save the river, that marked its course by a winding black
line across the landscape, What silence, too, came with the snow, and what seclusion! Every sound was
muffled every noise changed to something soft and musical. No more trumping hoofs, no more rattling
wheels! 初雪飘零，多么美啊！它整日整 夜那么静静地飘着，落在山岭上，落在草地上，落在屋顶上。
在一片白茫茫之中，只有河流在美丽的画面 上划出一道曲曲弯弯的黑线。初雪飘落时，是何等的宁
静、何等的幽静！一切声响都江堰市趋于沉寂，一 切噪音都化作柔和的音乐。再没有嘈杂的步行声，
再没有滚滚的车轮声。
22．A Path on My School Campus 校园小路
There was a path paved with cobblestones on the campus of my school. It led from my classroom to a lawn
on the right side. At dawn or at dust, I would stroll along it, breathing in the fresh air of the dawn or tracing
the footprint of the setting sun. Two rows of small willows lined the path. Raising my head, I could see the
blue sky and white clouds which set off the tranquility of the path. Here and there wild flowers with a

3

simple elegant tint truck the eye. I would bend down and pluck one. Oh, the flower smelt so fresh and
fragrant. Only at this time, could I find my spiritual sustenance. The stress from the heavy homework and
tough question would immediately vanish. Oh, what a pleasant and charming place this was! 校园
内有一条卵石 辅成的小路，一端连着教室，一端通向教室右边的那边草地。每天早晨或晚饭后，我
总是要在上面走走， 呼吸黎明的新鲜空气，追寻夕阳的足迹。小路两边，是两行小柳树。抬头望去，
蓝天、白云、更烘托了小 路的寂静。偶尔，几朵野花映入眼帘，花色淡淡的。于是我会蹲下身去采
上一朵。啊！这花泛着清新淡雅 的芬芳。此时此刻，我觉得只有在这儿才能得到精神上的寄托。沉
重的作业带来的烦恼，攻克难题凝聚的 思索，在这儿都会像烟云一样消散得一干二净。这是一个多
么惬意的去处啊！
23．Walk in the Rain 雨中慢步
Getting up in the morning, I like to take a walk。 It was raining one day. Drop by drop,, it fell
in my head. I was in high spirit. Along the path, there were many little red and yellow flowers
which put their heads up to absorb their drinks. They had been completely washed. They appeared fresh
and lovely. How lovely they looked! 我喜欢早晨起来散步。一天，天正在下着雨。一滴一滴，落到我的头上。我兴致高昂。沿路，许多红色、黄色的小花仰起脑袋吮吸着它们的饮料。在经过雨水完全
冲 洗后，它们显得新鲜、活泼。
24．A Spring Outing 春游美景
It was Sunday. We set out very early on bikes, carrying bottles of beer and bags of cakes, bacon and cooked
eggs. WE rode along the winding paths in the fields, across the meadows and sown the roads. The willows
were fresh and green. The swallows were flying to and fro, up and down in the sky. The birds, like
musician, sang their melodious songs in the trees, and butterflies, like colorful dancers, were fluttering here
and there. We breathed the fresh air deeply and laughed heartily.星期天一大早，我们就骑着 自行车出发
了，随身带着几瓶啤酒，还有几盒蛋糕、一点熏肉和一些煮鸡蛋。我们沿着田间崎岖的小路前 进，
穿过草地，顺道而下。柳树挂上了鲜绿。燕子在天空飞旋。小鸟像音乐家一样，在树上唱着优美的< br>歌，蝴蝶像多采多姿的舞蹈家一样，拍动着翅膀，飞来飞去，我们深深地呼吸着新鲜空气，开怀大
笑。
25．Feeling in Snow 雪天随想
As soon as I walked outside, I was greeted with the shimmering white blanket of cold. Despite the chill
overwhelming my skin, inside I was warm. I felt as though I could be giving off heat; I had the desire to
stay out in this freeze for hours. It was the type of day that speaks to you through its elements; I took a deep
breath to hear more snow was coming. As I walked I looked up, trying to realize what made this day so
beautiful, and so peaceful. It was as if time had been put temporarily on hold, and I sensed myself flo9stign
away. I sat down on the edge of a curb and listened. All these was to hear the wind rushing over the top of
my head and circling some old, cracking leaves some yards away. To me it was the reassuring sound of
nature, trying not to be forgotten. 刚出门，便扑面而来一 大片晶莹雪白的冰凉。冷气袭来，肌肤阵阵
战栗，而内心却温暖如初。觉得自己似乎能发发热，因而渴望 在这寒冷中长时间的伫足。这是一个
大自然与你交流的日子。我深深地吸了一口气，静听雪花飘落。漫步 雪中，举目四顾，我努力思索
是什么竟然能够把这一天变得如此美丽和宁静。那一刻，时间仿佛停止了。 我仿佛脱离了尘世。坐
在路边，仔细聆听。只有风从头顶掠过，卷走几码远的干枯树叶。在我心中，这是 大自然给人安慰、
令人难忘的声音。
26．The Window 窗外的景象
The window overlooked a park where there was a lake. There were ducks and swans in the lake, and
children came to throw them bread. Young lovers walked hand in hand under the trees, and there were
flowers and stretches of grass. And at the back, behind the woods, was a fine view of the city skyline.从小
窗向外眺望，是一座公园，那里有一湾湖水；许多鸭子和天鹅 悠然湖上，孩子们在湖边给它们喂食

面包；成双成对的年青人手 拉着手儿漫步树下，处处有盛开的鲜花和伸展的绿地，树林后城市的上
空清晰可见。
Colorful World 五彩世界
1．The Setting Sun 日落
When the sun begins to set behind the mountains, its long rays light up the green fields of wheat or rice.
And all the trees and bushes with a golden glow. The clouds above the sky also begin to glow with a golden
light, and the mountains are of a lovely purple color.太阳快要下山了，柔和的 光照在绿色的田野里和丛
林上，金光闪闪，天空的云彩也开始金光闪闪，山也变成美丽的紫色。
2．Toward Evening 傍晚
Then as the fiery ball of the sun is gone altogether behind the mountain, the red color of the clouds begins
to fade, and gradually fakes away until all the clouds are grey and the mountains become a deep black clear
cut against the pale sky, where the evening stars take the place of the sun and shine brightly. 火红的太阳
隐没到山后，红彤彤的云彩也渐渐地褪色，天空成了灰色，山也变成了 深褐色，像一幅版画映衬在
苍白的天空中。 夜空中明亮的星星开始闪耀。。。。。。
3．Colorful World 五彩世界
The sun was already in the west but it was still shining. Its light was so bright that I couldn’t even open my
eyes. When I arrived at the west Hill, the light became a bit yellow. After a short while, it was completely
golden, then red. The sun nearly set. It was like a great fiery ball. The cloud around it was also painted red.
Little by little the cloud covered more and more of the sun. At last it disappeared behind the cloud. It was
already dark. 太阳偏西，但还非常明亮，强光刺得我睁不开眼。当我到达西山 时，光线泛黄，一会
儿，就变成了金黄色，然后又变成红色，太阳快要下山了，就像一个大火球，把周围 的云也染红了。
太阳慢慢地沉下去，终于躲入云中，天已经黑了。
4．Beach Holiday 海滩假日
I had always liked the beach. I t didn’t matter if the sun didn’t shine while you were hiking in the lake
District—in fact, a light rain made it all the more exhilarating. I yearned for the bright blues, yellows and
reds of a beach holiday. 我一向喜欢海滩。当来到湖泊地区远足时，天空没有阳光并不要紧。 事实上，
一场小雨会更增添其中的情趣罗强烈地向往着海滩假日中明亮的湛蓝色、金黄色。
5．Natural Beauty 自然美景
On one side, beginning at the very lip of the pool, was a tiny meadow, a cool, resilient surface of green that
extended to the vase of the frowning wall. Beyond the pool a gentle slope of earth ran up and up to meet the
opposing wall. Fine grass covered the slope-grass that was spangled with flowers, with here and there
patches of color, orange and purple and golden. 在深潭的一边，有一片小小的草地，凉爽而富 有弹性的
绿草地从潭的边缘延伸到皱折的峭壁下面。深潭的另、一边，一个缓坡延伸着直上到对面的峭壁 。
满坡鲜美的草，五颜六色的花朵，桔黄色的、紫色的、金黄色的点缀其间。
Natural World山川风貌
1．The Morning Dew 晨露
On sunshiny summer mornings, the grass is often wet with dew. There maybe drops of dew on flowers and
bushes, and spider webs, too. The drops of dew sparkle like jewels when the sun shines on them. 在 晴朗的
夏天的凌晨，草上常常沾满露珠，花丛中，甚至蜘蛛网上也有。当阳光照耀在露珠上时露珠像珠宝
一样闪闪发光。
2．Lijiang River 漓江
The river is rally very clean and pure. We rented a boat and enjoyed the beautiful scenes along the river.
The mountains are so special. I’ve seen many other kinds of mountains, but I like Guilihn’s mountains best.

5

I’ve seen many rivers before, but I like Lijiang Rivers best. 河水清澈透明，我们租了一条小船，沿江欣
赏着美景。山很奇特，我见过许多其他类型的山 ，但我最喜欢桂林的山，我也见过许多河流，但我
最喜欢漓江。
3．Night of the Lake 湖之夜
Around the lake are some trees, their slender leaves bellowing in the gentle wind. There must be some
frogs in the middle of the lake, whose endless singing can be heard clearly. What an attractive night! 湖周
围有些树，嫩嫩的树叶在微风中飘扬。 湖中一定有青蛙，我能清楚地听见它们在不停地歌唱。多美
的夜晚啊！
4．Ocean at the Sunset 日落时的大海
A gust of wind brought forth the faint smell of fish, and this made me feel joyous. Slowly, the rays of
sunlight faded, and dimness surrounded me. The entire ocean changed to a dark violet hue. Later, the red
sun escaped into the sea. 一阵海风带来了淡淡的鱼腥味，使我兴奋起来 。慢慢地，太阳光消失了，周
围一片朦胧，整个海洋变成暗紫色，最后红红的太阳消失在大海里。
5．Sea Beauty 大海美景
From as far as you could see on the left and right was open water and sand. The splash of pieces of
seashells lay scattered on the beach and small holes covered the sand where the crabs had dug in. The wind
felt soft and warm and the water not very chilling. Far in the distance the sun was changing the color from a
yellow to an orange and then to a red ball hanging over the horizon. 极目远眺，你能看见一望无垠的大海
和沙滩。海滩上散落着海贝，还有一些小洞，那是螃蟹挖的。风柔而暖，水也并不太凉。远处的太
阳由 黄色变成橘红色，一个大红球，悬挂在天边。
6．Waterfall 瀑布
From the sky fell the waterfall’s high rising, thick mist. When in contact with sunlight, the seven—colored
rainbow hung in the sky, which was very stunning. 瀑布飞流直下，震荡起浓浓的水雾，在阳光照耀下
形成美丽的七色彩虹，挂在空中，令人称奇。
7．Canyon 峡谷
It was the green heart of the canyon, where the walls swerved back from the rigid plan and relieved their
harshness of line by making a little sheltered nook and filling it to the brim with sweetness and roundness
and softness. Here all things rested. Even the narrow stream ceased its turbulent down—rush long enough
to form a quiet pool….. 这是峡谷葱绿的中心，在这里峭壁改变了它们僵硬的形式和粗糙的线条，形
成 一个小小的隐蔽处，并使 之充满甜美、圆润和安逸。这儿一切都很宁静，甚至连咆哮着直冲而下
的瀑布也平静下来，。形成了一个 宁静的深潭。。。。。。
8．Canyon and Mountain 峡谷与山
The walls leaned together abruptly, and the canyon ended in a chaos of rocks, moss—covered and hidden
by a green screen of vines and creepers and boughs of trees. Up the canyon rose far hills and peaks, the big
foothills, pine—covered and remote. And far beyond, like clouds upon the border of the sky, towered
minarets of white, where the Sierra’s eternal snows flashed austerely the blazes. 峭壁险峻互为倚靠，峡谷
掩没在杂乱的盖满苔藓、披着各种攀爬植物藤和树丛 的绿色屏障的岩石之间。在峡谷的上面，起伏
连绵的山峦和山峰向远方，大片的丘陵地带，满山的松林依 稀可见。更远处，像朵朵白云升起在天
际，那是些高耸的白干塔。在那天下一带，塞纳山巅的终年积雪质 扑地反射出太阳的光辉。
9．The Forest 森林
There’s beauty in the woods, too, especially late in the fall. Sometimes you walk among the huge trees
where the sunlight filters through. It’s quiet and big, with touches of white and green and gold. And the
silence is like that of church.森林也是美丽的, 特别是晚秋的森林. 有时候,你行走在阳光斑驳的高大
林木间。森林在这儿那儿涂抹着白色、绿色、和 金黄色，深广而且寂静，这寂静就像教堂里的肃穆
一样。

10．The Sea 大海
The sea is very big. Some parts of the sea are very shallow. But some places, the seal is quite deep. The sea
is salty; Rivers carry salt from the land in the sea. In the sea, there are plenty of dishes and plants. Some
live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. Millions of tiny living things float in the sea. These
floating things are so small that it is hard t see them. Many fishes live by eating these living things. 大海很
大。 有的地方很浅，有的地方很 深。大海是咸的。河流把陆地的盐带到了大海里。在大海里，有许
多鱼和植物。有的生活在浅水层，有的 生活在深水层。成百上千万的生物漂浮在海里。这些浮游生
物太小了，我们大家很难看见它们。很多鱼靠 吃这些浮游生物为生。
11．The Dead Sea 死海
The Dead Sea is not a sea. It is a big lake in the Jordan Valley. The river Jordan runs into the Dead Sea. The
lake is about 400 meters below the sea level. The weather is hot there and the water is salty. Fish can not
live in the salty water and plants cannot grow near it. People cannot swim well in the Dead Sea, but they
can float in the water. You can often see people floating on the lake, reading books or newspapers. The
water is very blue and the air is clean. In winter, people come to the lake. They sit in the sunshine or swim
in the warm water. 死海不是海,而是约旦 河谷中的大湖。约旦河流入死海。死海大约低于水平面400
米。这儿的天气很热，湖水是咸的。鱼和植 物都无法在如此咸的水中生存。人们也无法在死海里自
由地游泳，但人可以浮在水面上。你常常可以看到 众沲在湖面上，读书或看报。水是湛蓝的，空气
是清新的。在冬天，人们也来这儿。他们坐在阳光下或在 温暖的水中游泳。
12．The Summer Palace 颐和园
The Summer Palace is a palace of great interest in Beijing, China, even in the world. It lies in the northwest
of Beijing, dozens of kilometers away from the city. When we went into the entrance, we found a large low
hill called Long Life Mountain, which is covered by trees. At the foot of the mountain, we also saw the
Long Corridor. It has Chinese styles. For example, the most famous is its pictures, while we were walking
along it, we found many nice pictures in surprise. Turning round, Kunming Lake, seventeen—arch bridge
and some other places ran into your eyes. The water in the lake is clean and clear, and we boated on the
lake and swam in it. 颐和园位于中国北京的一处名胜，也是世界的名胜。它位于北京的西北面，离北
京市中心 有数公里远。当我们走进去时，我们看上到一座小山，它就是万寿山，山上长满了树。在
山脚下，是中国 风格的长廊。当我们沿着长廊前行时，惊奇地发现长廊上有很多美丽的画。长廊边，
昆明湖、十七拱桥和 其他美景映入眼帘。湖水清澈见底。我们在湖中划船和游泳。
City Scenes 城市风光
1. Garden 花园
As we climbed the stone steps up the hill, we saw a low—lying garden at the bottom of the hill. Various
flowers and plants seemed to cover up the entire place. This garden was colorful as if it was a fairyland, it
was extremely beautiful. 当我沿着石阶往上爬时，我们看见了山下的花园。各种各样的花草 覆盖了整
个花园，这个花园是如此多姿多彩，就像仙境一般。
2. Garden along the Seine River 塞纳河边的花园
Take a stroll along the Seine River. Browse through the art vendors, colorful paintings. Peek through
delicate iron gates at the well—kept gardens. Watch closely for the French attention to detail. You will se it
in the design of a doorway or arch and in the little fountains and quaint balconies. No matter where you
look, you will find everyday objects transformed into works by art. 沿着塞纳河漫步，浏览艺术家们色彩
丰富的绘画，透过那些精致的铁门，向内偷窃那些 精心 照看的花园。仔细观察法国人对于细节的留

可以发现日常物品已经变成了艺术品。
3. Snow—covered Mountains 雪山

The trees around the schoolyard looked like huge men with silver clothes defending our school. Beyond,
snow—covered mountains in the distance looked like an elephant made of wax. What a wonderful scene!
校园周围的树就像穿着银装的巨人守卫着我们大家的校园。校 园外，远处被除数雪覆盖的硕像蜡做
大象。多美的景色啊！
4. Modern City 现代城市
House are packed tightly together, and where are no houses, there are roads. On these roads, the traffic flow
is endless. Naturally, the children have nowhere to play. They must simply sit indoors on their own and
watch television. The rooms are cramped and short of sunlight. 这里的房子一个挨着一个，没有房子的
地方工业便是道路，在这样的路面上，车辆 川流不息。自然孩子们没有过玩耍的地方工业，只能 自
己呆在家里看电视。房间狭窄，而且是缺少阳光。
5. Street Shaded by Trees绿树成荫的街道
Sometimes in Orlando the trees shading a street make it more inviting than the house do .It was the tree
arching over. Sabal Lane that called to young officer Evan Mahoney one afternoon. The freckled—face

比屋里更留得住人。一个炎热的下午，被遮天蔽日的大树 覆盖着的沙伯尔街吸引着年轮的警官埃文。
马海尼。这名满脸雀斑的警察在一座他从未见过的、最不寻常 的花园前停下车。
6. Hongkong’s Night 香港夜景
While you are crossing the harbor at night, your heart will be caught by the beauty of Hong Kong’s night.
The lights glimmer all the time. Their colors white, red, yellow, and green—glimmer like many kinds of
diamonds. If you look in the sea, you will see that the water is as beautiful as the real light because the
lights are also reflected in the water. When you look up at the sky, you will see the bright moon above your
head. It seems like a big diamond. Besides it there are small diamonds, stars, accompanying it. At that time,

breath to hear more snow was coming. As I walked I looked up, trying to realize what made this day so
beautiful, and so peaceful. It was as if time had been put temporarily on hold, and I sensed myself flo9stign
away. I sat down on the edge of a curb and listened. All these was to hear the wind rushing over the top of
my head and circling some old, cracking leaves some yards away. To me it was the reassuring sound of
nature, trying not to be forgotten. 刚出门，便扑面而来一 大片晶莹雪白的冰凉。冷气袭来，肌肤阵阵
战栗，而内心却温暖如初。觉得自己似乎能发发热，因而渴望 在这寒冷中长时间的伫足。这是一个

是什么竟然能够把这一天变得如此美丽和宁静。那一刻，时间仿佛停止了。 我仿佛脱离了尘世。坐
在路边，仔细聆听。只有风从头顶掠过，卷走几码远的干枯树叶。在我心中，这是 大自然给人安慰、
令人难忘的声音。

The window overlooked a park where there was a lake. There were ducks and swans in the lake, and

patches of color, orange and purple and golden. 在深潭的一边，有一片小小的草地，凉爽而富 有弹性的

I’ve seen many rivers before, but I like Lijiang Rivers best. 河水清澈透明，我们租了一条小船，沿江欣
赏着美景。山很奇特，我见过许多其他类型的山 ，但我最喜欢桂林的山，我也见过许多河流，但我
最喜欢漓江。
3．Night of the Lake 湖之夜
Around the lake are some trees, their slender leaves bellowing in the gentle wind. There must be some
frogs in the middle of the lake, whose endless singing can be heard clearly. What an attractive night! 湖周
围有些树，嫩嫩的树叶在微风中飘扬。 湖中一定有青蛙，我能清楚地听见它们在不停地歌唱。多美
的夜晚啊！
4．Ocean at the Sunset 日落时的大海
A gust of wind brought forth the faint smell of fish, and this made me feel joyous. Slowly, the rays of
sunlight faded, and dimness surrounded me. The entire ocean changed to a dark violet hue. Later, the red
sun escaped into the sea. 一阵海风带来了淡淡的鱼腥味，使我兴奋起来 。慢慢地，太阳光消失了，周
围一片朦胧，整个海洋变成暗紫色，最后红红的太阳消失在大海里。
5．Sea Beauty 大海美景
From as far as you could see on the left and right was open water and sand. The splash of pieces of
seashells lay scattered on the beach and small holes covered the sand where the crabs had dug in. The wind
felt soft and warm and the water not very chilling. Far in the distance the sun was changing the color from a
yellow to an orange and then to a red ball hanging over the horizon. 极目远眺，你能看见一望无垠的大海
和沙滩。海滩上散落着海贝，还有一些小洞，那是螃蟹挖的。风柔而暖，水也并不太凉。远处的太
阳由 黄色变成橘红色，一个大红球，悬挂在天边。
6．Waterfall 瀑布
From the sky fell the waterfall’s high rising, thick mist. When in contact with sunlight, the seven—colored
rainbow hung in the sky, which was very stunning. 瀑布飞流直下，震荡起浓浓的水雾，在阳光照耀下
形成美丽的七色彩虹，挂在空中，令人称奇。
7．Canyon 峡谷
It was the green heart of the canyon, where the walls swerved back from the rigid plan and relieved their
harshness of line by making a little sheltered nook and filling it to the brim with sweetness and roundness
and softness. Here all things rested. Even the narrow stream ceased its turbulent down—rush long enough
to form a quiet pool….. 这是峡谷葱绿的中心，在这里峭壁改变了它们僵硬的形式和粗糙的线条，形
成 一个小小的隐蔽处，并使 之充满甜美、圆润和安逸。这儿一切都很宁静，甚至连咆哮着直冲而下
的瀑布也平静下来，。形成了一个 宁静的深潭。。。。。。
8．Canyon and Mountain 峡谷与山
The walls leaned together abruptly, and the canyon ended in a chaos of rocks, moss—covered and hidden
by a green screen of vines and creepers and boughs of trees. Up the canyon rose far hills and peaks, the big
foothills, pine—covered and remote. And far beyond, like clouds upon the border of the sky, towered
minarets of white, where the Sierra’s eternal snows flashed austerely the blazes. 峭壁险峻互为倚靠，峡谷
掩没在杂乱的盖满苔藓、披着各种攀爬植物藤和树丛 的绿色屏障的岩石之间。在峡谷的上面，起伏
连绵的山峦和山峰向远方，大片的丘陵地带，满山的松林依 稀可见。更远处，像朵朵白云升起在天
际，那是些高耸的白干塔。在那天下一带，塞纳山巅的终年积雪质 扑地反射出太阳的光辉。
9．The Forest 森林
There’s beauty in the woods, too, especially late in the fall. Sometimes you walk among the huge trees
where the sunlight filters through. It’s quiet and big, with touches of white and green and gold. And the
silence is like that of church.森林也是美丽的, 特别是晚秋的森林. 有时候,你行走在阳光斑驳的高大
林木间。森林在这儿那儿涂抹着白色、绿色、和 金黄色，深广而且寂静，这寂静就像教堂里的肃穆
一样。

10．The Sea 大海
The sea is very big. Some parts of the sea are very shallow. But some places, the seal is quite deep. The sea
is salty; Rivers carry salt from the land in the sea. In the sea, there are plenty of dishes and plants. Some
live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. Millions of tiny living things float in the sea. These
floating things are so small that it is hard t see them. Many fishes live by eating these living things. 大海很
大。 有的地方很浅，有的地方很 深。大海是咸的。河流把陆地的盐带到了大海里。在大海里，有许
多鱼和植物。有的生活在浅水层，有的 生活在深水层。成百上千万的生物漂浮在海里。这些浮游生
物太小了，我们大家很难看见它们。很多鱼靠 吃这些浮游生物为生。
11．The Dead Sea 死海
The Dead Sea is not a sea. It is a big lake in the Jordan Valley. The river Jordan runs into the Dead Sea. The
lake is about 400 meters below the sea level. The weather is hot there and the water is salty. Fish can not
live in the salty water and plants cannot grow near it. People cannot swim well in the Dead Sea, but they
can float in the water. You can often see people floating on the lake, reading books or newspapers. The
water is very blue and the air is clean. In winter, people come to the lake. They sit in the sunshine or swim
in the warm water. 死海不是海,而是约旦 河谷中的大湖。约旦河流入死海。死海大约低于水平面400
米。这儿的天气很热，湖水是咸的。鱼和植 物都无法在如此咸的水中生存。人们也无法在死海里自
由地游泳，但人可以浮在水面上。你常常可以看到 众沲在湖面上，读书或看报。水是湛蓝的，空气
是清新的。在冬天，人们也来这儿。他们坐在阳光下或在 温暖的水中游泳。
12．The Summer Palace 颐和园
The Summer Palace is a palace of great interest in Beijing, China, even in the world. It lies in the northwest
of Beijing, dozens of kilometers away from the city. When we went into the entrance, we found a large low
hill called Long Life Mountain, which is covered by trees. At the foot of the mountain, we also saw the
Long Corridor. It has Chinese styles. For example, the most famous is its pictures, while we were walking
along it, we found many nice pictures in surprise. Turning round, Kunming Lake, seventeen—arch bridge
and some other places ran into your eyes. The water in the lake is clean and clear, and we boated on the
lake and swam in it. 颐和园位于中国北京的一处名胜，也是世界的名胜。它位于北京的西北面，离北
京市中心 有数公里远。当我们走进去时，我们看上到一座小山，它就是万寿山，山上长满了树。在
山脚下，是中国 风格的长廊。当我们沿着长廊前行时，惊奇地发现长廊上有很多美丽的画。长廊边，
昆明湖、十七拱桥和 其他美景映入眼帘。湖水清澈见底。我们在湖中划船和游泳。
City Scenes 城市风光
1. Garden 花园
As we climbed the stone steps up the hill, we saw a low—lying garden at the bottom of the hill. Various
flowers and plants seemed to cover up the entire place. This garden was colorful as if it was a fairyland, it
was extremely beautiful. 当我沿着石阶往上爬时，我们看见了山下的花园。各种各样的花草 覆盖了整
个花园，这个花园是如此多姿多彩，就像仙境一般。

look, you will find everyday objects transformed into works by art. 沿着塞纳河漫步，浏览艺术家们色彩

可以发现日常物品已经变成了艺术品。
3. Snow—covered Mountains 雪山

The trees around the schoolyard looked like huge men with silver clothes defending our school. Beyond,
snow—covered mountains in the distance looked like an elephant made of wax. What a wonderful scene!

大象。多美的景色啊！
4. Modern City 现代城市
House are packed tightly together, and where are no houses, there are roads. On these roads, the traffic flow

watch television. The rooms are cramped and short of sunlight. 这里的房子一个挨着一个，没有房子的
地方工业便是道路，在这样的路面上，车辆 川流不息。自然孩子们没有过玩耍的地方工业，只能 自

Sometimes in Orlando the trees shading a street make it more inviting than the house do .It was the tree
arching over. Sabal Lane that called to young officer Evan Mahoney one afternoon. The freckled—face
policeman braked in front of the most unusual garden he’d ever seen. 在奥兰多，绿树成荫的街道有时会
比屋里更留得住人。一个炎热的下午，被遮天蔽日的大树 覆盖着的沙伯尔街吸引着年轮的警官埃文。

6. Hongkong’s Night 香港夜景
While you are crossing the harbor at night, your heart will be caught by the beauty of Hong Kong’s night.
The lights glimmer all the time. Their colors white, red, yellow, and green—glimmer like many kinds of
diamonds. If you look in the sea, you will see that the water is as beautiful as the real light because the
lights are also reflected in the water. When you look up at the sky, you will see the bright moon above your
head. It seems like a big diamond. Besides it there are small diamonds, stars, accompanying it. At that time,
you may feel that you are living in diamond world.当你晚上来到 港湾时，香港美丽的夜景会让你留连
忘返。灯光若 隐若现，有白的，红的，黄的，还有绿的，就像钻石一般。向海里望去，你会看到海

钻石，旁边还有许多小的钻 石----星星陪伴着它。那时，你感觉就像住在钻石的世界里。

气升起，巴黎的诱惑力也随之而起。你会听到 附近室外音乐会演奏 的乐曲。巴黎人热爱自己的音乐，

是不会停止的。
8. Splendid Buildings 辉煌的建筑
From the freeway you will see the beautiful—looking buildings set high on the green mountain. When you
get in, you will find the lobby is very large. The most impressive item in the lobby is the large, beautiful,
all—marble staircase that comes down from the second floor on two sides of the lobby; a huge bronze wall
painting separates the two staircases. Standing in the lobby you feel as if you have walked into a king’s
palace because of so many beautiful things around you. 从高速公路上，你可以看到绿色的山顶上那些漂
亮的建筑。如果你走进去，就会发现大厅很大，而大厅最吸引人的是那宽大的漂亮的大理石楼梯，

因 为你周围的一切都是那么漂亮。
9．New York City 纽约市
New York is the most energetic city in the world. However, when you arrive in New York, the first you
notice is the skyline, hundreds of skyscrapers, that classic American building from towering over the people

an traffic below. It may come as a surprise that the center of the city, Manhattan, is actually an island only
21 kilometers long and 6 kilometers wide, but it is the powerful center of many world industries and

everything from movies to cameras to watches. This is known as Broadway, where dozens of theaters have
presented musicals and plays for almost 100 years. 统纽约是世界是最有活力的城市。然而，当你到达

的百老汇。在这儿有许多剧院。近 百年来，无数的音乐和戏剧在这儿上演着。

of the bed. 年纪比较小 的孩子们想，圣诞老人可能性从烟囱里或者壁炉里出来，于是他们就挂上一

The ― fools’ errands‖ we play on people are practical jokes, Filling the sugar bowl with salt, stuffing a

and not meant to harm anyone. The cleverest April fool joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially
the person upon whom the joke is played. 我们对人做的“愚人差事”属 于日常性玩笑。在糖碗里加上

flattering honor and the contents are shared among envious acquaintances. 此外，还有愚人节信件，其特
