The Story of Autumn　秋天的故事

The Story of Autumn　秋天的故事

◎ Angelina

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a harvest season, while for me, it is an annoying season. I was preparing for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination. But so many unhappy things made me so tired, so I decided to have a walk along the Yanjiang Road in my university.

這是一個金色的季節(jié)。我看到金黃的落葉隨著清涼的秋風(fēng)飄零。對另一些人來說，這是個收獲的季節(jié)。而對于我，這卻是一個惱人的季節(jié)。我正在準(zhǔn)備研究生入學(xué)考試。但是，如此多的不開心的事讓我太累了，所以我決定順著學(xué)校的沿江路散散心。

“Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The days in this season always get me down,” I thought when the sound of a guitar flowed into my ears, like a stream flowing from the mountains. I was so surprised that I ran to see what it was. A young girl, sitting on the lawn, was lost in playing her guitar. She was a beautiful girl, especially when the wind blew her long hair. I had never seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.

“秋天是一個寂寞的季節(jié)，生活索然無趣。這個季節(jié)的日子總是讓我感到沮喪。”我邊走邊想，吉他的聲音就像山中小溪的流水一樣，流入我的耳朵，我感到非常驚奇，于是跑去看個究竟。一個小女孩坐在草坪上，忘我地彈著吉他。她真是一個美麗的姑娘，尤其是當(dāng)她的長發(fā)隨著風(fēng)兒飛舞時。我好像從來沒有見過她。這音樂太吸引人了，我靜靜地聽了起來。

Lost in the music, I did not realize that I had been standing for so long. But my existence did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day when I passed by the lawn, I would see her playing her guitar. She was the only performer and I was the only audience. During the rest of the days in the season, life became interesting and I could review the courses carefully. Though we did not know each other, I thought we were always good friends.

沉醉在這個音樂世界中，我沒有意識到自己竟然站了那么久。但是，我的存在似乎并沒有打擾她。葉子仍在隨風(fēng)飄落。每天，當(dāng)我走過那片草坪時，都會看到她在那兒彈吉他。她是唯一的演奏者，而我是唯一的聽眾。于是，這個季節(jié)接下來的日子里，生活變得趣味盎然，我也能專心復(fù)習(xí)功課了。盡管我們互不相識，但我想我們已經(jīng)是好朋友了。

Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my astonishment, the girl came over to me.

秋季快過去了。有一天，正當(dāng)我陶醉在音樂聲中時，音樂聲戛然而止。出乎意料的是，這個女孩向我走過來了。

“You must like the music.” she said.

“你一定很喜歡音樂吧。”她說。

“Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.

“是的。你彈得真好。為什么停下來了？”我問。

Suddenly, a sad expression appeared on her face.

突然，她的臉上顯現(xiàn)出一抹悲傷的表情。

“I came here just to have a rest because I failed in the college entrance examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that encouraged me,” she said, “and I have to go tomorrow.”

“我只是來這里休息一段時間，因為我沒能通過大學(xué)入學(xué)考試。我感到非常失望，是你每一天都來聽我演奏，這鼓勵了我，”她說，“明天我就要走了。”

“In fact, it was your playing that gave me a meaningful autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.” I answered, “I think it was God who gave us the chance to know each other and we should be good friends.”

“事實上，是你的音樂給了我一個有意義的秋天，還幫助我相信我有能力通過研究生考試。”我回答道，“我認為是上帝給了我們相識的機會，我們應(yīng)該成為好朋友。”

She smiled and I smiled.

她笑了，我也笑了。

Since then, I have never seen her again. I no longer passed by that lawn. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the season and the girl. It was her appearance that helped me passed the Postgraduate Entrance Examination, though she only appeared a few days in my life.

從那以后，我再也沒有見過她。我不再經(jīng)過那片草地了。那里只留下了厚厚的葉子。但我會永遠銘記這個季節(jié)，還有那個女孩。是她的出現(xiàn)助我通過了研究生入學(xué)考試，盡管她只出現(xiàn)在我生命中的短短幾天里。

We may encounter many people in our lives. Some are like a shooting star, but give off so much light that they guide you in the correct direction; some are like clothes to you, they are always with you, but do not understand you. Just as a famous saying, many people step in your life, but only true friends leave footprints.

在我們的生活中，也許會遇到很多人。有些人就像一顆流星，卻發(fā)出足夠的光亮，指引你走向正確的方向；有些人就像你的衣服，雖然整日伴隨著你，卻不能理解你。正如一句名言，很多人走入你的生命，但是只有真正的朋友留下了烙印。

I shall always recall the autumn, the girl and the sound of her guitar. I know she will always be my best friend.

我會永遠記得那個季節(jié)，那個女孩以及她的吉他聲。我知道，她會是我永遠的好朋友。
