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。
