A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
冬天
Winter
I bring a poofy gray down jacket with me wherever I go. It's meant for winter, but I use it most in the summer, when everyone cranks up the air-conditioning.
无论我去哪里,我都会带一件灰色羽绒服。它是冬天用的,但我在夏天用得最多,那时每个人都把空调开大。
All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar.
整个漫长的冬天,我梦想着我的花园。在春天的第一天,我把手指深深地挖进松软的泥土里。我能感觉到它的能量,我的精神高涨。
I like cool jackets - a nice fall or winter coat. You can get a lot of use out of it, and you'll wear it frequently, so it can really set the tone of your uniform for the season.
我喜欢凉爽的夹克——一件漂亮的秋冬季大衣。你可以从中得到很多好处,你会经常穿它,所以它真的可以为你这个季节的制服定下基调。
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.
我更喜欢冬天和秋天,当你感受骨结构的风景——寂寞的它,死亡的感觉的冬天。有些东西在它下面等待着,整个故事并没有展现出来。
Although farming of any sort was almost as impossible in the plains as in the dry regions of winter rains farther west, the abundance of buffaloes made life much easier in many respects.
尽管平原上的农业几乎和西部干旱地区的冬雨一样不可能,但大量的水牛使生活在许多方面变得容易得多。
Global trade has advantages. For starters, it allows those of us who live through winter to eat fresh produce year-round. And it provides economic benefits to farmers who grow that food.
全球贸易具有优势。首先,它让我们这些熬过冬天的人全年都能吃到新鲜农产品。它为种植这种食物的农民提供了经济利益。
I stood beside a hill Smooth with new-laid snow, A single star looked out From the cold evening glow. There was no other creature That saw what I could see -- I stood and watched the evening star As long as it watched me.
我站在小山旁边 新下的雪很光滑, 一颗星星向外望去 从寒冷的晚霞中。 没有别的动物 这就是我能看到的 我站着看昏星 只要它看着我。
In the summer you want fresh, light and sort of quick things; in winter you want things that are comforting, so your body really tells you you want to go towards potatoes, apples, fennel, things that are warm and comforting. And loin of pork.
在夏天,你想要新鲜、轻而快的东西;在冬天,你想要舒服的东西,所以你的身体告诉你,你想要土豆、苹果、茴香,那些温暖舒适的东西。还有猪腰肉。
Working is bad enough in the winter, but in the summer it can become completely intolerable. Stuck in airless offices, every fibre of our being seems to cry out for freedom. We're reminded of being stuck in double maths while the birds sing outside.
在冬天工作已经够糟糕的了,但到了夏天就完全无法忍受了。被困在没有空气的办公室里,我们的每一根神经似乎都在呼喊着自由。当鸟儿在外面唱歌的时候,我们就会想起自己被困在双解数学题里。

Because men do not like the cold, Heaven does not cause winter to cease.
因为人不喜欢寒冷,所以天不会使冬天停止。
