A:In spring, people are feeling refreshed. They take off their heavy winter clothes and walk with a straight back and light steps. They feel they are full of spirits and energy.
春天,人们感到心情振奋,他们脱掉笨重的冬衣,走起路来腰杆挺直、步履轻盈。他们感到精力充沛、情绪高涨。
B:Women in particular. They are anxious to get rid of those thick and clumsy winter suits and put on their new fashionable spring dress.
尤其是女士们,她们急不可待地甩掉又厚又重的棉衣,穿上款式新潮的春装。
A:Well, when summer comes, the weather is hot and the leaves turn darkgreen;the sun is blazing and the air is threatening. No one would like to stay in the open air for long.
唔,到了夏季,天气炎热,树叶变成了深绿色;太阳烤人,热气难忍,没有人愿意到户外去。
B:That's true. In summer, the first place people want to go is a spacious room with air-conditioning or a quiet river or swimming pool.
不错。在夏天,人们最愿意去的地方是带空调的宽敞房间,或者是荫凉平静的小河或游泳池。
A:I myself like very much to listen to the singing of some of the insects, especially the singing of cicadas.
我很喜欢听夏天里的一些昆虫的欢歌,特别是知了的唱歌声。
B:In autumn, almost all fruits are ripe and all crops are waiting to be harvested.
在秋季,差不多所有的果实都已成熟,所有的庄稼都在等待着收割。
A:And you can hear singing and laughing everywhere! People are happy in autumn because autumn brings them harvest and richness and prosperity!
而且到处都能听到欢歌笑语声!秋天里人们欢欣喜悦,因为秋天给人们带来了丰收、富足和兴旺!
B:Well, winter is a season for relaxation, do you agree with me?
唔,冬天是人们放松一下的季节,你同意吗?
A:Well, it's hard to say. For the fields and rivers, winter is a relaxing season,but for farmers, I think they might take a rest physically, but mentally they are still busy thinking, planning and calculating for the working of the next year.
唔,这很难说。冬天对于田野和河流来说,是一个放松休息的季节,可是对于农民来说,我想,他们可能在体力上要放松一下,可是在他们的头脑却仍然在忙于思考、盘算和计划下一年的工作。
B:Maybe you are right.
也许你是对的。
