精美英文欣赏:秋天的回忆

Welcome to autumn at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I'm Faith.

Autumn is easily my favorite time of the year. The days have cooled down, the leaves have turned yellow, and the world is busy preparing herself for winter. There's something magical about the clear brisk¹ days, the first smell of the woodstove or the fireplace², the first frost, the canning of the late fruits and vegetables, the pumpkin³ and cider stands on the roadways.

There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster⁴ in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen. Fallen leaves lying on the grass in the November sun bring more happiness than the daffodils. 

School has started, and there's newness in the air. Even though the season is the precursor⁵ to winter, somehow, the world knows that winter is necessary, and the long preparation for the cold of winter--the preparation that is autumn--is a beautiful, necessary part of the world.

欢迎来到Faith轻松电台和Faith一起回忆这个秋季。

秋季自然而然地成为我最喜欢的秋季。 气候开始变得凉爽，树叶变黄，整个世界正忙着为冬天做准备。 在这秋高气爽的日子里有某种神秘的魔力，壁炉里飘出的第一丝暖意，秋天来临的第一次寒意，成熟水果的罐头制造，以及堆放在路面上的南瓜，苹果酒。

秋天有一种和谐的美，天空也如此绚丽，经历了夏天，这种绚丽才被绽放了出来。落叶在十一月的阳光照射下撒在草地上，带给人们胜过水仙花的快乐。

学校已经开学，空气中带着一丝清新。尽管秋季是冬季的前奏，不知何故，整个世界都明晰冬天是必然的，因此秋季就是为严寒冬天所做的漫长的准备，而这正是这个世界美丽，必然的一部分。
