Outside His Window

他的窗外

He has a big window in his bedroom. His desk is in his bedroom. His desk is next to the big window. He sits at his desk. He looks east. He looks east toward the East River. The East River is about six blocks away. But he cannot see the East River. Buildings block his view. Buildings in New York City are like trees in a forest. They are everywhere. They are beautiful. They are all different. He can see about 13 different buildings. The farthest building is almost three blocks away. Most of the buildings are about 12 stories tall. Most of them are light brown or dirty white. But the tallest one is completely red. White smoke comes out of its top. It has no windows on its west side. The west wall is red bricks. Maybe red bricks are cheaper than glass windows. Maybe it's a prison.

他的卧室有一个大窗户。卧室里有一张桌子。桌子旁边是窗户。他坐在桌子上。他向东看。他向东看看见了东河。东河大约有6个街区远。但是，他看不见东河。建筑挡住了他的视线。纽约城的建筑就像是密林中的树木。它们无处不在。它们很美丽。各有不同。他能够看到13种不同的建筑。最远的一栋有将近3个街区。绝大多数建筑都有12层。绝大多数都是浅棕色或是污白色。但是，最高的那一栋是纯红色。白烟从建筑顶端飘出。西面没有窗户。东墙满是红砖。或许，红砖要比玻璃窗更便宜。这或许是监狱。
