Autumn is my favorite
season,and it is the fascinating autumn that makes
up for
the wet sky is clear and the
air is crisp in this beautiful frosts
put on their sober brown and
yellow,while some trees are nipped by the forsts
into
brilliant
dyes
of
orang,purple
and
small
birds
with
its
red-tipped
wings
and
yellow-tipped
tail
are
fluttering,chirping
and
frolicking
to
have
their
farewell
banquets.
When
sun
is
setting,spiling
gold
light
on
the
charming
forests,golden-edged
clouds
are
rolling
the
twilight
the
rosy
clouds
are
gorgeous,which
reminds
me of the deep orange sea is blend with
the melon yellow sky in the horizon.
All of those scenes consists of a
bewitching picture which delights the eye.
秋日掠影
It
was,
as
I
have
said,
a
fine
autumnal
day,
the
sky
was
clear
and
serene,
and
naturethat
rich
and
olden
livery
which
we
always
associate
with
the
idea
of
abund(wore) ance. The forests had put
on their sober brown and yellow, while some
trees of the tendered kink had been
nipped by the frosts into brilliant dyes of
orange,
purple
and
scarlet.
Streaming
files
of
wild
ducks
began
to
make
their
appearance
high in the air;
the bark of the squirrel might be heard from the
groves of beach and
hickory nuts, and
the pensive whistle of the quail at intervals from
the neighboring
stubble-field.
The small birds were taking
their farewell banquets. In the fullness of their
revelry,
they fluttered, chirping and
frolicking, from bush to bush, and tree to tree,
capricious
from the very profusion and
variety around them. There was the honest cock-
robin
the
favorite
game
of
stripling
sportsmen,
with
its
loud
querulous
note;
and
the
twittering
blackbirds
flying
the
sable
clouds;
and
the
golden-winged
woodpecker,
with his crimson crest, his broad black
gorget, and splendid plumage; and the cedar
bird, with its red-tipped wings and
yellow-tipped tail, and its little monteiro cap of
feathers;
and
the
blue-jay,
that
noisy
coxcomb,
in
his
gay
lightblue
coat
and
white
under-clothes;
screaming
and
chattering,
nodding
and
bobbing
and
bowing,
and
pretending to be on good terms with
every songster of the grove.

Valley at
Sunset
山谷夕照
The set was setting,
spilling gold light on the low western hills of
Rathlin Island. A
small boy walked
jauntily along a hoof-printed path that wriggle
between the folds of
these
hills
and
opened
out
into
a
crater-like
valley
on
the
cliff-top.
Presently
he
stopped
as
if
remembering
something,
then
suddenly
he
left
the
path
and
began
running
up one of the hills. When he reached the top he
was out of breath and stood
watching
streaks
of
light
radiating
from
golden-edged
clouds,
the
scene
reminding
him of a picture
he had seen of the Transfiguration. A short
distance below him was
the cow standing
at the edge of a reedy lake. Colm ran down to meet
her vaving his
stick in the air, and
the wind rumbling in his ears made him give an
exultant whoop
which splashed upon the
hills in a shower of echoed sound. A flock of
gulls lying on
the short grass near the
lake rose up languidly, drifting like blown
snowflakes over
the rim of the cliff.
The lake faced west and was
fed by a stream, the drainings of the semi-
circling
hills.
One
side
was
open
to
the
winds
from
the
sea
and
in
winter
a
little
outlet
trickled over the cliffs making a black
vein in their gray sides. The boy lifted stones
and began throwing them into the lake,
weaving web after web on its calm surface.
Then he skimmed the water with flat
stones, some of them jumping the surface and
coming to rest on the other side. He
was delighted with himself and after listening to
his echoing shouts of delighted he ran
to fetch his cow. Gently he tapped her on the
side and reluctantly she went towards
the brown-mudded path that led out of the
valley. The boy was about to throw a
final stone into the lake when a bird flew low
over his head, its neck astrain, and
its orange-colored legs clear in the soft light.
It
was a wild duck. It circles the lake
twice, thrice, coming lower each time and then
with
a
nervous
flapping
of
wing
it
skidded
along
the
surface,
its
legs
breaking
the
water into a series of silvery arcs.
Its wings closed, it lit silently, gave a slight
shiver,
and began pecking indifferently
at the water.
