櫻桃樹(shù)-The Cherry Tree
The Cherry Tree
One afternoon, a close friend of mine came up to me excitedly:
"Julia, don＇t you know that there＇s a cherry tree in our school?"
"A cherry tree? Really? Where?"
Cherry trees were so scarce that I had only seen them in the film "Romantic Cherry".
"In Xi Garden. Hurry! Let＇s go and see it!"
I dropped my book and followed my friend out of the class
As soon as I stepped into Xi Garden, I began seeking the precious "pink" eagerly. And ho, there it was! In the distance,several pink "clouds" were floating above a small pavilion. That was it! My cherry tree!
We quickened our steps. Little by little, the gossamer like pink "clouds" grew bigger and bigger and at last seemed to occupy the blue sky when we were just standing under the cherry, on a small slope. Beneath my feet, the soil was covered by fallen petals. What a wonderful experience! Stretching my arms widely, I felt as if flying in the air weightlessly in the world of pink.
When a gentle breeze passed by, hundreds of petals parachuted down. They danced and whirled beautifully in the air and blurred my vision. The petals were so light that it took them some time to fall down onto the ground or into the pool.
The petals lying on the ground joined their brothers and sisters to extend a pink carpet while those floating on the water were setting out on a mysterious journey.
"I surely will be sorry when all of the petals have fallen down." My friend said woefully.
"No. Although they have left their home and have been separated from each other, they are still happy and composed and try to do their best where God place them." I said to myself,firmly and hopefully.
簡(jiǎn) 評(píng)
本文描寫(xiě)了櫻桃樹(shù)開(kāi)花的美景和作者喜悅的心情。呈現(xiàn)在作者眼前的是一個(gè)粉紅色的世界：頭頂上漂浮著粉紅色的“云彩”，腳下粉紅色的花瓣覆蓋著大地。作者對(duì)花瓣飄落的描寫(xiě)非常精彩：hundreds“petals parachuted down;They danced and whirled beautifully Intheair，使讀者仿佛身臨其境。在作者筆下，這些花瓣都有了生命的靈氣：落在地上的花瓣合力展開(kāi)一塊粉色的地毯，而落在水中的花瓣開(kāi)始了它們的神秘之旅。
最后一段點(diǎn)明了作者對(duì)落花紛紛的理解：不管身處何地，都要力求做的最好。這一理解非常富有哲理，令人不禁想起了“落花不是無(wú)情物，化作春泥更護(hù)花”的詩(shī)句。
