西雅图的雨Rain in Seattle

英语美文诵读:I have a deep secret few people understand and even fewer like to share.
我有一个极少为人理解甚至无人愿意分享的秘密。

It’s time to tell the truth: I love the rain, deeply and passionately1 and more than the sun. At least I live in the right place, famous for its damp weather and its rain- forest. I can’t imagine living anywhere besides the Pacific northwest. The sun shines so rarely that my friends forget where they put their sunglasses. duanwenw.com The gloomy weather causes many people around here to suffer from seasonal and emotional disorder. Yet I welcome the rain.
现在应该说出来了:我爱雨,深情而热烈,甚至胜过对太阳的爱。最起码我住在适宜之地,英语短文这里因其潮湿的天气和雨林而出名。除了太平洋西北部,我想不出自己还能住在哪儿。阳光如此罕见,以至于我的朋友们都忘了把太阳镜放到哪里去了。阴郁的天气让很多在这儿生活的人都遭受季节和情绪波动的困扰。然而我却欢迎雨的到来。

People in Seattle will say they like the rain keeping the city green, and making the air clean afterwards. But I like the rain for purely selfish reasons. When it’s raining outside, I don’t have to do anything. I can spend the afternoon curled up reading, build a fire and make a big pot of tea. duanwenw.com I can sleep in late, waking up occasionally to hear the gentle patter on the roof. Nobody expects me to leave my house or do anything heavy. Maybe I’ll invite a few friends to watch an old movie or play a board game. My friends’ expectations are low, and easy to meet.
西雅图人会说他们喜欢雨使这个城市变绿,使空气变得清新。然而我喜欢雨的真正原因纯粹是出于自我考虑。外面下雨的时候,我可以什么都不干。整个下午蜷缩在家里看书,再生盆火,泡一大壶香茶。我可以睡到很晚,时而醒来倾听屋檐上柔和的拍打声。没人要我离开房子或去做一些繁重的事。也许我会邀上几个朋友看一部老电影,或者玩玩棋盘游戏。朋友的期望不高,极易满足。

Summer in Seattle is beautiful but exhausting. The sunny and blue skies draw people out from their cozy little homes to have fun. People go hiking, biking and canoeing.
西雅图的夏天如此美丽却令人疲惫不堪。晴朗而又蔚蓝的天空吸引着人们走出安逸舒适的小家去户外寻找乐趣。他们去远足、骑车或是划独木舟。力量、勇气和智慧是通过克服困难而获赠的礼物。感谢对你公正的人并与那些帮助你实现梦想的人为伍。众所周知,生活不易,但是人们一直努力地活得精彩。
