1、人间尽秋(AltogetherAutumn)陆谷孙译(仅用于学习研究)至IJ了栽种球茎植物的时候了。我却是能拖则拖,因为栽种球茎得在园篱处腾出空间,而此时篱上仍开看朵朵鲜花。把一年牛植物强行拔起,掐死造化恩赐的紫绛、橘黄和浅红这一片烂漫,阻断口然界的最后欢声,简直无弄于谋杀。所以我耍等待笫一个霜降Z夜,等待花瓣全部沾上一层冷冽的霜品,蒙无知觉中自行凋零,和婉地寿终正寝。我在园中徜徉,拿不定主意,只求留住残夏的最后儿天。Ittimetoplantthebulbs・ButIputitoffaslo

6、olorofasters,dahlias,sunflowersandroses-清晨时分,天气凛冽,到了夜晩,你打起了哆嗦,躺在床上双脚冰凉。但在正午时分,阳光拨开云层,将雾霭化作蒸气,在草地上升腾。蝴蝶和黄蜂开始出没,蛛网犹如丝带,挂在窗前闪出银光。树梢上和灌木从里凝结了整整一年的辛劳,浆果、毛栗、板栗和橡实等着收获归仓。Themorningsbeginchilly.Theeveningsgiveyoushiversandcoldfeetinbed.Butinthemiddleoftheday
