原文及其翻译

Snow

Have you ever seen snow? A lot of people in the world have not. A lot of countries never have snow — or have it only on the tops of very high mountains. In Canada there is quite a lot of snow every winter, but in the southern US there is usually very little.

你看见过雪吗？世界上有很多人都没有见过。许多国家从来不下雪——或者只有在很高的山顶上有雪。在加拿大，每个冬天都下很多雪，但美国南部通常很少下雪。

When a student from a warm country like Vietnam comes to Canada in the autumn for the first time, he feels cold at first, and most students from warm countries do not like this.

当一个来自像越南这样温暖的国家的学生在秋天第一次到加拿大时，他首先感觉到的就是寒冷，而大多数来自温暖国家的学生不喜欢这么冷的天气。

 

Snow is different. Although it is very cold, it is also very beautiful.

雪就不同。虽然雪很冷，但是很漂亮。

Perhaps, after several dark mornings, the student wakes up one day, and there is a lot of light in his room. He thinks, 'Is it so late?' and jumps out of bed, but no, it is not very late. He looks out the window — and there is snow, on the ground and everywhere. The light in his room came from that smooth, clean, beautiful white snow.

 也许，在几个阴沉的早晨之后，有一天，学生醒来时房间里很亮。他会想，“天很晚了吗？”然后跳下床，可是不对，并不是很晚。他朝窗外看去—是雪，地上是雪，到处都是雪。原来他房间里的光亮来自光滑、干净、美丽的白雪。
