第29章 窗外的风景

    The Trees Outsides My Window

    窗外的风景

    Anonymous/佚名

    From the window of my room，I could see a tall cotton-rose hibiscus.In spring，when green foliage was half hidden by mist，the tree looked very enchanting dotted with red blossom.This inspiring neighbor of mine often set my mind working.I gradually regarded it as my best friend.

    Nevertheless，when I opened the window one morning，to my amazement，the tree was almost bare beyond recognition as a result of the storm ravages the night before.Struck by the plight，I was seized with a sudden saddens at the thought“all the blossom is doomed to fall”.I could not help sighing with emotion：the course of life never runs smooth，for there are so many ups and downs，twists and turns.The vicissitudes of my life saw my beloved friends parting one after another.Isn’t it similar to the tree shedding its flowers in the wind？

    This event faded from my memory as time went by.One day after I came home from the countryside，I found the room stuffy and casually opened the window.Something outside caught my eye and dazzled me.It was a plum tree all scarlet with blossom set off beautifully by the sunset.The surprise discovery overwhelmed me with pleasure.I wondered why I had no idea of some unyielding life sprouting over the fallen petals when I was grieving for the hibiscus.

    从我房间的窗子向外望去，可以看到一株高大的芙蓉树。春日里，芙蓉树在薄雾中若隐若现，红花点点．样子实在迷人。它总会赋予我灵感，让我思如泉涌。时间久了，我竞把这株芙蓉树视为知己了。

    然而，一天清晨，当我推开窗子时，愕然发现前夜的一场风雨已将它摧残得落红满地。刹那间，我有一种“花开终有落”的悲凉感觉。这使我不由得发出一声慨叹：人生的旅程中，总是少不了种种羁绊，那些曲折的经历总会伴随着我们。我曾无数次失去挚爱的朋友，生命的脆弱不正是像这随风而逝的花儿吗？

    随着时间的流逝，我渐渐地把那天的感触淡忘了。一次，我从乡下回来后．感到屋内的空气有些沉闷，于是我在不经意间打开了窗户。可就在那一瞬，我被眼前的景象惊呆了。窗外，一株李子树开花了，火红火红的花朵，满树都是。在夕阳的映衬下，分外美丽。这意外的惊喜让我兴奋不已。没想到当初自己只顾悲伤，却没发现在那凄凉的景象背后，竟孕育着如此坚强的生命。

    When the last withered petal dropped，all the joyful admiration for the hibiscus sank into oblivion as if nothing was left，until the landscape was again ablaze with the red plum blossom to remind people of life‘s alternation and continuance.Can’t it be said that life is actually a symphony，a harmonious composition of loss gain.

    Standing by the window lost in thought for a long time，I realized that no scenery in the world remains unchanged.As long as you keep your heart basking in the sun，every dawn will present a fine prospect for you to unfold and the world will always be bringing about new hopes.

    是啊，当芙蓉的最后一片花瓣凋落之时，人们以往对它的赞许都已成为过眼云烟。可如今，李子树却成长起来了，那火红的花儿正向人们昭示着生命的更迭与繁衍。谁能否认生命原本就是一场得失共存的交响乐呢？

    我久久地伫立窗前，深深感悟到，生命之中本没有一成不变的风景，只要你的心永远向着太阳，那么每一个清晨就会向你展现出一个等待着由你来开启的美景。不管你正经历着怎样的风雨，请相信，这个世界总会带给你新的希望。（未完待续）
