學寫英文--上學路上的風景

前兩天veterans day所見的私家園林

二見啄木鳥

看到朋友圈裏的這張圖,我笑起來了。我又把這段話讀給兒子聽,兒子也嘎嘎大笑。可我把這些讀給一個朋友,她卻沒笑,說"傻瓜一個"。隻能說我的笑點太低了。

 

10/9/2020

早晨出門送孩子上學,在XXX 草坡下,那兩棵守望在路口的糖楓葉子變色了,被陽光映照著,它們呈現出一種鎏金色, 溢彩流光。兩群大雁排成人字形,嘎嘎嘎地叫著,從頭頂的天空飛過。上學的路上,也有幾多風景。

 

今早的陽光帶著橙,也帶著藕和,爛漫又溫馨,即使消極的人也會被這樣的陽光所感染,而心生出希望來。晚學校通報了一個月來的疫情。開學以來,全區小學,中學和高中各發現一例COVID19感染者,其中兩名老師,一名學生,而該學生是DISTANCE learning, 病毒的來源並非來自學校。這期間,有1/3 的學生上網課,2/3的選擇現場上課,有1/2選擇坐校車。全鎮共有28人感染,每萬人的感染比例為5.7人,根據鎮公眾健康部門的防疫指導—每萬人的感染率處於10人以下,傳播風險等級為低。

放下兒子,沿著一道長長的緩坡,駛離學校時,才想到高中坐落在一處地勢比周圍稍高些的坡上。坡下有條小溪,這個季節,雖沒有溪水輕流,但最近下過的幾場秋雨讓溪底再度滋潤起來。溪邊草青樹綠,與學校所屬的兩個運動場的草坪連成一片綠,我的眼睛迷失在這片綠色中,忘記了現在是秋季。

 

I drive my son to school. At the bottom corner of xxx Hill, the leaves in the two sugar maples have changed color. Against the rising sunlight, the metallic gold from the crown is absolutely glorious. In the sky, two groups of geese are flying in V formation with rhythmic “quack , quack, quack…”.  Talking with my boy and appreciation of the morning scenes in nature make the daily ride to school an enjoyable journey.   A good day starts from a good morning.  

The color of today’s morning sunshine is a lovely mix of orange with slight lavender, warm and brilliant. I strongly believe this beautiful dawn sunlight can repel any bad moods inside of us, revive the dying fire of hope.  In yesterday’s letter from school superintendent XXX, XXX announced the COVID-19 brief of school district during the past month since the school reopening in Fall.……

 

After dropping my son at school, I drive along the gently sloping road to leave. I start visualizing the HS’s location. The school is located on a gentle slopped hill, a stream at the bottom of the hill which I found this summer flows by to far like a jade blet. In the past two weeks, a few continuous fall rains have remoisturized the dry-up streambed and the surroundings. The greenness from the lush and verdant aquatic plants in the streambed and along the side stretch out to adjoin the two school sports turfs.  My eyes and my heart are Immersed in the greenness, I forget it is fall.
