雨下得好大。雨聲裏我想起了布萊恩和湯姆，還有哥哥跟我一起在中國度過的數個寒冬。我突然想起來，美國和中國最大的節日都是在一年最冷的日子裏……
紅紅的火在壁爐裏從容地燃著。
The rain was now pouring down outside. Hearing the sound of water coming down I thought of Brian and Tom and I thought of the winters that Dakun and I had spent in China. Those cold days were on my mind and I wondered why the biggest holidays in the American and China both fell in the coldest season.
A fire was burning inside the fireplace as the music continued, “Joyful, Joyful…”
