哥伦布英语 第 76 课：Snow 雪

Have you ever seen snow? A lot of people in the world have not. 你看见过雪吗？世界上有很多人都没有见过。

A lot of countries never have snow — or have it only on the tops of very high
mountains. 许多国家从来不下雪——或者只有在很高的山顶上有雪。

In Canada there is quite a lot of snow every winter, but in the southern US there is usually very little. 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, 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，

he feels cold at first, and most students from warm countries do not like this.
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.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。

He thinks, "Is it so late?"and jumps out of bed, but no, it is not very late. 他会想，“天很晚了吗？”然后跳下床，可是不对，并不是很晚。

He looks out the window — and there is snow, on the ground and everywhere. 他朝窗外看去—是雪，地上是雪，到处都是雪。

The light in his room came from that smooth, clean, beautiful white snow. 原来他房间里的光亮来自光滑、干净、美丽的白雪。
