It was my first visit to Hangzhou. In one and a half days, I hurried through more than ten scenic spots. The West Lake in spring is gracefully pleasant, its beauty unparallelled. Walking along the lake, I saw willows bowing in shiness. The water is so blue. The　pavilions　throw their shadows in the water. What is most impressive is the blooming peach flowers vying with each other in showing their beauty. The tea bushes, the screens and quiet bamboos are left in my memory.

 

　　這是我第一次來到杭州。在一天半的時間里，我匆匆參觀了十多個景點。春天里的西湖特別美麗，它的美麗無與倫比。沿著西湖走，我看到垂柳在陽光下發著綠瑩瑩的光，而湖水是那樣的藍。亭臺倒映在水面上。最令人印象深刻的是桃花盛開時競先展示他們的美麗。而茶樹叢中，樹叢和安靜的竹子都留在我的記憶里。

 

　　When I walked for half an hour in the sun and suddenly saw a stretch of bamboos I could not help crying out, "I'll　go and sit in there." After three hours' walk a murmuring stream came into my view. The water was clear and I could see through it to the bottom. The oval stones under the water were visible and even countable. I put my aching feet into the stream. Oh, the water was running across my feet. It was cool but not cold. I could not but admit that it was a most pleasant and comfortable moment.

 

　　當我在太陽底下走了半個小時后，突然見到一片竹子，我快要忍不住哭了出來，“我要去坐那里。”走了三個小時后，發出潺潺聲的河流闖入了我的視線。水很清，我都可以看到水底了。可以看到在水里橢圓形的石頭，甚至可以數出來。我把累到疼痛的腳放到水里。喔，水從我的腳邊流過。這是涼而不冰的水。我不得不承認這是最開心和舒適的時刻。

 

　　Life is just like a journey. What is more, you have to hurry on the way, braving the scorching sun and burdened with luggage, while crossing over the mountains and slopes. Then you　feel rewarded　by a short rest. If only I could walk less and rest more!

 

　　生活就像旅行。而且你要快點出發，頂著烈日、和背著行李，爬過高山、穿過斜坡。一個短暫的休息你都會覺得是獎賞，希望能少走點路多點休息!
