007．Aug'ust八月（节选一）
     -by Charles Dickens查尔斯・狄更斯

八月，渐入初秋，秋日高悬，秋风飒爽，秋果飘香，还有为丰收而欢歌的人们。查尔斯B狄更斯为我们描述了一幅，八月风光里农田上一片繁忙的盛况。

[00:08.56]There is no month in the whole year, in which naturc wears a more beautiful appearance than in the month of August.
[00:16.57]Spring has many beauties, and May is a fresh and blooming month, but the charms of this time of year are enhanced by their contrast with the wintcr season. 
[00:26.79]August has no such advantage. It comes when we remember nothing but clear skies, green fields, and sweet-smelling flowers-when the recollection of snow,
[00:37.68]and ice, and bleak winds, has faded from our minds as completely as they have disappeared from the earth - and yet what a pleasant time it is!
[00:47.84]Orchards and cornfields ring with the hum of labours;trees bend beneath the thick clusters of rich fruit which bow their branches to the ground; 
[00:57.20]and the corn, piled in graceful sheaves, or waving in every light breath that sweeps above it, as if it wooed the sickle, tinges the landscape with a golden hue.
[01:08.74]A mellow softness appears to hang over the whole earth; the influence of the season seems to extend itself to the very wagon,
[01:19.21]whose slow motion across the well-reaped field, is perceptible only to the eye, but strikes with no harsh sound upon the ear.
一年之中，没有哪一个月的自然风光能比八月的风采还要美妙。春天美不胜收，而五月也是一个万物复苏，春暖花开的月份，由于有冬季的对比，所以每年的此刻更显得魅力四射。八月就没有这样的优势。当八月来临的时候，我们只记得万里无云的天空，碧波荡漾的田野，还有芬芳四溢的花朵――关于冰雪与寒风的记忆从脑海中渐渐消失，仿佛它们在地球上已失去了踪迹――然而八月是多么愉快的季节啊！果园和麦田到处都洋溢着劳动人民的歌声；串串硕果压得果树都弯下了腰，枝条低垂到地面；还有玉米，有的一捆捆优雅的堆在一起，有的则迎着微风招展，仿佛等待收割，它们给这景致染上了一抹淡淡的金黄色。整个大地似乎笼罩着醇美的柔和；季节的影响，似乎延伸至那辆马车，它缓慢地越过收割好的田地，这一切只有用肉眼才察觉得到，耳朵却听不到刺耳的声音。
