The Autumn Leaves

只是篇英语作文,本来只是想敷衍了事的,后来一个同学跟我说他想在有感觉的时候好好写,才觉得既然是练习,也应该好好把握才对。细想了一下作文要求,发现其实“Autumn Leaves”这个题目其实和我以前的思考靠得很近,就认认真真写了一篇,并作为我的思考发到了“随感”里。 

The Autumn Leaves
I love summer, love its enormous variety of colors. The colors, which burst out with the blooming flowers, wake the deepest feeling of happiness sleeping in our heart in everyday life. And that, I think, is why so many poets love writing about this flowery season, and all the flowers blooming like a dream. 

Yes, the blossom is just like a dream, a beautiful dream, but it is only a dream. And a dream is no more than a way we run away from the sorrow and agony of the real world. A dream is doomed to fade, just as a flower is doomed to lose all its grace and die. And when you realize that all is just the fantasy for a short time in consolation, what else can you feel but hopeless as you are pulled back to the cruel reality again? 

However, there are beauties which are not only fantasy. It's the beauty of the leaves, leaves in autumn. The autumn leaves contain within them the hope of red and scarlet splashed on a maple, the peace of light yellow and green displayed on the gingkoes and ever green trees, the ripeness and accomplishment of golden color hanging on the phoenix trees, and also the sorrow and hopeless of dark yellow and brown, which is scattered every where on the ground. 

And somehow it's just like the reality, which has in itself the beauty that makes us happy, as well as sorrow and agony to balance the heart and make it sensitive to the flash of the real beauty. Our minds are always blinded by agony to the beauties in our life, but the leaves, unlike the tricky dreams, inspire your of your sense, showing you that the pain and the happiness are blended so perfectly that one can even find happiness when suffering. The leaves in autumn show us the real happiness, and show us the way to face everyday life, not to slip away. 

Steping on the fallen leaves, smelling the freshened air in autumn, seeing the all encompassing scenery, have you been more clear in mind and more sensitive to just find the beauty hided in everyday routines, in real life?
