The Trees Outside My Window
佚名/Anonymous
透过我房间的窗子，可以看到一株高大的芙蓉树。它在春日的薄雾中若隐若现，红花点点，甚是迷人。它总能给我灵感，使我文思泉涌。我逐渐把它当成了最好的朋友。
然而，一天早晨，当我把窗子打开时，吃惊地发现前夜的那场风雨竟将芙蓉树吹打得落红满地。霎时，那种“花开终有落”的悲凉之感袭上心头，我不禁喟叹：人生之旅，总会有各种牵绊，曲折的经历总会伴随着我们。我曾多次承受与挚友离别的伤感，这随风而逝的花朵不正是脆弱生命的真实写照吗？
那天的感触随着时间的流逝在我的记忆中逐渐被淡忘。一天，我从乡下回到家中，觉得室内的空气令人窒息，便随手将窗子打开。眼前的景象顿时让我惊呆了。一棵李子树满树都开了火红的花朵，在落日余晖的映照下显得格外漂亮。这惊奇的发现让我兴奋不已。当初我为落红的芙蓉树悲伤时，却没想到那凄凉景象背后，竟会萌生出如此顽强的生命。
当最后一片枯萎的芙蓉花瓣飘落时，人们不再对它赞美欣赏。直到李子树成长起来，那火红的花儿向人们昭示着生命的更迭与繁衍。不能否认，生命原本就是一场得失共存的交响乐。
我站在窗前，不禁思绪万千。我意识到，生命中没什么恒久不变的风景，只要你的心永远朝着太阳，那么每一个清晨都会向你展现一番美景，等待你去欣赏——这个世界总会带给你新的希望。
From the window of my room， I could see a tall cotton-rose hibiscus. In spring， when green foliage was half hidden by mist， the tree looked very enchanting dotted with red blossom.This inspiring neighbor of mine often set my mind working.I gradually regarded it as my best friend.
Nevertheless， when I opened the window one morning， to my amazement， the tree was almost bare beyond recognition as a result of the storm ravages the night before. Struck by the plight， I was seized with a sudden saddens at the thought "all the blossom is doomed to fall".I could not help sighing with emotion：the course of life never runs smooth， for there are so many ups and downs， twists and turns.The vicissitudes of my life saw my beloved friends parting one after another.Is n't it similar to the tree shedding its flowers in the wind？
