三、Autumn
Autumn is easily my favorite time of the year. The days have cooled down, the leaves have turned yellow, and the world is busy preparing herself for winter. There's something magical about the clear brisk days, the first smell of the woodstove or the fireplace, the first frost, the canning of the late fruits and vegetables, the pumpkin and cider stands on the roadways.
There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen. Fallen leaves lying on the grass in the November sun bring more happiness than the daffodils.
School has started, and there's newness in the air. Even though the season is the precursor to winter, somehow, the world knows that winter is necessary, and the long preparation for the cold of winter--the preparation that is autumn--is a beautiful, necessary part of the world. 词汇；
cool down 变得凉爽 woodstove 木材炉子 fireplace 壁炉 something magical ['mædʒɪk(ə)l] 奇异的/美妙的/魔法的东西 brisk [brɪsk] （天气）清新凉爽的 frost [frɒst] 寒霜 canning 装罐头/制罐头 cider ['saɪdə] 苹果酒
harmony ['hɑːmənɪ] 和谐 luster ['lʌstə]光 亮/绚丽 daffodils ['dæfədil] 黄水仙 fallen ['fɔːl(ə)n] leaves 落下的叶子 newness ['nju:nis] 新鲜感、清新 precursor [prɪ'kɜːsə]先导/先驱 somehow 不知怎么的/由于某种不明原因 译 文：
秋季自然而然地成为我最喜欢的秋季。 气候开始变得凉爽，树叶变黄，整个世界正忙着为冬天做准备。 秋高气爽的日子，木材炉或壁炉里飘出的第一丝暖意，秋天的第一次寒霜，成熟水果蔬菜的罐头制 造，堆放在路面上的南瓜和苹果酒等都有着某种奇幻魔力。
秋天有一种和谐的美，天空也如此绚丽，经历了夏天，这种绚丽才被绽放了出来。落叶在十一月的阳光照射下撒在草地上，带给人们胜过 水仙花的快乐。
学校已经开学，空气中带着一丝清新。尽管秋季是冬季的前奏，不知何故，整个世界都明晰冬天是必然的，因此秋季就是为严寒冬天所做的漫长的准备，而这正是这个世界美丽，必然的一部分。
四、Love your mother

Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, she may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!
Your mother will be there for you; to listen to your woes your brags your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself “Have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her ‘blues’ of working in the kitchen, her tiredness?”
Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect, though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.

你的妈妈始终陪伴你身边，听你倾诉伤心事，听你神吹海侃，听你诉说受挫的沮丧……扪心自问，“是否曾经抽出过足够的时间陪伴她，听听她讲围着灶台转的‘烦心事’，听听她讲她有多疲惫？”
即使你与她意见不一，也要委婉一些，充满爱心，对她表示出应有的尊敬。一旦她去了，剩下的就只有对过去岁月的美好回忆和无尽的遗憾。

Forgive me this time, and I will never forget it. A day may come when I may be able to do something for you to repay your kindness.\" The lion smiled at the mouse's fright and laughed at the thought that so small a creature could ever help him, but he let the mouse go.
Not long after this, the lion was caught in a hunter's net. The angry lion let out a roar that could be heard far and wide throughout the forest. Even the mouse heard it. He knew it was the voice of the lion. He recalled that the lion had been merciful to him then. So he ran to the place where the lion lay caught in the net of ropes.

在这之后不久，狮子被猎人的网套住了。愤怒的狮子发出嚎叫声，整个森林都能听到，甚至连老鼠都听到了。他知道这是狮子的声音。他想起狮子曾经对他很仁慈。所以他跑到狮子被绳网套住的地方。他对狮子说：“狮子大王，现在是我报答你的时候了。”
