</p> I live in a boarding-house during the school year. My room is rather large, but I share it with another boarder.
( j0 h2 s7 Y' v0 E$ p; F It’s already November, but the autumn flowers are still in bloom. Just yesterday, I saw some lovely red blossoms along the roadside. These blessed flowers were perfect. They didn’t have a single blemish. Seeing these flowers in the fall created a feeling of bliss. I had no idea that it would be the last I’d see of them. 8 F* E( _3 g, P- v4 t0 X& r
Yesterday, my roommate had told me that there would be a blizzard today. He’s always boasting that he knows the weather. I though it was just a bluff to get me to stay home from school. I was rather blunt in my reply. 5 Y$ `2 I+ }5 ]4 T1 O3 y1 Q) N5 k
However, I blushed when I looked out of the window this morning and saw that he was right. I had to blink my eyes several times just to be sure. An overnight storm had bleached the ground with seventeen inches of snow. Because the roads were blocked by the snowfall, I wouldn’t be able to board my usual bus to school. My outlook seemed rather bleak. 7 M' [4 _8 L7 ^7 q' ]! s
Then my roommate said, “Hey, you really need to take a break from your studies. Why don’t you just rest your brain, blend some fruit drinks, and listen to blues music?”

这时我的室友说道：“喂，你真该歇歇了，别老是学习。你干嘛不休息一下大脑、调点果汁、听点蓝调音乐呢？”! `3 m" T! _/ L: h8 K+ f$ x
“是啊，我也许需要休息一下了。”我回答到。5 Q( F: `; W* g4 u5 v1 u" p9 X
这样，我度过了一年中最放松的一天。我猜这场突然的暴风雪貌似灾祸，实则是福啊 |
