原文: 春天是如此短暂

      不管全球是变冷还是变暖，总之春天是越来越短了。

      一晃眼，三月就过去了，杨柳枝已经过了最佳的摄影时节，梅树也早是绿叶一片。阳台上的海棠憋了许久的花苞终于绽放，却被春雨淋褪了色。

      三月走了，四月来。而紧跟着，就是穿短袖擦防晒霜的季节了。

      风是香的，阳光温和而不带攻击性，一切似乎都笑盈盈的。就像办公室里新来的快活的年轻姑娘。

      过完年，我们搬到了这个没有窗户的泵站里，后现代工业式的办公环境让客人夸赞不已，而我们心里明白，我们失去了最后一点眺望春天的权利。

      午餐后，隔壁公司的几个年轻人习惯在太阳下踢毽子，就像一盆盆长期放置室内的植物，抓紧时间呼吸一些阳光。

      我羡慕他们，有时甚至想参与其中.但我总是很忙，忙到有时洗个苹果吃吃，也会心怀愧疚。

      有人享受春天，有人享受忙碌，有人享受夜晚的灯红酒绿，有人享受飚车到200码的速度……如果确实乐在其中，也就够了吧。因为每个人的春天，都是如此短暂。

译文: Spring Is So Short

No matter the globe is becoming cold or warming up, spring is getting shorter and shorter.
How time flies! March passed before we knew it. The willow branches have passed through the best photographic season. The plum trees have worn green leaves, too. In the balcony, the buds of the begonia finally opened after a long time, but their colors faded after being drenched with the spring rain.

April comes after March. But what comes on the heels of that is the season to wear short-sleeve shirts and anointed ourselves with sun cream.

The wind is fragrant. The sunlight is mild and not aggressive. Everything seems smiling, like the merry young girl who comes newly in the office.

After the lunar New Year, we moved to this pumping station without windows. The office environment of the post-modern industry style got the visitors’ compliment. But we understood at heart, we lost the last right to overlook the spring view.

After lunch, several young people working in the company next door have the habit of kicking shuttlecock in the sun. They are like the plants which have been put inside the room for long, making the best use of their spare time to absorb some sunlight.
