Excerpt From Novel "Joshua And the Children"

Quiet lay upon the meadow like a soft, green blanket. The sun, a globe of molten gold ，shot laser beams across the fields and through the trees ,burning away the early morning mist. The valley began springing to life. Rusty hinges of cottage doors squeaked open as farmers and factory workers slipped out into the narrow alleys to begin another day. The air was fresh and cool. A new friendly voice broke the stillness. A rooster crowed in the distance. A lone horse’s hooves and wagon wheels clacked against the stone pavement. Peace reigned everywhere. If there were a heaven ,its beauty and peace could not surpass the serenity of its countryside.

在这考试挤满日程表的时候，闲下心来，读一读这英文的童话式的小说，真算得上是享受了。
早就发现了这样一个不得不承认的现实：虽然我们是大学英语专业的学生，在课内读的复杂文章不在少数，然而一旦失去了老师、辅导书的“搀扶”，我们在地道英文的阅读上还是很吃力。所以每次雄心勃勃从外文书库借来的外文原版书，到最后都是“完璧归赵”。所以，还不如借来这类写给孩子看的书来得实在，至少会去真正的读。
我把上面摘录的英文叫做“能够得着”的英文，这样的文章虽然看起来幼稚了点，低级了点，但它们能给我最大的进步！
