摘要
商店橱窗被冬季连帽外套占据了主要位置。沁凉、刺骨的冷风吹过圣劳伦斯河。树木正迅速变色。在法布里克街上,我穿着不够保暖的雨衣和毛呢夹克匆匆走过一家皮货服装商店。在这个短暂的秋季,北美最有欧洲风味的城市绽放出活力十足的光彩。市政厅装饰着巨型南瓜。细长的天竺葵在花盆里奄奄一息。
Shop windows are dominated by winter parkas. A cool, bitter wind blows off the St. Lawrence River. The trees are turning quickly now. On Fabrique Street, I hurry past a fur store with my inadequate raincoat and fleece. In this brief season, fall, North America's most European city glows with brisk vitality.
