济南的冬天

Winter in Jinan

对于一个在北平住惯的人,像我,冬天要是不刮大风,便是奇迹;济南的冬天是没有风声的。对于一个刚由伦敦回来的人,像我,冬天要能看得见日光,便是怪事;济南的冬天是响晴的。自然,在热带的地方,日光是永远那么毒,响晴的天气反有点叫人害怕。可是,在北中国的冬天,而能有温晴的天气,济南真得算个宝地。

For someone like me who is used to living in Beiping,a winter without any wind is a bit of a miracle.Well,one never hears any whistling winter winds in Jinan.For someone like me who has just returned from London,sunshine in the winter seems quite unusual.Well,Jinan has bright sunny winter weather.I know that in tropical regions,the blazing sun and the perpetual harsh glare can be intimidating,but here in north China,a mild sunny winter season is a boon that makes Jinan a very special place indeed.
