A Little Garden
I was attracted by the scenery out of the window the first day I came to my dormitory and since then it has become my hab it to sit by the window and enjoy the wonderful scenery. Every time my roommates see me absorbed in it, they shake their heads, puzzled. To them, there is nothing more than a deserted piece of grassland outside the window. But it is their misfortune to fail to find the wonder and the beauty.
The little garden, as I name it, is fenced at one end by the school wall and at the other by our five storied dormitory building. A couple of tropical trees stand straight at the corner. Such is the small but lovely garden. I like sitting in my chair by the window and looking at it affectionately. It takes on new appearances in different seasons, so I never feel bored.
The garden looks very poor in winter. The grass has withered and the bare trees stand lonely in the chilly wind. But when spring comes, the trees are decorated by greenish new leaves and the grassland is dotted with small white flowers. One afternoon after many days＇rain, under the blue sky with some drifting clouds, some students are lying on the grass, enjoying the sun shine. I am glad to find someone else to appreciate this place.
But my favorite moment is at night. After a whole day＇s hard work, I throw myself into the window chair. Breathing the fresh air, feeling the soft breeze, and listening to the leaves rustling, I feel refreshed. The whole world seems ready to sleep,and my little garden is dozing off. I enjoy this peaceful moment and gain release for my thoughts.
Perhaps the small garden has something deeper that arouses my admiration. It is deserted but it has never abandoned itself.It is not taken care of but it takes care of itself. It suffers the sweltering heat and freezing cold but never yields to all the hardships.
簡 評
本文描寫了作者窗前一塊不為人知的草地，稱之為“小花園”。作者的“小花園”中沒有奇花異草，只有一塊草地，角落中長著幾棵熱帶樹木，但作者卻感受到了其樸素的美。寒冷的冬天，草木凋零；春天來臨，小花園中充滿了生命的氣息：嫩綠的樹木，點綴著小白花，藍天白云之下，一些學生躺在草地上享受陽光。作者重點描寫了小花園的夜景，呼吸著新鮮的空氣，感受著清風拂面，作者感到重新精神煥發。
文章最后一段點明主題，說明作者喜愛“小花園”的原因在于其頑強的生命力，在惡劣的環境中仍自強不息。文章寄情于景，立意深刻。
文章文筆流暢，雖然沒有什么華麗的辭藻，樸素的語言非常清新自然，如the trees are decorated by greenis hnew leaves and the grassland is dotted with small white flowers；under the blue sky with some drifting clouds；my little garden is dozing off，讀來令人處處感受到生活的氣息。
