春游

The weather will get warmer with the coming of spring. People usually like to go for an outing at this time of the year.

随着春天的到来，天气渐渐变暖。人们通常喜欢在这个时间外出郊游作为春假。

Up to now, I still remember one of my spring outings, for it was a very interesting experience.

至今我仍记得其中一次很有趣的春游。

One weekend, my schoolmates and I decided to visit a famous mountain.

一天，我和同学决定在周末去爬山。

It was a bright and cheerful morning. We were singing and laughing all the way.

那是一个晴朗、令人愉快的早晨，我们又唱又笑，

Passing a large piece of green grassland at the foot of the mountain, we began to climb.

越过山脚下的大片草坪，我们开始爬山。

We could see many beautiful flowers and odd trees on the mountainside.

山坡上有许多漂亮的花和形状古怪的树木。

The mountain was quite high, but we finally reached the top. No sooner had we arrived at the top than it began to rain.

山挺高，但我们终于爬到了山顶。我们一到山顶，天就开始下雨。

From the mountaintop, we could get a bird's-eye view of the town. It looked so beautiful in the rain and mist.

从山顶上我们可以鸟瞰全城，雨雾中，城市是如此美丽，让我们感到自豪。

We also visited a temple there and had a talk with some monks,

我们还参观了一个庙宇，并与僧侣交谈，

who told us about the history of the temple and Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism.

他们给我们介绍了庙宇的历史和佛教创始人释加摩尼。

When it was getting dark we returned. Though I was tired that night, I was too excited to fall asleep.

天色渐晚，我们才返回。晚上虽然我很累，我却兴奋得无法入睡。
