雅思口语素材：诗人Longfellow笔下的初雪

　　诗人Longfellow笔下的初雪

　　The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves of the dead!

　　——American poet Henry W. Longfellow: First Snow

　　初雪

　　What silence, came with the snow, and what seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and musical. No more trampling hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of sleigh-bells, beating as swiftly and merrily as the hearts of children.

——新东方汪海涛
