一场大雨(A Heavy Rain)

　　一场大雨

　　那是6月初的一天早上，我乘汽车去郊区的学校上课，学校四周是稻田和鱼塘。天空是灰色的，在遥远的东方地平线上有阴云在慢慢汇聚。我心想： 要下大雨了。

　　当我匆忙走进教室时，原本灰色的天空已被黑云笼罩，像黄昏。我感到气闷，而周围一切都很静，没有任何声音，没有风。我看到树叶和草一动不动，像等着什么事情发生。几分钟之后，我看到闪电撕开云层，听到随之而来的雷声。突然，大雨倾盆，风也起了。草在风雨中倒伏。随着雨下成了雾状，天空开始放亮，我深吸了几口气，舒服多了。

　　大雨下了三个小时，下课的时间停了，空气那么新鲜，天气那么晴朗，我感觉像换了一个人。

　　a heavy rain

　　that was a morning in the early of june. i took a bus to my school in the suburb which was surrounded by rice paddies and ponds. the sky was gray with the gloomy clouds congregating gradually along the far eastern horizon. there must be a heavy rain soon. i spoke to myself.

　　when i hurried into the classroom, the sky, gray before, was shrouded now by black clouds, darken to twilight, i felt quite stuffy, while it was quite calm, without wind. i saw the leaves of trees and grass static, which seem to await something tohappen. several minutes later, i saw the lightening split the clouds and heard the thunders following. suddenly, the curtain of rain fell and the wind blew. soon the grass flattened under the wind and the rain. with the rain forming like a fog, the sky became bright. i took several deep breathes. i felt comfortable.

　　the heavy rain lasted three hours and stopped when the class was over. the air was so fresh and the sky was so clear. i felt like a new man myself.
