I live in a boarding-house during the school year. My room is rather large, but I share it with another boarder.
It’s already November, but the autumn flowers are still in bloom. Just yesterday, I saw some lovely red blossoms along the roadside. These blessed flowers were perfect. They didn’t have a single blemish. Seeing these flowers in the fall created a feeling of bliss. I had no idea that it would be the last I’d see of them.
Yesterday, my roommate had told me that there would be a blizzard today. He’s always boasting that he knows the weather. I though it was just a bluff to get me to stay home from school. I was rather blunt in my reply.
However, I blushed when I looked out of the window this morning and saw that he was right. I had to blink my eyes several times just to be sure. An overnight storm had bleached 9 the ground with seventeen inches of snow. Because the roads were blocked by the snowfall, I wouldn’t be able to board my usual bus to school. My outlook seemed rather bleak.
Then my roommate said, “Hey, you really need to take a break from your studies. Why don’t you just rest your brain, blend some fruit drinks, and listen to blues music?”
“It’s true, I’m probably in need of a rest, ” I replied.
Well, it turned out to be the most relaxing day I’ve had all year. I guess the sudden storm was really a blessing in disguise!
我读书时住在一栋寄宿公寓，房间颇大，但我得跟另一个寄宿者合住。
已是深秋十一月，但花儿依然盛开。就在昨天，我还在路旁看到了几朵美丽的红花。这些赏心悦目的花儿真美，它们没有一处瑕疵。能在秋天看到这些花儿让我一阵狂喜，我并不知道这将是我最后一次看到他们。
昨天，我的室友告诉我今天会有暴风雪。他总是吹牛，说自己能预知天气。我想这不过是虚张声势，想让我逃课。我的回答相当直言不讳。
然而，今天早晨我朝窗外望去，不禁脸红了：他居然说准了。我使劲眨了几下眼睛，才确信没有弄错。一夜的风雪把大地给漂白了，地上的积雪深达17英寸。由于下雪，道路被阻断，我也没法乘班车上学了，前景惨淡。
这时我的室友说道：“喂，你真该歇歇了，别老是学习。你干嘛不休息一下大脑、调点果汁、听点蓝调音乐呢？”
“是啊，我也许需要休息一下了。”我回答到。
这样，我度过了一年中最放松的一天。我猜这场突然的暴风雪貌似灾祸，实则是福啊！
