Snow Is Falling

Snow ls Falling

下雪了

Night has come and snow is falling. It is quiet. The snowfalls without a sound. Look at the streetlight. The snow isfaling in front of it. It may fall all night.

夜晚来临的时候下雪了。安安静静的，雪落下来一点儿声音都没有。 瞧，街灯前,雪纷纷飘落,也许会下上一整夜。

The snow may fall all day. The snow gets deeper anddeeper. Lawns are white. Trees are white, and so arethe roofs of houses. Everything is covered. Everythingis white. Everything is quiet and cold.

雪也可能会下一整天。雪越积越深，草坪白了，树木白了，屋顶也白了， 所有的一切都覆盖着白雪，变成了白色的，冷冷的，静静的。

It is always cold when snow falls. It is so cold thatwater vapor freezes in the air. This makes snowflakes. Let a snowflake fall on your mitten. Sometimes snowflakes sticktogether and fall as a cluster offlakes. They also fall as single flakes. Look at the single snowflake on yourmitten. Use your magnifying glass tomake it look bigger. Each snowflakehas six sides.

下雪的时候总是很冷很冷。因为太冷了，空气里的水汽都凝结起来，变成了雪花。 让雪花飘落在你的手套上吧。 有时候，雪花黏在一块儿，一簇一簇地落下来;有时候，一片片地落下来。看看你手套上的那片雪花吧。 用放大镜放大观察，每片雪花都有六个瓣。雪花也许像这样，或者这样，或者像这样。

Sometimes snow is wet and sticky. When you walkin wet, sticky snow, you splash, and slip, and slide. Sometimes snow is light, dry, and fluffy. Walkingthrough light snow is fun. You can kick it into the air. You can scoop up a big shovelful of light, dry snow. You can run and roll and ski in the snow. You canslide on your sled. You can build a snowman.

有时候雪又湿又黏，在这种湿湿黏黏的雪上走路很容易滑跤。 有时候雪又轻又干，松松软软的，走在这种蓬松的雪上最好玩了。 你可以把雪踢得很高或大把大把地铲起来。 你可以在雪地上奔跑、打滚、滑行，也可以滑雪橇、堆雪人。

Snow can be fun, but what doessnow do? Is it good for plants? Isit good for animals? Is it good foryou and me? Let's find out.

雪很好玩，可是雪到底有什么用呢?它对植物有没有益处呢? 对动物有没有益处呢?对我们人类有没有益处呢?我们一起来找找看吧。
