Summer Nights in the Country

Summer Nights in the Country This past summer, I went to my grandpa's house in the countryside. There were no televisions or computers. Instead, I spent time with kids in the neighbourhood, picking wild berries and catching grasshoppers in the fields.

乡村夏夜 过去的这个夏天。我去我爷爷农村房子度假。当时没有电视和电脑。相反，我花时间和邻居的孩子们在一起，采摘野生浆果，在田野里抓蚱蜢。

The nights were the best part of my trip. We lay on the grass and watched the stars in the sky. It was nothing like the sky in the city. It was completely dark. You could not even see your own fingers! The stars were so bright and clear. And there were SO many of them! For the first time, I saw the Big Dipper. I even saw the Milky Way. All the kids shared what we knew about the stars and picked out shapes with our imaginations. I was fascinated by the wonder of the night sky. It was so different from anything I had seen in the city.

这次旅行，夜晚是最好的部分。我们躺在草地上看天上的星星。这一点也不像城市里的天空。四周一片漆黑。你连自己的手指都看不见! 星星是如此明亮和清晰。而且有那么多!我第一次看到了北斗七星。 我甚至看到了银河。所有的孩子都分享了我们对星星的了解，并根据我们的想象力挑选出星星的形状。 我被夜空的奇观迷住了。它和我在这个城市看到的任何东西都不一样。
