“是啊,今儿晚上冷得够呛。”维修站工人一面摇着油泵,一面说,“今天下午天气好像突然变了。今年夏天的最后一阵热浪过去了。要不了多久,我们就得考虑烤火啦。”
……
“我们得走了,”他说,“差十分十二点。”我依依不舍地离开维修站这个避风的好去处。寒风刮在我的面颊上。星斗满天,夜空里还飘着几丝云影。“是呀,”维修站工人说,“今年的夏天就这么过去了。”
‘We ought to be going, ‘he said. ‘It’s ten minutes to twelve.’ I left the shelter of the garage reluctantly. The cold wind blew in my face. The stars raced across the sky. There were threads of cloud too. ‘Yes,’said the garage man, ‘summer’s over for this year.’
