暖冬cool夏
这里一年四季温暖如春，没有酷暑没有严寒......
很多年前看过一部电影，电影的内容记不清了，可依稀记得一个画面: 当小船远去, 静静的河面上突然从远而近传来了歌声, 渐渐在整个河面上荡漾开来。 那一刻, 那景那歌走了心, 刻在了脑海里。后来知道那首电影插曲是罗大佑的歌，再后来又听秋水唱，好听极了。今日也来试试，这是我第一次唱罗大佑的歌。

9/9/2021: Submerging myself in the bath tub around 10 pm, I was watching a show over the cell phone, when I heard a rumbling sound, a sound in my distant memory that resembles thunder. I turned down the cell phone, and asked him in the next room if he heard something, and if that was a thunder, a very rare weather phenomenon we ever experienced here. My suspicion was soon confirmed as another deafening thunder banged afar. I was scared and hurried out of the tub, putting on clothes as if cladding myself with protections. Quick rain soon followed, but it only lasted for a few minutes. But the lightning lingered in the sky, flashing amid the dark night clouds.
9/10/2021: However, the rain did not relieve us as expected and the monsoonal weather continued. Friday night, I dozed off in front of a TV, and when I woke up, I heard muffled music floating in through the open window. Was there a concert or a party somewhere? Alone in a T-shirt and a short skirt, I walked out the door. It was almost 10 pm. The day heat abated to the cool night air, and it was moonless. The neighborhood was quiet, except for the buzzing sounds the lawn sprinklers in the common areas were making as they oscillated and gushed water to thirsty lawns and bushes. I walked to the direction of music, stepping down occasionally to the driveway to evade the possible spider web under the low-hanging trees. As I turned around the corner, a row of myrtle trees in the central divider greeted me with their blooming bright purple flowers. Though no other people were seen outside at the hour, cars were still on road, whisking by to and fro. The street lights lined up uniformly on every porch or post shone the dim lights. Walking in a safe and familiar community somehow no longer made me feel safe, however inviting a serene night like this was. I turned back home after a few blocks’ walk.
9/11/2021: I woke up before 7 am in the morning, as I remember to call my brother in China. He was relentlessly on the business trip, weekdays or weekends. I rarely contact him nowadays, but tasked with some inquiries that dad entrusted me with, I had to make the call for some information, so that answers could be given to ease Dad afterwards.
After a late breakfast, I suggested going out for some fresh air, as we holed up at home for so long. We drove to a bay not too far. The sea breeze was soothing, so was the sight of people kayaking on the narrow bay. But as we hiked along an inland trail, bare and blisteringly dry, our enthusiasm soon fizzled. Later we found that it was 93F outside, and obviously we chose a wrong day to go out.
歌词:
突然觉得这歌要是换成摇滚唱法而且用烟嗓唱也应该很带劲的。
知道罗大佑最初是当医生的，跟闻香一样，所以有才的人就是有才，做什么都行，都能做好，闻香也一样! 闻香周末快乐!
你知道嗎羅大佑原來是醫生。
問好！
The thunders were very frightening the other night, as if to split the sky. The weather here cools down now. Actually when I am sitting in front of an open window, I feel cold without a jacket:)) Let's hope that rain will come in due time and that the rainfalls are bountiful enough to quench the parched land. Thanks again, my friend.
The memory of last summer's incendiary dry storms still fresh, we are lucky to have had none so far in the Bay Area. In fact, we are promised some rain in a few days. Cheers!
过来点赞暖冬美妙歌声，跟读英文日记！：）
你们那里那天没有打雷啊，我们这边雷声太可怕了，来这里二十多年第一次听到这么响的雷声，所以特意记下来。谢谢小小百忙中来看我，常常惦记着，小小新周快乐!
佩服暖冬英文写日记，前几天，傍晚在公园运动时也看见远处天边闪电，可等了半天没听到雷声，可能离我们远了一点：））
那晚的雷声这么大，真是吓到了，连澡也不够泡了，生怕等下出什么意外，衣服都来不及穿:)) 这边干旱，所以原本是很少有惊雷的，最近比较humid，这个周末还挺热，今天终于凉下来了。
现在回国难啊，但愿明年能回去，Oncemm一样惦记回去看妈妈吧。我老弟工作很忙的，我周五晚上微信他，又在出差的高铁上。我们现在有个观点非常一致，就是人各有命，富贵真是有天命的。祝Oncemm新周快乐!
要谢谢秋水的版本，因为喜欢你的甜美悠扬的天籁之音，才想起来自己也试着唱唱，我的唱歌兴致时高时低，每多唱一首歌都为自己高兴，每一首歌里都会留下记忆。这类歌应该是比较适合我，但这个version唱得有点单薄，少了点穿透力。谢谢秋水的点评和夸赞，新周快乐!(对了，乌镇我都没有去过呢)
对了，那天的雷声太恐怖了，很响，比我记忆里任何江南的雷雨天都要吓人。北加没有打雷闪电就好。
坚持用英文记录生活，真好！我都多久没有听到雷声了，前两天睡觉不知道是我梦到了雨声还是夜里真的下了雨，醒来拉开窗帘，阳光普照，地面干干的：）看着暖冬水上片片听着暖冬的船歌声，我想到前年回国去的乌镇了，只能是梦里水乡了~~~不啰嗦了：）问候暖冬，新周愉快！
