展开英文短文,再悬停查词

In July, the main road to school felt like a long pan. The sun hit the asphalt, and the air above it looked shaky.

One day, my friend showed me another route. It was two minutes longer, but there were trees along the street. The shade made the walk cooler.

We also heard birds and saw a small garden in front of a house.

The shortest way is not always the best way. In summer, shade can be part of the map.

查看中文译文

七月,去学校的大路热得像一口长长的平底锅。太阳晒着柏油路,路面上方的空气看起来都在晃动。

有一天,朋友带我走另一条路。虽然要多花两分钟,路边却有树,树荫让步行舒服凉快了许多。

我们还听到了鸟叫,看见一户人家门前的小花园。

最短的路不一定最好。到了夏天,树荫也可以成为选路时要看的东西。
