四、阅读判断
For writers in Western cultures, fall is a difficult season to describe.
On the one hand, it is the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. When you get up in the morning there’s mist(薄雾) and it’s cooler. You know that winter is around the corner. American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast: “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the tree....”
On the other hand, fall has its good side. There are so many changes in nature at this time of year. The red and brown colors that the leaves change to, and the way they fall from the trees. French writer Albert Camus even thought fall was a second spring: “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
Another fall theme is wisdom. The coming of the season is just like a person becoming mature(成熟的). At this time it’s thought that people have learned a thing or two about life.
Of course, there are many other themes and subjects m the literature (文学) of fall. For example, it’s the beginning of a new term of the school year. So fall can be a writing topic for children and young people. But fall writing is usually about the changes in nature. And writers often use it as a symbol for changes in human life.
