① Mr Robert Lynd once said of Jane Austen’s characters: “They are people in whose lives a slight fall of snow is an event.” Even at the risk of (冒……的风险) appearing to this fair and witty(机智的) reviewer(评论家) as another Mr Woodhouse, I must insist(坚称，坚决认为) that last night’s fall of snow here was an event. I was nearly as excited about it this morning as the children, whom I found all looking through the window at the magic outside and talking away(不断地说；在说话中度过) as excitedly as if Christmas had suddenly come round (发生，降临) again.

Then the sun came out(出来；出现), and by the time(到...的时候) I had sat down to breakfast it was shining bravely and flushing(v. 使发红) the snow with delicate(柔和的，易碎的) pinks.

③ 今早我起床时, 世界是一片寂然的白色与浅淡的蓝色, 到处清清冷冷。窗子透进来的光线很是怪异, 使得洗脸、刮胡子、刷牙、穿衣服这些熟悉的日常行为也显得离奇古怪。接着太阳出来了,等到我坐下来吃早餐时, 太阳的光彩已是绚烂夺目, 给雪地添了一抹柔和的粉红色。餐厅的窗户成了一幅可爱的日本版画。在阳光的普照之下, 屋外的小李子树的树干和枝丫被淡粉的积雪精致巧妙地装点着。

一两个小时过后, 一切都闪着或白或蓝的微光。世界又彻底改变了模样。小小的日本版画都消失不见了, 我从书房看向窗外, 越过花园、田野, 再望向远处低矮的小山, 沿着不断向前延伸的地面望去, 天空成了厚重的灰色, 所有的树木都显出很多黑黢黢和凶神恶煞的样子。
First Snow 初雪
这是“名词+ 名词”构成的“逻辑主语（宾语）+名词短语（宾补）”这类独立主格结构，描述了作者看到的雪后窗外寂静的景色。
There was indeed something curiously disturbing(令人不安的；烦扰的) about the whole prospect(开阔的景观，景色). It was as if our kindly countryside, close to the very heart of England, had been turned into a cruel grassland. At any moment, it seemed, a body of (一群，大量) horsemen might be seen breaking out from the black trees, so many weapons might be heard and some distant spot of snow be reddened (v. 使变红). It was that kind of landscape.

Once, a small village was blanketed in winter's first snow. Children's laughter echoed as they built snowmen and had snowball fights. Amelia, a young girl, found a perfect snowflake on her mitten. It sparkled like a diamond, its intricate pattern a marvel. She gently placed it in a jar, dreaming of summer's return. That night, the snow glowed softly under the moon, transforming the village into a winter wonderland. In the morning, the snow had melted, but Amelia's jar still held the magic of that fleeting moment.
