Dream #2

阴天,一个老旧的大宅子,就像燕南园里那些房子,砖墙,红色窗框。屋外有很多梧桐树,枯叶掉落铺了一地。我站在院子里,回头看见窗户开着,一个姑娘在屋里和我招了招手,把窗户关上了。我心中知道这恐怕是一个说再见的时候,只看见她窗户后无声的笑容。

A dream from earlier this year. Overcast day, an old mansion, just like those in Yan Nan Yuan: brick walls, wooden window frames painted in dark red. The house was surrounded by chinar trees, their fallen leaves carpeted the ground. I was wandering outside the house when I noticed the girl was standing behind a window. I felt it was probably the time to say farewell. She waved me, then closed the window, leaving me only her soundless smile.
