Altogether Autumn聚秋 Altogether Autumn聚秋 It’s time to plant the bulbs. But I put it off as long as possible because planting bulbs means making space in borders which are still flowering. Pulling out all the annuals which nature has allowed to erupt in overpowering purple, orange and pink, a final cry of joy. That would almost be murder, and so I’ll wait until the first night frost anaesthetizes all the flowers with a cold, creaky crust that causes them to wither; a very gentle death. Now I wander through my garden indecisively, trying to hold on to the last days of later summer. 时下正当栽种球茎之际，可我却还一直拖着。因为种下它们，就意味着在开满了鲜花的花坛中占据不少空间。若将这一年生的植物连根拔除，那么摧残掉的将是这些大自然所赋予的万紫千红，是足以让人泪流满面的欢乐与欣喜。这无异于谋杀。于是我宁愿等着，等着霜降的第一个夜晚，等着花瓣儿全都附上了霜晶，咯吱作响，等着花儿都被冻得麻木，渐渐枯萎，以致凋零。而此时，我却徘徊在花园中，试图去挽留夏日那最后的时光。 Altogether Autumn聚秋 But I put it off as long as possible because planting bulbs means making space in borders which are still flowering. 但我迟迟不愿去面对，生怕不小心冒犯了胜放中的花儿。（过于意译） 因为种下它们，就意味着在狭长的花坛中占据那些怒放的花儿的地方。 但我却借故拖延，因为球茎的下种将在开满了鲜花的花坛中占据不少空间。 我却尽可能地将它拖延，那是因为栽种球茎需要在园子里腾出地方来，而恰逢此时鲜花也正是朵朵艳着。 因为球茎的下种就意味着要在花坛里腾出空间来，意味着要将那些依然盛开着的娇花拔了。 Altogether Autumn聚秋 Pulling out all the annuals which nature has allowed to erupt in overpowering purple, orange and pink，（1） a final cry of joy. （2）（争议） 1· 如果我真的去做了，那么我们摧残掉了将是竭尽全力绽放的万紫千红，是足以让人泪流满面的欢乐和欣喜。 2· 把一年生的植物全都拔除，这些被大自然所赋予了绚烂的紫色、橙色、和粉色的植物，让它们最后的一次喜极而泣。 3· 把这一年生的植物强行拔起，割断了大自然所赋予的紫、黄、和粉、这一片五彩斑斓，拒绝了这源自大自然的最后欢声笑语。 4·拔除那些在大自然的赋予下盛开的，紫色的、橘黄色的、粉红色的，这些在大自然的最后欢呼声中绽放着的花朵儿。 若将这一年生的植物连根拔除，那么摧残掉的将是这些大自然所赋予的万紫千红，是足以让人泪流满面的欢乐与欣喜。 Altogether Autumn聚秋 The trees are plump with leafy splendor. The birch is softly rustling gold, which is now fluttering down like an unending stream of confetti. Soon November will be approaching with its autumn storms and leaden clouds, hanging above your head like soaking wet rags. Just let it stay like this, I think, gazing at the huge mysterious shadows the trees conjure up on the shining green meadows, the cows languidly flicking their tails. Everything br
