临近圣诞，连日降雨，改写白色圣诞歌词。
I'm here having a wet wet Christmas
It doesn't like the ones I used to know
With students gone, the campus a ghost town
The lighted tree is the only seasonal show
圣诞时节雨淋淋，不似旧时雪纷纷。
学生离去校园空，唯有灯树司黄昏



I'm here having a wet wet Christmas
With every Wechat posting I write
I imagine China's cities out of sight
Those in the north may have some white
圣诞时节雨淋淋，闲来无事写微信。
遥想九州多朦胧，银装或向北国寻。

Winter Here

We are having a warm winter here
The first time in many a year
Snow is much lesser than usual
the blowing wind is soft and gentle
My shovels lean against the bar wall
They almost don't have to work at all
In my eyes, winter is already gone
The red bush in my yard won't be alone
any more, since its new leaves
will grow soon in soft spring breezes.

这里的冬天

今年我們這裡的冬天很暖和  
這是许多年以來的第一次
雪比平常少得多
風兒也是軟綿輕柔的
我的鏟雪鍬靠著倉庫的牆壁而立
它們幾乎不需要工作
在我眼中，冬天已經過去了
在我院子中的紅灌木將不再孤獨
因為在這柔和的春風裡
它即將長出新的葉子来

（第一句增譯：今年）

It isn't like the ones I used to know

哈哈，记错词了。成了它不喜欢我所熟知的。

不小心犯的错，我也常犯，而且自己看不见自己的错。
