秋天的故事

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a harvest season, while for me, it is an annoying season. I was preparing for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination. But so many unhappy things made me so tired, so I decided to have a walk along the Yanjiang Road in my university.

　　“Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The days in this season always get me down”, I thought when the sound of a guitar flowed into my ears, like a stream flowing from the mountains. I was so surprised that I ran to see what it was. A young girl, sitting on the lawn, was lost in playing her guitar. She was a beautiful girl, especially when the wind blew her long hair. I had never seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.

　　Lost in the music, I did not realize that I had been standing for so long. But my existence did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day when I passed by the lawn, I would see her playing her guitar. She was the only performer and I was the only audience. During the rest of the days in the season, life became interesting and I could review the courses carefully. Though we did not know each other, I thought we were always good friends.

　　Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my astonishment, the girl came over to me.

　　“You must like the music,” she said.
　　“Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.

　　Suddenly, a sad expression appeared on her face.
　　“I came here just to have a rest because I failed in the college entrance examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that encouraged me,” she said, “and I have to go tomorrow.”

　　“In fact, it was your playing that gave me a meaningful autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.” I answered, “I think it was God who gave us the chance to know each other and we should be good friends.”

　　She smiled and I smiled.

　　Since then, I have never seen her again. I no longer passed by that lawn. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the season and the girl. It was her appearance that helped me passed the Postgraduate Entrance Examination, though she only appeared a few days in my life.
　We may encounter many people in our lives. Some are like a shooting star, but give off so much light that they guide you in the correct direction; some are like clothes to you, they are always with you, but do not understand you. Just as a famous saying, many people step in your life, but only true friends leave footprints.

　　I shall always recall the autumn, the girl and the sound of her guitar. I know she will always be my best friend.

那是一个金色的季节。我看到金色的叶子随着凉爽的秋风飘落。对其他人来说，这是收获的季节。然而对于我，这却是一个烦恼的季节。那时我正在准备研究生入学考试。但那么多不愉快的事情让我感到非常疲惫，所以我决定顺着学校的沿江路散散心。

　　“秋天是一个寂寞的季节，生活索然无趣。秋天我总是感到沮丧，”我正边走边想，这时弹吉他的声音就像山中小溪的流水灌入我的耳朵，我感到非常惊奇于是跑去看个究竟。一个非常年轻的女孩坐在草地上，忘我地弹着吉他。她真漂亮，尤其是当她的长发随风轻舞时。以前我从没有见过她。音乐如此美妙，以致我静静地听了起来。

　　沉醉在音乐中，我没有意识到自己竟然站了那么久，但我的存在好像并没有打扰她，叶子仍在随风飘零。每天路过那片草地，我都会看到她在那儿弹吉他。她是惟一的表演者，而我是惟一的听众。于是这个季节接下来的日子里，生活变得趣味盎然，我也能专心复习功课了。尽管我们彼此不相识，我认为我们已经是好朋友了。

　　秋季快过去了。一天，正当我专心致志地陶醉在音乐声中时，音乐声嘎然而止。使我惊愕的是，这个女孩向我走过来了。
“你一定很喜欢音乐吧。”她说。
　　“是的。你弹得真好。怎么停了？”我问。

　　突然，她的脸上现出一抹悲伤的表情。
　　“我只是来这里休息一段时间，因为我高考失利了。我感到非常失望，是你每天都来听鼓励了我，”她说，“明天我就要走了。”

　　“实际上，是你的音乐让我觉得秋天富有意义，使我相信我有能力通过考研。”我说道，“我认为是上苍给了我们相识的机会，我们应该成为好朋友。”

　　她笑了，我也笑了。

　　从那以后，我再也没有见过她。我不再经过那片草地了。只留下了厚厚的叶子。但我会永远铭记这个季节，还有那个女孩。是她的出现助我通过了研究生入学考试，尽管她出现在我的生命中只有短短的几天。

　　在我们的生活中，也许会遇到很多人，有些人就像流星一样，却发出足够的光芒指引你走向正确的方向；有些人就像你的衣服，虽然整日跟你在一起，却还是不能理解你。就像一句明言所说，很多人走进你的生命，却只有真正的朋友才能留下脚印。

　　我会永远回想起那个季节，那个女孩以及她的吉他声。我知道，她会是我永远的好朋友。
