The sun a white, burning disk, seemed to hang in the black velvet of the surrounding heavens.

太阳是一个白色的、燃烧着的圆盘，挂在看起来像黑色天鹅绒般围绕着的宇宙中。

The summer sky was bluer then, the sycamores smiled in the sun, and the hot days drowsed by, punctuated with velvet evenings when fireflies flashed outside my bedroom window.

那时候的夏季﹐天空更是蔚蓝，梧桐在阳光下微笑，炎炎夏日昏昏沉沉地过去，夹杂其间的是柔如丝绒的夜晚﹐卧室窗外﹐萤火虫闪烁发光。
