There was a small boy living on a farm, he needed to get up before sunrise every morning to start his chores and out again later to do the evening ones.

英文美文欣賞:Golden Windows金窗

During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence. So in the distance he could see the house with golden windows. He thought, how great it would be to live there! And his mind would wander to imagine the modern equipment and appliances that might exist in the house. He then promised to himself, “ some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”

Then,one morning his father told him to stay at home and his father would do the chores. Knowing that this was the chance, he packed the sandwich and headed acrossed the fields towards the house with the golden windows.

As the afternoon went on, he begin to realize how he misjudged the distance and something else was very wrong. As he approached the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of painting surrounded by a broked-down fence.

He went to the tattered screen door and knocked. A small boy very close to his age opened the door. He asked him if he had seen the house with the golden windows. The boy said, “sure, I know!” And invited him to sit on the porch. As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came, where the sunset turned the windows on his home to gold.

有一個小男孩生活在一個農場裡,每天天不亮就要起床開始做瑣碎的家務。然後,晚些時候再出來做那些晚上的工作。

在朝陽升起的時候,他可以爬到籬笆上面坐著休息一下。這樣,他就能看到遙遠的地方有一棟嵌著金色窗戶的房子。他暗自揣測,要是能住在哪裡該有多好!想著想著,他的腦海裡就充滿了那所房子中可能有的現代化的`家居器物和用具的形象。從那以後,他就對自己發誓將來有一天一定要到那所房子裡去看一看。

後來有一天,他的爸爸要自己去做家務,讓他在家裡歇著。他知道這是不可多得的機會,就趕緊裝上了幾塊三明治,穿過了片片田野,向著有金色窗戶的房子走去。

日頭漸漸過午了,他才開始意識到越來越不對勁兒,自己原來低估了這段距離。當他最終走近這所房子的時候,根本看不到什麼金色的窗子。而是一個油漆剝落,籬笆殘損的地方。

他走上前去敲了敲那扇破敗的房門。一個和他年齡相仿的小男孩打開了門。他問那個男孩是否知道關於金色窗子的事情。男孩說,“當然,我知道!”於是男孩邀請他一起在門廊上坐下。當他坐在那裡時,向著他走來的路看去,在那裡他家的窗戶被夕陽的餘暉染成了金色。
