话说“spring”
[p=30, 2, center]话说“spring”[/p]春天象征着生命和青春，不同民族的人们都喜欢春天。spring在英语中有“泉水”“弹簧”，甚至“生育”的意思。
早在公元前300多年，亚里士多德（Aristotle）就说过“One swallow does not make a spring.（独燕不成春）”在人们的心目中，春天的形象便是这样的。
英语中有很多描绘和歌颂春天的诗句。有的诗句是关于如何感知春天的来临，比如：In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, when birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding, sweet lovers love the spring.
有的诗歌则表达春天给人们带来的欢乐和喜悦的心情如：Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's king; Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring, cold does not sting, the pretty birds do sing. Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
下面这位仁兄大概是个懒汉，不信请看这则：Spring is he glorious season when the grass grows up along the roadside and hides the discarded beer cans.
以上是一些过去的经典诗作，时下，歌颂春天的新作也很多，例如：Springtime seems to fill the air with music all its own; frogs and crickets come to life with such a pleasant tone.
Flowers peek their tiny heads above the fertile ground; No other season of the year can such beauty ere be found.
有关春天的名句，最脍炙人口的莫过于雪莱（Percy Bysshe Shelley）的经典诗句：“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”，这一诗句极佳地反映出人们对春天的渴望之情。
不过，也有拿春天来调侃的，有人甚至模仿雪莱的名句，创作出以下诗句：There's something bad in everything good: when spring comes, can spring cleaning be far behind?
现在，国内的大部分城市已经迎来了春天，然而北京的春天要等到四月，而且非常短促。对此，曾有人描述：“Spring here does not arrive so much as it rushes through, a blur of changing colours.”意思是说：“这里的春天来也匆匆，去也匆匆，而且瞬间即逝，人们印象中留下的只是模糊的色彩变化。”
“spring”一词语含义丰富，英语中常利用同词异意来形成双关语，揣摩一下这个句子是何意吧！[p=30, 2, left]Why does water melon have so much water?Because it is planted in spring.
