"What strikes someone coming in from outside is the incredible amount of energy, enthusiasm and commitment that has been shown in defense of this natural resource over several generations. This has not been a case of just a handful of committed individuals but a significant proportion of local residents, their children and other students in local schools, their teachers, local government officials and representatives of the people, all working collaboratively." - Tom Scott
Butler 池塘
(就要搬离朝夕相处三年的Butler池塘了,非常怀念一起的日子)
来看看Butler池塘迷人的早晨吧。
你只需静静的走,
晨光洒满湖面,
落花安抚波澜。
野鸭子仍在岸边埋头酣睡。
红蜻蜓已然落在乌龟壳上。
对岸的大青蛙,呜哇..呜哇..
你也可以跑起来,
滑过紫菀,蒲公英和车轴草,
两岸斑驳的树影下
有松鼠一跃而过。
啄木鸟在不远处,哒哒..哒哒..
你停下来,
用力呼吸。
有光,有雾,有花香。
还有枫树橡树和槐树,沙沙..沙沙..
你要离开了吧?
别忘了回头一声珍重
有些欢笑,有些回忆,只属于你...
“要好好的,我会回来看你的“
Butler Pond
(I will move away from Butler Pond where I have been living together for three years.)
Come and see the charming morning at Butler Pond.
You just walk quietly,
The morning light spilled over the lake,
Falling flowers appease the waves.
The wild duck was still sleeping on the shore.
The red dragonfly has landed on the turtle shell.
The big frog on the other side, wow wow wow wow...
You can also run,
Gliding over aster, dandelion and trifolium,
Under the shadow of mottled trees on both sides
A squirrel jumped by.
The woodpecker is not far away, da da... da da...
You stop,
Breathe hard.
There is light, fog, and floral fragrance.
There are maple oaks and locust trees, rustle... rustle...
Are you leaving?
Don't forget to look back and cherish
Some laughter, some memories, only belong to you...
"Be good, I will come back to see you"
- Fushuang Li
