Happy Thanksgivings 感恩节之二

The whistling wind swirl made the leaves fall

Happiness of Joy flowed lightly in the air

Apples ripe and juicy in the trees

Nipping cold wind mixed with the warm sunshine

Kindness thankfulness full of appreciation

Singing of melodies all around homes

Gather all your friends and family have great fun

I am thankful of all the people who taught me to grow strong in my life

Very special moments remembered in my mind

I am thankful of all the happiness which I learned to smile to the world

Neither one grows by themselves be thankfulness from your heart

Gratefulness, Kindness, Joyfulness will never end!

Village 村落

Blooming trees a heavy river,

Looking up the mid shadow sky.

Swaying breeze a sunlight glow,

Looking through a glorious sight.

                                   -- Nina Zhan / Age 7

树木盛开  河流涓涌

天高云淡

微风摇曳 纤云不染

春色美无极

Desert 荒漠

The burning sun across my feet,

Sand cracking beside my knees.

The sandy fire beneath my body,

Every drop of sweat pouring like rain.

                                 -- Nina Zhan / Age 7

 

灼热的太阳萦绕于我的双足

干裂的沙子缠绵于我的膝旁

躯体燃烧着一团沙火

每一滴汗珠

都似雨水一般倾泻而下

Cat 猫

Cat

Whispering on tiny cat purrs,

Cautiously creeping with light feet,

Shimmering fur like the early morning,

A dark green witchy eyes,

Peering up at a moon lit hill.

                                  -- Nina Zhan / Age 7

 

猫在喵呜声中窃窃私语

轻盈的足小心匍匐

毛似晨曦般闪光

一对深翠色的巫眼

凝视着

被月亮点燃的山丘

CLOSED 关闭

The WELCOME sign turns into the word

CLOSED,

The light become darker.

The windows turn inky black like space,

The trees turn away and hides in the shadows,

The clashing plates

silence;

The chatting

fades;

And soon everyone is

“欢迎”的标志换成了

“关闭”，

光线变暗,

窗户似天穹般墨黑,

树木转身，躲进了阴影里。

叮当的餐碟

沉默了；

熙攘的聊天

淡去了；

瞬间每个人都

消

失

了

Animal Crackers 动物饼干 / Guess

Sometimes I imagine a forest full of animals.

I eat my animal crackers

and imagine a forest in my tummy.

I eat and eat and eat some more!

Matching up all the crackers

with animals in the forest.

                                    
                                        -- Nina Zhan / Age 7

有时我想象一个充满动物的森林

我吃了动物饼干

想象我肚子里有一座森林

我吃啊，吃啊，吃很多！

将所有的动物送进

我肚子里的森林

Guess

Shinning leaves a thick spiraling branch.

A glittery scarf around its body.

A golden star on the green tip.

Have you guessed it?

A Christmas tree!

My Best Friend

My Best Friend

I have a friend,

We do everything together.

We do everything together,

as much as we are so alike!

We have so much in common,

so much together.

I can't believe we are friends,

as much as we are alike!
