导语：北方的同学们快告诉小编下雪是什么感觉!下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!
The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of (1)the living, on the graves of the dead!
All white save the river, that marked its course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees, that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacies of their branches.
What silence, too, came with the snow, and what seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
【参考译文】
初雪飘临。多么美啊!它整日整夜那么静静地飘着，落在山岭上，落在草地上，落在世人的`屋顶上，落在死者的坟墓上!在一片白茫茫之中，只须河流在美丽的画面上划出一道曲曲弯弯的黑线;还有那叶儿落净的树木，映衬着铅灰色的天空，此刻更显得枝丫交错，姿态万千。
初雪飘落时，是何等的宁谧，何等的幽静!一切声响都趋沉寂，一切噪音都化作柔和的音乐。再也听不见马碲得得，再也听不见车轮辚辚!唯有雪橇的铃铛，奏出和谐的乐声，那明快欢乐的节拍犹如孩子们心房的搏致动。
