春假之一湖今天的天气终于在三天的阴霾过后转晴了

春假之一——McBride湖

今天的天气终于在三天的阴霾过后转晴了。太阳光温暖而明媚，鸟儿们似乎也开心地飞翔在天际，欢快地唱着歌。早饭后，妈妈建议我们在多天的暴风雨后郊游，爸爸和我点头同意。我们大概花了半个小时，开车抵达一个名叫McBride的大湖。我们开车穿越了一个很大的原始森林，其中长满了高大的绿树，最终来到了那片传说中仙境般美丽的湖水。我跳下车，迅速奔上了湖中央的由各种岩石堆砌而成的大坝。我这才很吃惊地发现湖中的水竟是那样蔚蓝而纯净，就好像钻石中透出的宝蓝一般。除了我们大坝上没有任何人。远处的湖边坐落着五颜六色的漂亮房子，风景旖旎，高高的大树林立在湖的周围，湖处于一片宁静祥和中。我试图更加接近整个湖面，于是小心翼翼地走下了大坝。湖水清澈见底，湖底成群的小鱼和大块的岩石清晰极了。整个湖面好像水晶做成的镜子一样晶莹剔透。我学爸爸朝水中扔了一块小石头，感觉就像在比赛，看谁激起的波又多又远。爸爸是个老手了，我无奈地输掉了比赛。尽管如此，我还是大笑，感到很高兴。这里的空气也很洁净，微风轻柔而温暖。很快，我们决定沿着湖边走一走。

It was a long way.The narrow road we were walking serpentines through the forest.It was wriggly.Many tall trees fell down into the water and no one gardens it.At the beginning,I ascribed all these untidiness to the irresponsibility of the lake workers,but dad told me that it was good for the tree to live without the intervention of human beings and it was smart for people here to make the trees live ecologically-emerge of itself and perish of itself.It was more natural and better for whatever the trees or environment.That is,the nature would always manage to circulate in a balanced whole.As we walked along the lake, am an sitting in a small boat at the middle of the lake waved to us,and we waved back.People here in Iowa were always friendly.People often greeted in the street even they did not know about each other before. The man was sitting quietly holding a long rod.American people own a boat themselves sometimes.They often carry boats with them so that they could boat and fish when going to lakes.

Around eleven,we decided to go back.Along the original path,we were surprised to find a beach not distant away from the lake.The beach was fascinating.The sand is soft shining sparklingly under the sun.Walking barefoot on beach,I found a flock of lovely gooses.In fact,it is extremely common to see wild ducks and gooses even snakes near water.We left the beach soon and made our way back.

If I had another opportunity,I would like to go there again!

湖边的路很长。狭窄的小道穿过了森林，显得十分崎岖不平。很多大树横倒在小水沟中，但看样子却没有人过来整修它们。起初，我将这些都归咎于那些工人们不负责的工作态度，但后来爸爸解释说其实这样不加人工管理反而对树是大有裨益的，美国人的做法在这点上很聪明——让它们自生自灭。不论对于树或者整个森林来说这都将更加自然和优化，因为自然拥有自己的调节能力。我们继续沿着湖边前行，一个坐在船上钓鱼的人朝我们挥手，他的小船孤零零地飘在湖的中央。Iowa的人们很友好，即使大家素不相识，他们也会在人烟稀少的大街上和你打招呼。船中人手握长杆，静静地坐在船边。美国人家里经常会有船。他们来到湖边都会开车载着小船，以便可以在湖中划船和钓鱼。

十一点钟时，我们决定往回返。我们沿着原路返回，惊奇地发现了离湖边不远处有一个沙滩。沙滩很美丽，沙子软绵绵的，在阳光照耀下发出金色的光芒。在沙滩上步行，我看到了一群可爱的白天鹅。其实在这里的水边看到野鸭和白鹅甚至野蛇都是很平常的事呢。很快，我们离开了沙滩，踏上了回家的路。

我想如果有机会的话，我还想再去这个美丽的湖。
