中文故事

这是一个自发的（spontaneous）想法，源于我 watching the 叶子（foliage）变色。我想知道叶子 falling 是不是树木的悲剧（tragedy）。但随后我想，也许这只是一个范式（paradigm）的转变。就像秋天的爆发（outbreak）。同时（simultaneous）落下的叶子让我笑了，就像一个宏伟的、满是树叶的采石场（quarry）释放它的宝藏。大自然的循环很有趣，不是吗？

英语故事

It was a spontaneous idea, born from watching the foliage change color. I wondered if the leaves falling was a tragedy for the trees. But then I thought, maybe it's just a shift in the paradigm. Like an outbreak of autumn. The simultaneous dropping of leaves made me laugh, like a grand, leafy quarry releasing its treasures. Nature's cycles are funny, aren't they?
