从羽田机场进入东京已经是夜里。呈现在街灯下的街道一片冷落，看不见人影，比起人声嘈杂、车辆拥挤的上海完全成了两样。
我想这才是真正的夜。白天绝不是这样寂静。我到东京的第三天，友人带着去了箱根。从东京到横滨的途中，印象最深刻的是无边的瓦砾、衣衫褴褛的妇女、形容枯槁的人群。但是道路很平坦光洁。快到箱根，森林渐渐深起来，红叶映着夕阳，弯曲的道路，更增添了一层秀媚。在山路大转弯的地方，富士山头顶雪冠、裹着紫云，真有一种难以形容的美。(189 words）
——《从重庆到箱根》·冰心
It was already dark when I arrived in Tokyo from Heneda Airport. The city looked desolate under the street lamps. Not a soul in sight. It was entirely different from Shanghai, which was noisy and choked with vehicles.
(I believed it was a real night.) However, I presumed the city would never be so still in the daytime. On the third day after my arrival, a friend of mine showed me around Hakone. On the way from Tokyo to Yokohama, what struck me most were the endless sights of debris, shabbily-dressed women and haggard crowds. But the roads were level and clean. The nearer we got to Hakone, the more luxuriant the forests. The red autumn leaves in the evening glow plus the zigzag paths added greatly to the enchanting beauty of the landscape. Around a corner of the mountain path, we suddenly came in sight of the indescribable beauty of snow-capped MountFuji wrapped in purplish clouds.
