Dear Kitty,
I wonder if it's because I haven't been able to ke outdoors for so long that I've grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, thesong of the birds,moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That's changed since I came here.
For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didnt dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn't go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their Power; it was the first time in a year and a half that l'd seen the night face to face Sadly.I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. It's no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.

亲爱的kitty:
不知道是不是因为我很久都不能出门了,我对所有与自然有关的事情都变得如此疯狂。我可以记住,曾经有一段时间,天空湛蓝,鸟语花香,月光和鲜花从来不会让我着迷。这些改变了,自从我来到这里。
例如,有一天晚上天气很暖和,我故意不睡觉直到十一点半,以便我自己好好看看月亮。但因为月亮太亮了,我不敢打开窗户。另一个5个月前的一个傍晚,我碰巧在楼上,窗户就在那里开放。直到不得不关上窗户,我才下楼。黑暗,下雨傍晚,风,雷鸣般的云把我完全控制在它们的力量之中;这是一年半以来我第一次面对面地看到这个夜晚。
遗憾的是,我只能透过挂着的脏窗帘看大自然在满是灰尘的窗户前。看完这些再也没有乐趣了,因为自然是一件必须经历的事情。
理解
