魏惠今年夏天，我和朋友到一小岛作了几天暂短的旅行。这小岛在英国南边海岸对开不远处，虽说名气不大，但其峰光之奇特，实在令人难忘。 正如不列巅群岛的其他岛屿一样，该小岛在我的心目中占有一个相当特别的地位。为什么？因为我一向热爱大自然，喜欢风光美丽而神秘的地方。我总觉得群山或岛屿有能激发人丰富想象力的魅力。雄伟的高山，清澈的溪流和潺潺而过的小溪融为一幅绮丽的山水画，是何等的迷人。还有，我还听过有关该岛的一些历史，所以当朋友建议到小岛去旅行时，就不加思索地答应下来。 大凡每个地方都有其迷人之处。就拿伦敦来说吧，在人们眼中它是一座文化名城。而作为一个国家，瑞士以其湖光雪景闻名于世；地中海沿岸诸国，则以它们的明媚阳光、碧水绿洲等奇观而吸引无数远方游客。而我，则在尚未抵达小岛前已为它那小家碧玉的气息而着迷。所以一踏上小岛，我马上就被眼前所看见的一切迷住：四处一片青绿，一条小路崎岖而行，间或两、三辆小汽车不匆不忙而驶过，多么安闲自如，跟大都市里的景象完全不一样。 我们住进了靠海的一间家办小旅馆，旅馆外边微浪拍岸的声音清晰入耳。后边，是翠绿的山峦，各种各样美丽的山花开遍山岗。那天我刚好穿了一件色彩较为鲜艳的裙子，裙子在绿色山景的忖托下，显得更加艳丽夺目，使我好像踏进一幅国画之中。在伸延几乎看不见尽头的沙滩旁，一个野营场地停了不少旅游住宿车。距那儿不远有几间小商店，显然是为旅客而开设的。 小岛除了旅游者外，长年居民并不太多，而看来旅游的人群大多是夏季才出现。尽管如此，我们所碰到的每个人都十分友善，脸上总是挂著微笑或随时给你来个笑脸，给人一种曾似相识的感觉。我想，正如大自然一样，这里的人际关系显露当今大都市所缺乏的东西：真诚，友善和可信。而整个小岛也很宁静，安闲；空气清新，感觉不到环境污染的痕迹。我想，小岛距大陆只有一水之隔，然而却保持了很多特有的自然色彩和魅力，实在不简单。 我们租了一部小汽车环岛走了一圈，间或停下来观赏海浪拍打岸边的雄壮景象。浪涛击打岩壁时所发出的声音有著一种激励人心的磅礴气势，这是我以前不常领会到的情景。随后我们在一高处坐下休息，放眼浩瀚大海尽头处那遥远的海平线。在这神奇的景象前，大夥儿都不愿多说话，各自陷入了沈思。大海深处到底是什么样的世界？古代岛上的人是怎么样生活的？大洋的对面是什么样的国度？ 我们在小岛上呆了好几天，尽情享受大自然给我们留下的一切。那段日子是我一生中最难忘的时光。我好象鸟儿一样自由自在，像小孩子那样充满朝气。我好像回到了大自然，成为大自然中的一部分。我甚至迷恋得不愿离开。这小小的海岛，及这个夏天，实在令我难忘。
A Brief Trip to A Small Island (Wei Wei) I holidayed on a small island last summer. This is a small and little known island, off the south coast of England. It is truly a beautiful and magical place. I like outings to islands, forests and places of interest. This small island has a special place in my heart. Why is it so special? Well. I always like nature, like beautiful and romantic places. Islands, I believe, hold the appealing and magical power for the imagination. The lofty mountains, small streams with clear water, and fast running rivers, are the real home of mankind. In the case of this small Island, it is blessed with wonders of nature. So when my friends suggested the idea of making a trip to there, I needn Every place has something special to offer the tourist. London for example, is often said to be a city with a wealth of cultural assets. Switzerland, as a country, on the other hand, prides itself for the beautiful scenery for which it is famous. And the countries on the rims of the Mediterranean, it is the sun and the greenery sceneries that attract the visitor. This small island had attracted me long before we began the journey. I had longed to see the spectacular views that I had not seen before. And I was truly amused as soon as we landed there: Green plants everywhere; a small road winding seemingly endlessly towards the foot of the hills; every now and then a car would come into view, quietly, in no hurry at all. What a peaceful place this was! We booked in a small family-run guest house by the sea, where every now and then the sound of gentle waves was heard outside. Behind the guest-house stood the hills, whose plants were dotted with beautiful flowers. As I was wearing a bright dress that morning, it looked as if I had arrived in a flowery world, or that I had stepped into an old Chinese landscape painting. Beside the road leading to the beach, there was a campsite with a few parked caravans. Not far from there stood some small shops, apparently catering for the holiday-makers. The whole place seemed to be thinly populated, except for the holiday-makers, whom I guess would come mostly in the summer reason. However, everyone I met appeared to be very friendly and even helpful. Like nature itself, I thought, these folks showed what big cities lack these days: sincerity, kindness and trust. Everyone seemed to wear a smile or ready to give you a smile. And the island itself is so quiet, peaceful. The air was so fresh, with hardly any trace of environmental pollution. This is really fascinating, given the fact that it is just a short distance from the mainland. We hired a car and drove round the island. Here and there we stopped to watch the sea waves off shore. The impacts between the waves and the cliffs produced the most spectacular sound that I had hardly heard before. I kept wondering what a world it might be under the deep, as I eyed in stillness the horizon beyond the blue sea, which itself was fascinating and expansive. The island We stayed on the island for several days, enjoying everything the place had to offer. These were some of the most unforgettable days of my life. I felt free as a bird, energetic as a young child. I felt as if I had returned to nature, and be part of it. I liked it there so much that I did not even want to leave. This wonderful summer, this small yet beautiful place, will forever stay in my mind.
