四月，读乔治·吉辛笔下的春天。他说，春天的礼物不是天气，而是“有什么好事即将开始”的安静希望。
Spring in the Country
Spring comes: the lanes begin to be pleasant; the days grow longer. I walk out in the morning and see the buds on the trees; I hear the birds singing as if they had forgotten the winter. There is a softness in the air that makes me want to live forever.
I have lived through many springs, but each one feels like the first. The world renews itself, and I renew myself with it. That is the gift of April: not just warmer weather, but the quiet hope that something good is about to begin.
春天来了：乡间小路变得怡人，白日渐长。我清晨出门，看见树上的新芽；我听见鸟儿歌唱，仿佛已忘却冬天。空气中有一丝温柔，让我想要永远活下去。
我经历过许多个春天，但每一次都像是第一次。世界更新了自己，我也随之更新。这便是四月的礼物：不只是更暖和的天气，而是那种"有什么好事即将开始"的安静希望。
—— 乔治·吉辛，《亨利·赖克罗夫特私密笔记》（节选）
