Thirty years ago, if you were walking along the coast of the Netherlands and picked a two-spot ladybug off the leaf of a European lime tree, chances were that the bug would be red with black spots.

30年前，如果你走在荷兰的海岸边，从菩提树上取下一只双斑瓢虫，你会发现这只瓢虫的颜色是红色黑斑的；

I adored the severe colours of the landscape on walking out of the city (still smallish then) into the countryside the willows just coming into leaf.

当我走出这座彼时还略显狭小的城市，再走入乡间的时候，会欣赏到周边风光的酷烈色彩，还有刚刚返青的柳叶。

After working hours, I was walking alone on the path, when a leaf fell on my shoulder.

下班了，我独自走在这条小径上，正好一片叶子飘落在我肩上。
