Lake of Autumn
Guidance for Reciting
In the season of leaves falling and floating，partings happen anytime and anywhere，full of pathos and sadness. Let the silent lake take a photo for us with the reflection，witnessing our parting…
Iremember quite clearly now when the story happened. The autumn leaves were floating in measure down to the ground，covering the lake，where we used to swim like children，under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well，I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me，not daring to tell me. On that precious night，watching the lake，vaguely conscious，you said：“Our story is ending.”
The rain was killing the last days of summer. You had been killing my last breath of love，since a long time ago. I still don't think I'm gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand；I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I'm watching the lake，vaguely conscious，and I know my life is ending.
秋之湖
诵读导言
落叶飞飘的季节，分别随时随地发生着，充满了哀婉和凄美。就让这沉默的湖水以倒影为照，见证我们的分手吧……
我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。秋叶翻飞，飘落一地。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过。哦，我是这样认为的。可事实上你早就想离开我，只是不敢告诉我罢了。在那美丽的夜晚，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：“我们的故事已到尽头。”
雨水扼杀着所剩无几的夏日，而你很久以来也在扼杀我奄奄一息的爱。我仍不认为自己会再去经历另一段爱情。你把一切都带走了。我只有悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人。而我依然凝望着湖水，恍惚中，生命正离我而去。
