It is said that there should be rain during the Vernal Equinox. Yesterday after the rain came the thunder. Although it looks gloomy today, there is not even a drop of rain. With a sweater, I stare at the flooding water brought by the overnight rain along the riverbank, wondering how the branches feel as they join the main stream. The monsoon is still strong but I can sense that summertime is here already.

聽說春分應該下雨,不過雨昨天已下過了,雷也打了,今天雖然天黑黑的,卻沒有一點雨絲。穿著毛衣的我在河畔看著一夜春雨帶來的滿溢河水。支流的河水流入主河道時,心情是如何的呢。季侯風依然強烈,不過我感到夏季已經來了。
