It doesn't often snow in my city, but last January we had the biggest storm in thirty years. Overnight, almost half a meter of snow fell.
我住的城市不常下雪，但去年一月我們遇上了三十年來最大的暴風雪。一夜之間，下了將近半公尺的雪。
In the morning, the radio said that all the schools were closed. My little brother jumped out of bed and shouted with joy.
早上，收音機說所有學校都停課了。我弟弟從床上跳起來，開心得大叫。
The buses weren't running, so my father couldn't go to work either. We spent the day outside. We built a snowman taller than my brother and had a snowball fight with our neighbors.
公車停駛，所以我爸爸也沒辦法去上班。我們一整天都待在外面。我們堆了一個比弟弟還高的雪人，還和鄰居打了雪仗。
By the evening, we were cold and wet, but very happy. My mother made hot chocolate for everyone, and we watched a movie together.
到了傍晚，我們又冷又濕，但非常開心。媽媽幫大家泡了熱可可，我們一起看了一部電影。
