《窗》 錢鍾書 Random Thoughts on the Window又是春天，窗子可以常開了。春天從窗外進來，人在屋子裡坐不住，就從門裡出去。不過屋子外的春天太賤了！到處是Sunny，不像射破屋裡陰深的那樣明亮；到處是給太陽曬得懶洋洋的風，不像攪動屋裡沉悶的那樣有生氣。就是鳥語，也似乎瑣碎而單薄，需要屋裡的寂靜來做襯托。我們因此明白，春天是 好比畫配了框子。 It is spring again and the window can be left open as often as one would like. As spring comes in through the windows, so people——unable to bear staying inside any longer——go outdoors. The spring outside, however, is much too cheap, for the sun shines on everything, and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house. Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows ev erywhere, but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house. Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off. It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame.
