从迎来第一场雪的兴奋到今年不寻常的过于频繁落雪的埋怨 ，同事们因为知道我从加州搬来不久，常和我开玩笑怎么没把加州阳光带来？ 

一场雪接一场雪，隔壁办公室的同事给我寄来下面的故事，我读完哈哈大笑， 翻成中文如下： 

搬去新泽西 

八月十五号： 

搬到新泽西。哇， 如此美丽！北望湖水，如此壮观！等不及看到湖面被白雪覆盖的样子，我会爱上这里。 

十月十四号 
 
泽西毫无疑义是世界是最美的地方。树上的树叶开始变得红橘相间。在公园里漫步时看见几只优雅的鹿，它们真是这个地球上最奇妙的动物。这里像个天堂，我爱死了这里！

十一月十号      

猎鹿的季节就要开始了。我难以想象竟然有人会射杀这种高贵的动物。我希望早点儿下雪。我热爱这片土地。  

那些红红黄黄的落叶已经像一块杂色的地毯铺在我家的后院。美丽极了！清理院子成了在清新凉爽的的空气中锻炼身体的机会。
 
十一月十五号 

啊，更多的落叶，更多的运动和锻炼。 
 
十一月十八号   

我的上帝啊！怎么还有这么多树叶啊！还是等到他们全落完再清理吧。
 
十一月二十五号  

终于等到这一天树上所有的叶子都落了下来。今天终于清理完毕。

我的脊椎科医生建议我明年最好请一位花园工。 我手上有四个水泡感染了，唉，也许应该记着戴手套。

十一月三十号 

真TMD的见鬼了！这许多树叶从哪里来的？昨晚只不过刮了点小风，今天草坪就被它们覆盖了。哦，让它们（树叶）呆在那儿到明年春天吧。 
  
 十二月十三号 

昨晚终于下雪了！当我醒来时发现整个世界披上一层白色的毯子。窗外的风景像一张明信片。我们出去铲雪清理了走道和车道还打了雪仗。 铲雪车过来了，大概我们还得把车道的尽头的余雪再铲一次。 

多美的地方啊！我爱泽西！ 

十二月十四号 

昨晚又下雪了！我好开心哦！铲雪车又把积雪弄到我们的车道上了。 

但是，我还是很喜欢这里。

十二月十八号 

昨晚又下雪了！车道上都是雪，我出不去了，无法去上班。

我厌倦了铲雪。去TMD的铲雪车。 

十二月二十二号 

昨晚又TMD下雪了！好像又回到与落叶奋战那样，我的双手如今到处都是铲雪铲出来的水泡。我总是忘了戴手套。我想那个见鬼的铲雪车就躲在我家附近的某个角落，一等到我把车道的雪铲完，他就出现了！真 TNND! 
 
十二月二十五号

  圣诞快乐！
更多该死的雪！如果那个开铲雪车的人落在我的手里，我发誓我一定宰了那个婊子养得他！ 

真搞不懂他们为什么不多撒点盐把那路上的鬼雪融化了。 

十二月二十七号

昨晚又TMD下雪了！除了铲车道上的雪几乎足不出户。手套铲雪都铲湿了，我的手长了冻疮。医生说还好不严重，很快就会好的。我们根本出不了家门，车子都陷在雪里。天气预报说今晚还要降大约十英寸的雪，你知道十英寸的雪要铲多少雪锹吗？ 

十二月二十八号

那个鬼天气预报根本不准！雪下了34英寸！照这样下去，积雪大概要到夏天才能全部消融。铲雪车被困在路当中了，那个龟儿子竟然问我借雪锹。我告诉他我已经因为铲雪损坏了六把雪锹，谁知这最后一把也毁在他的手里！ 

一月四号 

今天终以可以走出家门了！去商店里买了一些食物，却在回家的路上，我的车被一头鹿迎头撞上。 三千美金的损失！这该死的鹿！真希望它们十一月份猎鹿的季节中全部被猎人杀光！ 

  五月三号

 把车开的修理行。车子被一个冬天路上撒的鬼盐腐蚀得面目全非千疮百孔。

五月十号

搬去弗罗里达的村落。我不能想象任何精神正常的人要住在这被老天都遗弃的新泽西！   

读完上面的文字，我乐不可支，我的美国同事问我有没有同感，我说对于秋天的美丽和落叶的折磨，还真是感同身受，今天的冬雪尤其得多，我倒没有文章的作者反映那么强烈，从不敢在雪地里开车到无所畏惧，我也经历了许多“惊险”的体验！不过我问这位在新泽西住了一辈子的美国人，他怎么看，为什么还住在这里？他说他生在此长在此，早已习惯！这里是他的家！他问我有一天会不会像文章的作者搬到弗罗里达去？我哈哈大笑回答：“要搬，我也不去弗州！那里的飓风太多吓人！我还是回我的加州去！”同事也哈哈一笑说：“加州整天地震，我也怕怕！”嘿嘿，真可谓萝卜青菜，各有所爱吧！

 Moved  to New Jersey
    August 15
- Moved to a new home in Jersey . It's so beautiful here.
   The lake to the north looks so majestic.
   I can hardly wait to see it snow covered.
   I'm going to love it here.
 
     October 14
     I Jersey is definitely the  most beautiful place on earth.
    The leaves have turned all the colors and shades  of red and orange.
    Went for a ride through the park and saw some  deer. They are so
    graceful. Certainly they are the most wonderful animals on earth.
    This must be paradise, I LOVE IT HERE.
 
November  10
Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous animal,
hope it will snow soon. I love it here.
 
Those red and orange leaves have covered my yard. Looks like a magnificent
multi-colored carpet. HOW BEAUTIFUL. Raking and cleaning up the yard will
be an opportunity for invigorating exercise in the cool crisp air.
November  15 -
Ah, more leaves and more exercise.
 
November  18 -
Jesus, still more leaves. Guess it's best to wait until  they've all fallen before I rake again.
 
November  25 -
Finally, all of the trees lost their leaves and  today's final raking it's over for this season.
Chiropractor suggested I use a lawn maintenance service next year.
Only four blisters became infected. Should probably remember to use gloves.
 
  November  30 -
What the f--k? Where did all of those leaves come from?
A little wind last night and the lawn is covered again.
Oh well, they'll  just have to wait until spring.
 
  December  12 -
It snowed last night, FINALLY. Woke up to find everything  blanketed in white. It looks like a postcard.
We went  outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. Had  a snowball
fight (I won) and when the snowplow came by and we had to shovel the end of the driveway again.
What a beautiful place. I Love Jersey
 
December  14 -
More snow last night, I love it. The snowplow did his  trick  to the driveway again.
I Love it here.
 
  December 19 -
More snow again last night. Can't get out of the driveway to get to work.
I'm exhausted from shoveling. F---ing snowplow.
 
December 22 -
More of that white sh-t fell again last night. As if dealing with the leaves weren't bad enough, now I've got blisters
all over my hands from shoveling, must remember to wear gloves. I think the snowplow hides around the corner
and waits until I'm finished shoveling the driveway. The a--hole.
 
  December  25 -
  Merry Christmas.  
More frigging snow. If I ever get my  hands on that son-of-a-bitch who drives the snowplow.
I swear I'll kill the bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt the f---ing ice.
 
December  27 -
More white sh-t last night. Have been inside for three days except for shoveling out the driveway
after that plow goes through every  time.
F---ing gloves got wet and then froze on  my hands.  Doctor said it was just a mild case of frostbite, disfiguration
is probably only temporary. Can't go anywhere, car is stuck in a mountain of white sh-t. The weatherman says to
expect another 10 inches of the sh-t tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10 inches is?
 
December  28 -
The f---ing weatherman was wrong. We got 34 inches of that white sh-t. At this rate it won't melt 'till summer.
The plow  got stuck up the road and the bastard came to the door and  asked to borrow a shovel. After I told him
I'd already broken six of them shoveling all the sh-t he pushed into the driveway, I broke my last one on his  f---ing head.
 
January  4 -  
Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on the way back I hit a damned
deer that ran in front of my car.
Did about $3000 damage. F---ing beast should be killed. Wish the hunters had killed them all last November.
 
  May 3 -  
  Took the car to the garage in town. The thing is rusting out from all the f---ing salt they put all over the roads.
 
May 10 -
Moved to The Villages in Florida .
I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever live in that God-forsaken state of New Jersey
