Sample Sentences
不知怎的,当我走到学校湖边的时候,感觉格外地冷。我下意识地裹紧了外套,突然发现,有一个背影在沿着湖边慢慢地走着。一种莫名的冲动驱使着我向这个背影走去。渐渐地,渐渐地,越来越近,竟然是她!那个清秀的背影,那乌黑的头发和麻花辫!当我走近她时,发现她低着头在抽泣。
I'm not sure why, but when I got the school lake, I felt a weird chill. Subconsciously, I pulled my jacket around tighter. Suddenly, I noticed the back of a girl as she was slowly walking along the lakeside in front of me. A unexplainable impulse came over me and I started walking towards her, gradually getting closer and closer. As I approached, I saw that it was her! That elegant view of her back. That raven-black hair in a braid! Then, when I got closer, I realized her head was hung low and she was sobbing.
