Sample Sentences
有时是一张照片,有时是一首歌,有时是视线末端的画面,有时甚至只是一个眼神,它们都会逼我回去看,看我失去的东西,那恋恋不舍的爱情。

我像平时一样上了班车找了个窗口座位坐下,掏出耳机正准备带上。不经意间,发现了在我前面,与我隔一个座位,坐着一个女孩。虽然是背对着我,但清秀的背影引起了我对她的无限遐想。特别是她那乌黑的头发和麻花辫,还有辫子末端的红头绳,非常别致脱俗。班车过了两站她就下车了。但这一路上,我睡意全无,连到站下车的时候还在揣测她的样貌。
I boarded the bus as usual and found a window seat. I sat down, got out my earphones and was getting ready to put them in. Then, suddenly, I realized there was a girl sitting one seat ahead of me. Even though I was sitting behind her, just the elegant view of her back was enough to draw me into an unending daydream. In particular, it was her raven-black hair. It was pulled back into a single braid with a red hair-tie fastened onto the end. It was so unique yet refined. After the bus had gone only two stops, she got off. That time around, I couldn't sleep at all. Until the very last stop I still was guessing at what she might look like.
