Hint:
Harvest time was the best time of the year. That was when each family would haul in the produce of their hard work and fill their habitations with food and celebration. The harsh winter was long forgotten and the hardy folk of the countryside had reason to celebrate.The nearby town always took part in the celebrations of harmony as well. Farmer's wives came in to buy new hairdressing, local boys ceased to harass the country boys and the pretty girls no longer harbored disdain for a young man in blue jeans. Many plans for secret meetings in the woods were hatched. In other parts of town local police were able to handle brawls, relieved for a season of just dealing with simple fights over nothing at all.
收割季節(jié)是一年中的最好時間。這時候,各家各戶都將往家里運(yùn)送他們辛勤勞動的果實(shí),他們的住處不僅裝滿了食物,而且裝滿了歡樂。嚴(yán)酷的寒冬早已被拋諸腦后,吃苦耐勞的鄉(xiāng)下人有理由慶祝一番。附近的城鎮(zhèn)也總是加入到和諧的慶?;顒又衼怼^r(nóng)婦們來這里購買新的美發(fā)劑,當(dāng)?shù)啬泻⒁膊辉衮}擾鄉(xiāng)下男孩,而漂亮的女孩對穿藍(lán)色牛仔褲的小伙子也不再心懷蔑視。許多人都在籌劃著在林中幽會。在鎮(zhèn)上的其他地方,地方警察能夠應(yīng)付打架這種事——這段時間只需處理一些無事生非的一般性打架爭吵,警察因此也可以松口氣。
