圣诞的真正含义.pptVIP

Across the street sat an old man. His hair was soft and white. His face was aged - with lines of time. His eyes were deep and dark. He reached by his side. He lifted his warm bottle of drink to his cold mouth. It tasted good on a cold night like this. 在大街的拐角之处，坐着一位老人。他头发乱蓬蓬的并且发白了，他的脸上布满了皱纹——显示出了时光的年轮。他的双眼深陷眼窝，但依旧发黑。他侧卧在地上。他将稍微有些热的瓶子中的水向冰冷的口中倒去。在这样的寒冷之夜，能够这样已经感觉很好了。 He counted his day’s earnings. Not bad.
