“欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜。”苏东坡的名句令我对杭州西湖神往。爸爸妈妈为了满足我的心愿，抓住暑假的”尾巴”，带上我和妹妹一起出发去人间天堂杭州西湖。
To compare West Lake to Xizi, light and heavy makeup are always suitable. "Su Dongpo's famous line made me yearn for West Lake in Hangzhou. My parents, in order to fulfill my wish, seized the "tail" of summer vacation and took me and my sister to set off for the earthly paradise of West Lake in Hangzhou.
我们来到西湖边，看见一座灰白色的桥横跨湖面，我想知道这是什么桥，便问爸爸，爸爸说：“这是断桥，每年春暖花开的时候，积雪融化，露出一段段桥身，故得美名‘断桥残雪’。”
We arrived at the West Lake and saw a gray white bridge spanning the lake. I wanted to know what kind of bridge it was, so I asked my dad. He said, "This is a broken bridge. Every spring when the flowers bloom, the snow melts, revealing sections of the bridge body, hence the beautiful name 'Broken Bridge Residual Snow'
走过断桥，便来到了白堤。白堤这个长长的堤岸被西湖围绕着。堤上绿柳婆娑，红荷亭亭，树木在地上投下长长的影子。坐在树荫下，感受微风佛过脸庞，真惬意！
After crossing the broken bridge, we arrived at Baidi. The long embankment of Baidi is surrounded by West Lake. Green willows sway on the embankment, red lotus pavilions stand tall, and trees cast long shadows on the ground. Sitting under the shade of a tree, feeling the gentle breeze passing over your face, it's really relaxing!
空中飘起了雨丝，我们来到平湖秋月。我坐在湖边，用手捧起一捧西湖水洒在我身边的那片很大的荷叶上，只见一颗颗水珠在荷叶上滚来滚去像一颗颗晶莹剔透的珍珠，也像一个个淘气的孩童在地上打着滚儿，它们最后跑到荷叶中间，“凝结”成了一个“大水晶”。
Raindrops floated in the sky, and we arrived at Pinghu Autumn Moon. I sat by the lake, holding a handful of West Lake water and sprinkling it on the large lotus leaf next to me. I saw water droplets rolling back and forth on the leaf, like sparkling pearls or mischievous children rolling on the ground. They finally ran to the middle of the leaf and "condensed" into a "big crystal".
雨越下越大，我们撑着伞来到了曲院风荷赏莲。你瞧，荷叶这儿一丛，那儿一簇，挤满了整个荷塘，令人心旷神怡。碧绿的荷叶丛中亭亭玉立的荷花像一个个披着轻纱在湖上沐浴的仙女。一阵风吹来，荷花就翩翩起舞，迎风摇曳，那形貌千姿百态，妙不可言。我缓步靠近，一阵淡淡的幽香袭人而来，沁人心脾。徜徉在荷花的海洋中，陶醉在荷花的香气中，不禁让我想起了“接天连叶无穷碧，映日荷花别样红”这句诗。雨过天晴，水面倒映出了断桥、绿柳、红荷、树木……真是“水光潋滟晴方好”啊！
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and we came to Quyuan with umbrellas to enjoy the lotus flowers. Look, there are clusters of lotus leaves here and there, filling the entire lotus pond, making people feel relaxed and happy. The lotus flowers standing tall among the emerald green lotus leaves resemble fairies bathing on the lake, draped in light veils. When a gust of wind blows, lotus flowers dance gracefully and sway in the wind, with various shapes and forms that are indescribable. I approached slowly, and a faint fragrance wafted in, refreshing my heart and soul. Strolling in the ocean of lotus flowers, intoxicated by the fragrance of lotus flowers, I couldn't help but think of the poem 'Embracing the sky with endless green leaves, reflecting the sun with lotus flowers in a unique red color'. After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the water reflected broken bridges, green willows, red lotus flowers, and trees... It's really 'the only way to have a clear and sparkling water'!
西湖有许多美丽的景色，说也说不尽，希望你有机会去细细游赏。
There are many beautiful sceneries in West Lake, which cannot be described in detail. I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy them carefully.
