六年级给我回帖，问我温哥华老是那么阴雨绵绵的，会不会像西雅图一样，人们会得抑郁症？

我是这样回他的：

对下雨和天阴阴，我第一个想法是感恩，没有了冬天的雨季，那有BC省的蓬勃林木业，提供了不少人的相关就业，让他们可以幸福生活。
我在这里也写过：没有雨云，那会天降甘霖，没有天降甘霖，那有青翠的树木和绿草如茵。
抑鬱症，我相信是和个人的人生观有很大关系。因此，上天会安排象我们这样乐观的人，来到这个世界调剂一下。

答应和大家分享"Vancouver In The Rain" 这首诗，让我们先看图。

“Vancouver In The Rain”              Regan D’ Andrade.   December,1999

Vancouver is famous for its rain. It can rain here for weeks on end, but it does not usually bother me. However, several years ago I found myself coming close to being thoroughly disgusted with the rain.

I walked home from work one evening in the pouring rain, mumbling under my breath the whole way that this weather was only suited to ducks. The building I lived in was large and square, and it surrounded a brick courtyard. I came around the corner into the courtyard and there, to my amazement, was a beautiful Peking duck in a huge puddle in the middle of the courtyard, quacking and splashing with obvious delight I had to smile, glad that such joy could be found in the gray wetness of such a day.

I have often thought that we do not have nearly enough words for the rain, especially as this was once a rainforest. There is booming rain, whispery rain, rain that lulls you to sleep, and rain on the leaves which sings you awake: there is soft rain, hard rain, sideways rain, rain that makes you instantly wet, and rain that leaves soft kisses on your cheek, like the wings of a butterfly.

Rain brings us all the shades of gray, but it also brings us the wonderful greenery that surrounds us and blesses us.

++++Regan D'Andrade is a writer of poetry and prose who has been honored by the City of Vancouver by being published in “A Hurricane in the Basement” and inscribed on a Story Stone at Kits Point created for the City of Vancouver Millenium Project.

上面一段，就是唯一在网上可以找到有关Regan的资料。

不想用我粗糙的文字破坏Regan美妙的诗句，因此没有翻译成中文。也许，你们可以帮我这忙。

这诗用了很现实生活的简单词句，说明了每种环境之下，都有美丽的事物……………… 等待我们去发现和欣赏！

这些都让我更坚信人生是美丽和快乐的！
