Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.
那一年的秋天似乎突然就到了。九月的第一天早晨秋高气爽,金黄得像一个苹果。
——J.K.罗琳,《哈利·波特与死亡圣器》
Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.
寒冬是刻版画、春季是水彩、盛夏是油画,而秋日则是集结了他们的马赛克。
– Stanley Horowitz (美国诗人)
It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.
整个世界像是包裹在淋着红糖和肉桂的馅饼皮里。
——莎拉·艾迪森·艾伦,《初霜》
I loved autumn, the one season of the year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it.
我爱秋天,一个象是上帝存粹为了美而创造的季节。

I see the turning of a leaf dancing in an autumn sun, and brilliant shades of crimson glowing when a day is done.
我看见飘落的叶子在阳光下起舞,在日落时转红。

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
秋天是另一个春天,秋天的每一片叶子都是一朵小花。

秋天的口袋里,比其他季节收藏着更多金黄色。

Every leaf speaks bliss to me,fluttering from the autumn tree.
每一片飘落的秋叶,都在向我诉说着狂喜。
——艾米莉·勃朗特
We cling to our own point of view,as though everything depended on it.Yet our opinions have no permanence;like autumn and winter,they gradually pass away.
夫天下莫大于秋豪之末,而太山为小;莫寿乎殇子,而彭祖为夭。天地与我并生,而万物与我为一。
——庄子
