The bus rode on the ascending circling highway. I looked outside and saw shining white trees.  I knew the Firmiana trees were blooming.  Summer was there.
汽車經過環山公路，抬眼望青翠山林中許多雪白的樹，就知道梧桐花開了，夏天到了。

Every summer I looked at the Firmiana and fell in love with its white bloom.  I step out of the bus and looked from the foot of the hill. The verdant trees were full of white flowers.  I thought it was the first snow of Mountain Ho Huan. 
每年夏天，總是遙遙望見山上梧桐花，喜歡它那種潔白的美麗。

Finally I had a chance to go to the mountain when the Firmiana was in full bloom.  It was a romantic to go to the mountain just to look at flowers.
終於有機會走入山中，正式梧桐花盛開時節，專程登山賞花，可以說是一種浪漫的情懷。

The mountain was not high, but the path was rather rugged.  Trees were verdant.  Birds sang.  A cool breeze made the climbing bearable.  The guide was from a local farm, and he climbed with ease. 
山不高，山徑卻很崎嶇，但見群樹蒼翠，鳥鳴悅耳，微風清涼，倒也不覺得山路難行。帶路的朋友來自農家，腳程比我輕快得多。

My friend told me the Firmiana flowers were the easiest to destroy.  One shower would fall them to the ground.I picked up a Firmiana flower from the ground and thought of its as rain.
朋友對我說梧桐花最容易掉落，一場風雨過後，花朵就紛紛墜落塵埃。

  The flowers would fall into the mountain streams or on the grass slope, after a year's preparation, a very short time of glory.  But there would be another year, another season.
花瓣飄落在山澗，飄落在草叢，……努力了一季，只有短暫繁華。不過，花樹生生不息，明年還會再開。

Flowers bloom and flowers fade, "The trees bloom steady. Humans are not constant.  The flowers chase men to old age.  People are sad but flowers go on blooming."
花開花落，倒使我想起一首孟郊詩：「樹有百年花，人無一定顏，花送人老盡，人悲花自閒。」

It would be better that I did not think too much and just made an appointment with myself to come and see next year's flowering.
別想得太多，還是先約定明年，再來看花吧！
