The wind sang up in the oak trees on the block and banged the blinds against the side of the house.

风在街区的橡树中呼啸而过， 把百叶窗撞在房子的一侧。

There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table and sang up until a few minutes before midnight.

离新年还有几个小时，大家围坐在饭桌边唱到午夜前几分钟。
