People hurry by with focused eyes, walking briskly to catch their rides and get home sooner to the embrace of air conditioning. Yet on my way to and from work, I remain enchanted by the myriad flowers and greenery. Whenever I come across a bloom, I can't help but stop in my tracks to admire it and take photos endlessly. To me, the dullness of summer comes alive through the vibrant presence of these flowers.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">?</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">今天下班在校園碰到這些花。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">它們叫馬薄荷（Monarda fistulosa），這些花兒生的甚是奇妙，獨(dú)特。它的葉子對生，邊緣有鋸齒，揉搓后有強(qiáng)烈的類似薄荷的香味，所以又叫野薄荷（Wild Bergamot）。沒想到，薄荷能開出如此美麗的花。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">?</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">After work today, I came across these flowers on campus.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">They are called Monarda fistulosa, or wild bergamot. These blossoms are truly fascinating and unique. The leaves grow in opposite pairs with serrated edges, and when rubbed, they release a strong mint-like fragrance—hence the nickname wild mint.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">I never expected that mint could bloom into such beautiful flowers.</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">馬薄荷淡紫色、淡粉色的花，與其它的有著規(guī)則形狀花瓣的花極不相同，野薄荷底部從花心伸出一條條小彩帶，略帶散亂感的垂下，形成一個(gè)小噴泉樣花盤?；ㄐ墓軤钕蛏希?xì)長如絲帶狀，頂端變?yōu)榧?xì)絲，像個(gè)伸出雙臂跳舞的金發(fā)女郎。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">The flowers of wild bergamot bloom in soft shades of lavender and pale pink, and they look strikingly different from many other flowers with neatly arranged petals. From the center of each blossom, delicate, ribbon-like strands extend outward and droop slightly in a seemingly untamed fashion, forming a flower head that resembles a tiny fountain. The tubular flower cores rise upward—slender and ribbon-like—ending in fine filaments, like golden-haired dancers with arms outstretched in mid-twirl.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">?</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">此花極受蜜蜂蝴蝶歡迎，因此又稱蜜蜂香草（Bee Balm）。現(xiàn)在滿園蜜蜂飛來飛去，盡情享受著花兒的芬芳，大快朵頤它們的營養(yǎng)。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"><span class="ql-cursor">?</span></span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px; color:rgb(176, 79, 187);">?</span><span style="font-size:20px;">This flower is a favorite of bees and butterflies, which is why it's also known as bee balm.
