read of the desert

The picture in color on the other side was of a desert broken up by some parched hills without any hint of vegetation or sign of life, the name of the place in characters I could not read.

另一面的图片是关于一片辽阔的沙漠，远处有几座光秃秃的山，没有任何生命。但我不知道在哪里，因为不认识上面标明了地点的汉字。

I cannot now remember why I gave that answer, perhaps because I had recently read a book by a Nobel Laureate or perhaps because the Desert Island celebrity of that day had been a famous writer.

我现在记不起为什么我会说这么一个答案，可能是因为我那时候刚读了一本由诺贝尔文学奖得主写的书，或者是那天的名人正好是个著名作家。

Woman looked up at the sky, think back to the past and the king of the day and night more Happy, can Saibei Smoke in the desert, how to read the south of the bridges.

女子抬头仰望苍穹，遥想昔日与君朝朝暮暮多逍遥，可塞北的大漠孤烟，又怎能读懂江南的小桥流水。
