谈天

wǒ fā xiàn wǒ gēn yī gè zhù zài hú nà bian de péng you gé hú tán tiān jiǎn zhí shì yī zhǒng liǎo bu dé de shē chǐ

我发现我跟一个住在湖那边的朋友隔湖谈天，简直是一种了不得的奢侈。

I have found it a singular luxury to talk across the pond to a companion on the opposite side.

tā men yòng tí dēng zhì zào chū rén zào de lí míng chī zhe huáng yóu miàn bāo tán tiān shuō dì

他们用提灯制造出人造的黎明，吃着黄油面包，谈天说地。

They made an artificial morning with the lantern, some bread and butter, and their own conversation.
