原文
天氣一天比一天寒冷。北海公園的湖上已經結了厚厚的冰層，馬路兩旁樹木上的葉子已經落盡了，只有光禿禿的樹枝在寒風中瑟瑟顫抖著。北平已被強大的人民解放軍包圍，城門緊閉，糧食、蔬菜、魚肉都運不進來。我們吃著早已準備的醬蘿蔔，有時也用黃豆泡豆芽。
官方參考譯文
It was getting colder with each passing day. The lake in Beihai Park was covered with a thick layer of ice. The roadside trees had been stripped oftheir foliage, leaving their bare branches and twigs shivering in the biting wind. Peiping had been besieged by the powerful PLA forces. The city gates were shut tight and supplies of grain, vegetables, fish and meat were cut off. We had to make do with the pickled turnips we had laid in longbeforehand and sometimes ate home-grown soybean sprouts instead.
