bright trace meaning in English

亮痕迹

My wretched feet , flayed and swollen to lameness by the sharp air of january , began to heal and subside under the gentler breathings of april ; the nights and mornings no longer by their canadian temperature froze the very blood in our veins ; we could now endure the play - hour passed in the garden : sometimes on a sunny day it began even to be pleasant and genial , and a greenness grew over those brown beds , which , freshening daily , suggested the thought that hope traversed them at night , and left each morning brighter traces of her steps
积雪已融化，刺骨的寒风不再那般肆虐，在四月和风的吹拂下，我那双曾被一月的寒气剥去了一层皮，红肿得一拐一拐的可怜的脚，已开始消肿和痊愈。夜晚和清晨不再出现加拿大式的低气温，险些把我们血管里的血冻住。现在我们己受得了花园中度过的游戏的时刻。
