Oblivious to the domestic chit-chat, granddad Guyong Song has serious matters on his mind.
老祖父宋古永置身于天倫之樂(lè)外，尋思著重要的事情。
Spring is a start of the rice growing season. The success of the crop will determine how well the family will eat next year, so planting at the right time is critical.
春季是稻禾生長(zhǎng)的伊始時(shí)節(jié)，莊稼的長(zhǎng)勢(shì)決定了來(lái)年宋家人的生計(jì)，因而選擇合適的時(shí)機(jī)進(jìn)行耕作是至關(guān)重要的。
The ideal date depends on what the weather will do this year, never easy to predict.
時(shí)機(jī)的選擇取決于當(dāng)年的天氣情況，而這些卻是永難估料的。
But there is some surprising help at hand. On the ceiling of the Songs' living room, a pair of red-rumped swallows, newly arrived from their winter migration, is busy fixing up last year's nest.
但是身邊就存在著貼心小幫手：宋家廳堂房梁上的是一對(duì)剛從冬季遷徙中歸來(lái)的金腰燕。他們正在為裝潢新一年度的宅邸而忙碌。
In China, animals are valued as much for their symbolic meaning as for any good they may do.
在中國(guó)，動(dòng)物們被賦予獨(dú)特的象征意義并被細(xì)心呵護(hù)。
Miao people believe that swallow pairs remain faithful for life, so their presence is a favour and a blessing, bringing happiness to a marriage and good luck to a home.
苗族人篤信成雙燕終身相伴不離不棄。因此他們的存在被視為幸福生活與美滿婚姻的象征。
