By-and-by the primrose peeps out from its crisp crinkled leaves, and then it sings more cheerily still.
過(guò)了一會(huì)，櫻花草從新鮮卷曲的葉子中抽出嫩芽的時(shí)候，云雀更加起勁地歡唱。
Then comes the honey-suckle, then the wild-rose of summer; the corn-fields turn yellow, the apples grow red, the leaves fade and presently fall.
隨后是忍冬，再后面是夏日野玫瑰的盛開(kāi)之際；當(dāng)玉米田變成金色，蘋果成熟變紅，葉子褪色，果實(shí)掉落的時(shí)候，
All the while the sky-lark sings on, and its song blends with every season;
云雀都在繼續(xù)歌唱，它的歌聲與每個(gè)季節(jié)相合，
it seems to say out for us what we feel in our hearts, and to thank God for us for the summer flowers and the autumn fruits.
似乎在替我們?nèi)祟惐磉_(dá)心聲，替我們感謝上帝。感謝上帝讓夏天開(kāi)慢美麗的花朵，讓秋天載滿成熟的果實(shí)。
The sky-lark is an early riser; it makes a point of springing up to greet the morning sun.
云雀早上起得很早，當(dāng)朝陽(yáng)升起時(shí)，它一定會(huì)飛起來(lái)迎接晨光，
It sings at intervals all the day long;
在一天里它時(shí)時(shí)歌唱。
and, as the sun sinks in the west it sinks down too, into its grassy home, to begin the day again just the same to-morrow.
當(dāng)太陽(yáng)西沉?xí)r，它也隨之降落，飛入在草地上的家，準(zhǔn)備著日復(fù)一日第二天的生活。
For a nest, it simply lines a hole in the ground with dry stalks and bits of grass;
云雀的窩是這樣的：它其實(shí)只是很簡(jiǎn)單地在草地上，用干秸稈和一些青草搭成的一個(gè)小洞穴，
and there it lays five or six dark mottled brown eggs.
在這里面它會(huì)生下五到六枚深棕色帶斑點(diǎn)的蛋。
It chooses its situation in the meadow or clover-field, or even on the open down.
它會(huì)自己選擇產(chǎn)蛋的位置，有時(shí)在草甸里，有時(shí)在三葉草草叢里，甚至有時(shí)在開(kāi)闊的地上。
Yet the nest is not so often found as you may suppose; and even if once found. it is difficult to hit upon the same spot again.
然而，它們的鳥(niǎo)窩并不像你認(rèn)為的那么好找，即使找到了鳥(niǎo)窩，也很難在同一個(gè)地方再次找到它。
