By-and-by the primrose peeps out from its crisp crinkled leaves, and then it sings more cheerily still.

過了一會，櫻花草從新鮮卷曲的葉子中抽出嫩芽的時候，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之際；當(dāng)玉米田變成金色，蘋果成熟變紅，葉子褪色，果實掉落的時候，

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_心聲，替我們感謝上帝。感謝上帝讓夏天開慢美麗的花朵，讓秋天載滿成熟的果實。

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)朝陽升起時，它一定會飛起來迎接晨光，

It sings at intervals all the day long;

在一天里它時時歌唱。

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：它其實只是很簡單地在草地上，用干秸稈和一些青草搭成的一個小洞穴，

and there it lays five or six dark mottled brown eggs.

在這里面它會生下五到六枚深棕色帶斑點的蛋。

It chooses its situation in the meadow or clover-field, or even on the open down.

它會自己選擇產(chǎn)蛋的位置，有時在草甸里，有時在三葉草草叢里，甚至有時在開闊的地上。

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，它們的鳥窩并不像你認(rèn)為的那么好找，即使找到了鳥窩，也很難在同一個地方再次找到它。
