Early summer days are a jubilee time for birds.
初夏的日子对于小鸟来说是个喜庆时节。
In the fields, around the house, in the barn, in the woods, in the swamp
田野上，房子周围，谷仓里，林子里，沼地里
everywhere love and songs and nests and eggs.
到处是小鸟在谈情说爱，在唱歌，到处是鸟窝，是鸟蛋。

From the edge of the woods,the white-throated sparrow (which must come all the way from Boston) calls,
在林边，白喉带鹀（一定是远自波士顿飞来的）大叫：
"Oh, Peabody, Peabody, Peabody!"
“噢，皮博迪，皮博迪，皮博迪！”
On an apple bough, the phoebe teeters and wags its tail and says, "Phoebe, phoe-bee!"
在一根苹果树枝上，那东菲比霸鹟摇头摆尾，说：“菲比，菲——比！”
The song sparrow, who knows how brief and lovely life is,
知道生命有多短促和可爱的歌雀
says, "Sweet, sweet, sweet interlude; sweet, sweet, sweet interlude."
说：“甜滋滋、甜滋滋、甜滋滋的插曲；甜滋滋、甜滋滋、甜滋滋的插曲！”
If you enter the barn, the swallows swoop down from their nests and scold.
你一走进谷仓，燕子就会从它们的窝里飞下来责备你
"Cheeky, cheeky!" they say.
说：“放肆，放肆！”
