　　The Countryside in Summer

　　Summer has come, with its warm sunny days, making us thing of all sorts of nice things, such as holidays in the country, picnics and haymaking①parties.

　　When Spring came, she found the earth cold and bare, but she soon changed all that, and by the time Summer arrives, the world is a very different place. It is a green world now, green leaves on the trees, green grass in the fields, green plants crowding in the hedges②， and flowers opening everywhere.

　　The days are long and the nights are short, for the sun gets up early and goes to bed late in sunny June. It is one of the best and brightest months in the year. Birds sing from sunrise till long after sunset.

　　As night falls, one after another the birds stop their singing, and after a few last sleepy sounds, put their heads under their wings to rest for an hour or two before beginning again. They do not all sleep, however. When other birds are silent, comes a soft cry, then, after a few moments, another, louder this time; and soon the nightingale③ pouring out his wonderful song.

　　Not only at night does the nightingale sing. On almost every warm day in early June, the little brown bird sings away in the roads and woods, but, as all the other birds are also singing at the same time, we do not notice his voice so much. It is at night, when he has the field all to himself, that we hear the nightingale at his best.　​

　　夏天的乡村

　　夏天来了，带着温暖的阳光明媚的日子，让我们想起了各种美好的事情，如在国家法定节假日，野餐和干草①方。

　　当春天来临时，她发现大地寒冷而光秃秃的，但她很快就改变了这一切，而且到了夏天到来的时候，世界变得完全不同了。现在是一片绿色的世界，树木上的绿叶，田野上的绿草，篱笆上的绿色植物，到处都是鲜花的开放。

　　白天很长，夜晚很短，因为太阳在六月初起得很早，睡得很晚。这是一年中最好最亮的`月份之一。鸟儿从日出到日落后歌唱。

　　夜幕降临时，鸟儿们一个接一个地停止歌唱，几声最后的睡意过后，把头放在翅膀下休息了一两个小时，然后又开始了。然而，他们并不都睡觉。当其他的鸟都沉默了，来了一个柔软的哭泣，然后，几分钟后，另一个响亮的时间;很快夜莺③倾吐着美妙的歌。

　　夜莺不仅在夜里歌唱。在六月初的每一个温暖的日子里，棕色的小鸟在路上和树林里歌唱，但是，当其他的鸟儿同时歌唱的时候，我们并没有注意到他的声音。就是在夜晚，当他拥有了属于自己的田野时，我们才听到夜莺在他最好的。
