4. Under the scorching sun, along the road, the ripe grain bends over, bowing its head under the heat. Grasshoppers are as numerous as grass leaves, chirping faintly yet noisily in the wheat and rye fields, amidst the reeds by the riverbank.

8. 嫩蓝的天空，几痕细线连于电杆之间，线上停着几个小黑点，那就是燕子。这多么像正待演奏的曲谱啊！

10. I carefully examined this new friend, who had a glossy black plumage, with only a pair of white spots between the wings and tail, like stars in the night sky; a pair of round, large eyes, where you could even see the eyelashes if you looked closely; and perhaps the most distinctive feature was the pointed, articulate little mouth.

16. The little ducklings were originally extremely cute, with black beaks and fluffy, resembling a clump of chaotic yellow fluff rolling on green grassland, or floating on the still surface of a pond. Although they also chirped, their chirping was not irritating. However, as they grew up, it was different. It seemed as if they were always looking at the world with a sense of pride, with a long-beaked head that always maintained an upright position. Walking, they swayed their fat bodies, and always took deliberate, square steps, giving the impression of a well-read scholar.

29. The white swan, with its red webbed feet, vigorously paddled through the green lake water, its body swaying back and forth like a small boat model.

31. There was not a single cloud in the sky, nor a breath of wind, and a scorching sun hung overhead. All the trees stood there listlessly, lazily.

34. 走进大门，一眼就能看到一个白色瓷砖砌成的游泳池。好大的游泳池啊！多蓝的池水啊！我太激动了，一下子就跳进了池子里！水太深了，我够不到底部。我吓坏了，在水里跳舞起来吧。

34. As I stepped into the door, I could see at a glance a swimming pool made of white tiles. What a huge swimming pool! The pool water is so blue! I was so excited that I jumped into the pool right away! The water was too deep for me to reach the bottom. I was scared, so I started dancing in the water.

35. 舍己忘生、 迷迷糊糊、 生儿育女 、不知所措、 苦苦思索、 摇摇摆摆、融为一体、 随风漂流 、挺脖昂首

35. Self-forgetful, dazed and confused, raising children, at a loss, pondering deeply, wavering, merging into one, drifting with the wind, raising one's neck and looking up.

36. 到了池塘、水沟里，可就是它们的世界啦！有的浮在水上，无拘无束地游着；有的相互追赶，弄得水花四溅；有的倒栽在水里寻找食品，光露个大屁股；有的玩够了，就游到岸边，用嘴梳着羽毛。

36. Once they reach the ponds and ditches, it's their world!

38. 小鸭也诚然可爱，遍身松花黄，放在地上，便蹒跚的走，互相召唤，总是在一处。待到到处蛙鸣的时候，小鸭已经长成，两个白的，两个花的，而且不复咻咻的叫。

38. Indeed, the little ducklings are also cute, with their bodies adorned in pine-forest yellow. Placed on the ground, they wobble and totter, calling to each other, always staying together. By the time frogs are croaking everywhere, the little ducks have grown up, with two white ones and two spotted ones, and they no longer chirp in distress.

41. 鸭子们似乎找到了理想的地点，不急不缓地散开，扩散出一道道波纹荡漾在湖面上。一只忽然静静地停在了湖上，兀自冲入水中，忽又射出水面，摆动双翅；一对半灰半白的翅翼展开，簌簌而落溅起一大圈水花。四周的鸭子都惊慌地散开，硕大的队伍七零八落。那鸭似乎很得意现在的自己，仰起头，挺起胸，趾高气昂地转了一圈，大笑似地吼了几声，满意地歇在了一方水域上——真是一个有趣的家伙。

41. The ducks seemed to have found the ideal spot, spreading out slowly and calmly, creating ripples that荡漾 on the lake surface. One of them suddenly stopped quietly on the lake, plunged into the water all of a sudden, and then shot out of the water, flapping its wings; with half gray and half white wings spread open, they fluttered down, splashing up a large circle of water. The ducks around were startled and scattered, the grand team was scattered in all directions. The duck seemed very pleased with itself, lifted its head, puffed up its chest, turned around proudly, roared a few times in a laughing manner, and settled down in a patch of water contentedly – truly an interesting creature.

43. Many tall catalpa trees grow along the riverbank. In spring, the catalpa trees are full of white flowers, which are edible. Many small flowers playfully fall into the embrace of the river, swimming in the water like snowflakes.

44. 那是十分特别的。甚至在一只鸟当你快淹死的时候救了你的命以后，你依然不喜欢鸟你有什么原因反对鸟类呢？

44. That is very particular. Even after a bird saves your life by pulling you out of the water when you are about to drown, do you still not like birds? What reasons do you have against birds?

48. 这群小鸟长得可爱极了，一个圆圆的小脑袋瓜，胖胖的身体，长长的尾巴，它们很有趣一会儿这只鸟到这棵树上做客，一会儿这只鸟到这棵树上做客，飞来飞去的，都把树林间的气氛搞起来了，顿时，又热闹了起来，大家欢聚一堂的在一起，好像议论什么事情。

48. This group of little birds are incredibly cute, with round little heads, chubby bodies, and long tails. They are very interesting; sometimes this bird visits this tree, and then another bird visits the same tree. They flit around, adding a lively atmosphere to the forest. Suddenly, it got bustling and lively as everyone gathered together, as if discussing something.

49. 小鸭子披了一身黄黄的毛茸茸的毛，有一张扁扁的小嘴，枫叶般的脚蹼，走起路来左摇右摆。假如碰到一个水塘，它立刻会扑从前，跳入水塘，双腿一蹬，钻入水塘，不见了。

49. The little duck is covered with a fluffy yellow coat, has a flat little mouth, and webbed feet like maple leaves. When it walks, it sways from side to side. If it encounters a pond, it will dive in immediately, jump into the pond, kick its legs, dive into the water, and disappear.

50. 憋气是学游泳最基础的一步，基础打好了。接下来，开始学习蛙泳。说实话，学起来并不难，俗话说:99%的努力和1%的智慧可以得到一个好的结果。蛙泳的这个姿势一定是受青蛙的启发，改成了今天的游泳方式。我努力学习。蛙泳经过一段时间的练习，我会游泳了。

50. Holding one's breath is the most fundamental step in learning to swim, and once the foundation is solid. Next, let's start learning the breaststroke. To be honest, it's not difficult to learn; as the saying goes: "99% of effort and 1% of wisdom can yield a good result." The breaststroke's form must have been inspired by the frog, which has been adapted to today's swimming style. I studied hard. After practicing the breaststroke for some time, I learned how to swim.

54. "The ducks know that the river is warming in spring." In the clarified pond, as the ice and snow just begin to melt, a flock of ducks dive into the water with a plop, a plop, bringing the news of spring to the fish, the small grass, and the big willow trees by the shore.

55. 这是多么凉爽清明的秋夜！星星比任何时候都要亮，都要大……就像银灰色的天幕下缀满一颗颗夺 目的宝石，撒下晶莹柔和的光辉，大。

57. 人迹罕至 随风漂流 纹丝不动

57. Uninhabited, adrift with the wind, unmoving.

58. 我家的院子里两只活泼可爱的小鸭子。它们浑身都是**的羽毛，软软的，老远看，就像两团小绒球在地上滚来滚去。小巧玲珑的身体，一双水汪汪的大眼睛，一张扁扁的小嘴，一对又短又小的翅膀，尾巴几乎看不见。细细的小腿，脚上有蹼。像个小姑娘。走起路来一摇一摆的，有时停下来梳理羽毛，叫上两声，再大摇大摆地走过。

58. In our courtyard, there are two lively and cute little ducks. Their feathers are **, soft, and from a distance, they look like two small fluffy balls rolling around on the ground. They have a small and delicate body, a pair of big, watery eyes, a flat little mouth, a pair of short and small wings, and the tail is almost invisible. Their thin little legs have webbed feet. They look like little girls. When they walk, they sway from side to side, and sometimes they stop to preen their feathers, call out a couple of times, and then strut proudly by.

59. 小鸭子经常结伴而行，一起下河嬉水，一起觅食，不像公鸡那样好斗，它们从不争吵，友爱相处，就像好友人一样。

59. The little ducks often travel in groups, playing and swimming in the river together, foraging for food together, unlike roosters that are combative. They never quarrel; they live in harmony, just like good friends.

60. 最后一个音符在里茨饭店的墙上响起回音，盘旋在大公园上空，这是一声伤心的再见。对于波士顿人来说，它意味着夏天结束了。

60. The last note echoed off the walls of the Ritz-Carlton, swirling above the Great Park, a sorrowful farewell. To Bostonians, it meant summer was over.

61. 小鸭子吃饱了就要去游泳，小鸭子生成就会游泳，你可别看它个子小，可它一游起泳来速度可快了，“哗啦！哗啦！”的几下子它就可能在我的大水缸里转了十圈了，小鸭子很爱好玩水，它在玩水的时候，常常爱把头埋进水里上下左右地看，它身上的羽毛是素来都不会粘水的，那是由于鸭子身上的羽毛有油，所以只有有水沾在它身上就会很快的滑下来。

61. Little ducklings go swimming as soon as they have eaten, and they are born knowing how to swim. Don't be fooled by its small size; once it starts swimming, it can be incredibly fast, splashing around in circles in my large water tank in no time. Little ducks love playing in the water. When it's having fun, it often likes to dive its head underwater, looking up, down, left, and right. The feathers on its body have never been water-repellent. This is because the feathers on ducks are oily, so if any water gets on them, it slides off quickly.

62. 这些野鸭子都生着一个金翠色的头，亮晶晶的眼睛，颈上有一圈灰白色的羽毛，就像是每一只野鸭都戴上一串珍珠项圈。

62. These wild ducks all have a golden emerald-colored head, sparkling eyes, and a collar of grayish-white feathers, as if each wild duck were wearing a string of pearl necklaces.

63. 小鸭子摇着两把“扇子”不停的再凉凉的水面上“扇”着，不时还“嘎嘎”的叫两声；小狗有气无力地趴在地上，伸出长长的舌头，口中的粘液慢慢的流到了地上；寂静的田野里，没有一位村民能在酷暑下劳作。空中传来几声鸟鸣，让正在午睡的小狗懒散的睁了睁眼皮。

63. The little ducklings are flapping their two "fans" ceaselessly on the cool water surface, occasionally making "quack" sounds; the little dog, listlessly lying on the ground, sticks out its long tongue, and the sticky saliva from its mouth slowly drips onto the ground; in the quiet countryside, not a single villager can work under the scorching heat. A few bird calls in the air make the little dog, who is taking a nap, lazily flutter its eyelids.

64. 海鸥闪电般从云端俯冲下来，在接近水面的一刹那，突然像羽毛一样轻盈地飘落。

64. The seagull dived down like lightning from the clouds, and at the moment of approaching the water surface, it suddenly descended as lightly as a feather.
