Of all the birds of our groves and meadows, the bobolink was the envy of my boyhood.
北美森林莽莽草原上所有鸟类,食米鸟是我孩提时代最为嫉妒的鸟。
So, when she says: " The bobolinks begun" , it means they started chattering and making a noise, and singing, and probably going off to find food; insects and things, because that's what birds do when the sun rises.
所以,当她说:“the bobolinks beginning”时,意思是它们开喋喋不休, 发出噪音,唱歌,可能还出去寻找食物; 昆虫之类的, 因为那是鸟儿
太阳升起时所做的。
The slender tops fairly flapped and swished in the passionate torrent, bending and swirling backward and forward, round and round, tracing indescribable combinations of vertical and horizontal curves, while I clung with muscles firm braced, like a bobolink on a reed.
细长的陀螺热情的激流中拍打着,嗖嗖地向后和向前弯曲和旋转,一圈又一圈,描绘出垂直和水平曲线的难以形容的组合,而我紧紧抓住肌肉,紧紧地支撑着,就像芦苇上的bobolink。
