The dawn chorus used to wake me up every morning when i was in the country 过去我在乡下时,每天早晨都在众鸟齐鸣中醒来。
On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of scores of bird voices there was now no sound ; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh 那曾在每个早晨随著破晓合唱的鸟叫声已不复存在;只有寂静横躺在原野间,树林中,以及沼泽上。
On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins , catbirds , doves , jays , wrens , and scores of other bird voices there was now no sound 清晨,知更,猫鸟,野鸽,松鸦,鹪鹩,还有各种其它鸟声曾经在黎明时分形成大合唱,出现一派勃勃生机的清晨,现在已是毫无声息了。
