1. The cuckoo sang, and the lark caroled, for it was now beautiful spring.
布谷鸟低吟,云雀高歌,因为现在是美丽的春天。
2. We should have ceased our songs as soon as the streamlet caroled less musically over its rocky bed; and with harps swinging on the willows, we should have paced to and fro upon the withering grass, lost in pensive thought.
当水流潺潺的声音稍为减少了一些的时候,我们感谢赞美的歌声可能早就停止了;我们会将歌颂神的乐器丢在柳树枝上,自己却在枯黄的草地上踏来踏去,焦虑得像失去了魂一般。
