今天给大家分享的绘本是《The busy tree》一颗忙碌的大树
作者：Jennifer Ward
I’m a tree, a busy tree…
come and see
我是一棵树，一颗很忙碌的树…
来看看吧
These are my roots, winding and long;
they anchor and feed me and help me grow strong.
这些是我的根须，蜿蜒而长
他们锚定我，给予我养分，让我成长壮大
Look at my acorns, shiny and round,
nibbled by chipmunks who scratch at the ground
看我的橡子，又圆又亮
被抓地的花栗鼠咬了一口
Here is my trunk, where busy ants scurry,
searching for food as they march in a hurry
这是我的树根，忙碌的蚂蚁在这里匆匆忙忙，
在他们匆忙行军时寻找食物
This is the spider that lives in my bark,
spinning web from dawn until dark
这是住在我树上的蜘蛛，
从早到晚都在织网
A woodpecker searches, eager to munch,
tapping for bugs it will eat for its lunch
啄木鸟搜寻着，渴望咀嚼，
敲打着树干里的虫子，当午餐吃的虫子
Visit my hollow that is home to an owl
he sleeps all day long, then at night starts to prowl
参观我的洞穴，那是一只猫头鹰的家
它整天睡觉，然后晚上开始猎食
These are my branches, leafy and high
a sidewalk for squirrels that soar through the sky
这些是我的树枝，枝繁叶茂
一只松鼠在空中飞翔的道
One of my branches cradles a nest,
a cozy, warm home where new hatchlings rest
我的一根树枝上有一个巢，
一个舒适温暖的家，新孵化的幼仔在此休息
Look at this small twig that holds a cocoon,
protecting a moth that will emerge soon
看看这根结茧的小树枝，
保护即将破茧而出的飞蛾
Hear my green leaves as they shake in the wind
breathing out air for all to breathe in
听到我的绿叶在风中摇曳
呼出空气让所有人呼吸
These are my boughs that creak, bend, and sway,
shading the children below as they play
这些是我的树枝，吱吱作响，弯曲，摇摆，
为树下玩耍的孩子们遮阴
