节选《怀特先生的自然历史》

Swifts on a fine morning in May, flying this way, that way sailing around at a great height perfectly happily. Then...

Then one leaps onto the back of another, grasps tightly and forgetting to fly, they both sink down and down in a great, dying fall fathom after fathom, until the female utters.

The female utters a loud, piercing cry of ecstasy.

五月的清晨 小雨燕飞来飞去

它们在高空中嬉戏玩耍 然后

然后一只跳到另一只身上 紧抓住不放

它忘记了飞翔 一同往下坠落

越落越深 直到雌鸟发出

雌鸟发出一声尖厉的叫声 声音充满了愉悦
