AUTUMN

Tiny little parachutes

Dropping through the air --

Fluffy seeds of thistledown

Are flying everywhere.

Lots of little aeroplanes

Spinning down the sky --

Brownish seeds of sycamore

Are whirling, whirling by.

The air is full of autumn things --

Leaves of red and brown,

Acorns, berries, nuts and seeds,

All tumbling, tumbling down.

  秋天

小小可爱的降落伞

从天而降――

蓟花毛茸茸的种子

到处飞翔。

许多可爱的小飞机

从天空向下旋冲――

大枫树褐色的种子

在翻滚转动。

天空满是秋天的景象――

各种树叶红褐相间，

橡子，浆果，坚果，种子

都在翻滚落降。
