the psalm of grasshoppers
when the cicadas’ chorus reaches the coda,
the grasshoppers join the cantata,
the melody of the pastoral is so interesting,
all birds stop singing and keep listening.
yes, in singing songs, grasshoppers take the lead,
in catching insects, they are brave in the mead--
from hedge to hedge, they recite the hymn of the nature,
from garden to garden, they sing the aria of the future.
chirp, chirp, and their tunes are not shrill,
but clear and melodious from hill to hill,
their songs are the poetry of earth, and give us pleasure,
their songs are the sonata of nature, and let us rapture.
but they are nearly extinct by the agricultural chemical,
the summer becomes terribly silent and abnormal,
don’t not fold our arms, and please do something,
to save the maestros, the lovely little things…
蝈蝈礼赞
当蝉的共鸣接近尾声,
蝈蝈加入了大合唱。
田园曲的旋律是如此美妙,
鸟儿静下来,倾听这优美的交响。
是啊,在声乐方面,蝈蝈是主角和领唱,
在捕捉害虫方面,蝈蝈战绩辉煌。
篱笆下,蝈蝈朗诵着大自然的赞美诗,
花园里,蝈蝈把咏叹调高歌引吭。
嘟嘟, 嘟嘟, 他们的音色不尖利刺耳,
反而像天籁之声,清脆悠扬。
他们的歌声,是地球之诗,给我们快乐,
他们的合唱,是大地奏鸣曲,使我们舒畅。
但是,农业化学使他们濒临灭绝,
这个夏天如此寂静,很不正常。
请不要袖手旁观,快快行动起来,
拯救这些音乐家,避免他们全部消亡……
