追捉蝴蝶(4)
Chase and catch butterflies
I looked up and there it was, about a metre away, settled o one of the big scarlet flowers.我抬头一看,那只美丽的蝴蝶,距我大约只有一米之遥,驻足在一朵巨大的猩红色花上。
The question is often asked whether every butterfly makes the round trip journey every year. 人们常问,是否每只蝴蝶每年都要往返。
But not one butterfly finishes the whole round-trip.
然而,没有一只蝴蝶能完成整个往返的旅程。
Where does the butterfly settle at the end of the migration?
蝴蝶在迁徙结束时在哪里定居?
A little farther off, another man lay slumbering, rolled in a brown cloak,
离这儿不远,又有一个男人躺在那儿,裹着一领棕色的斗篷睡觉,
with a butterfly hovering above his face.
还有一只蝴蝶在脸上飞舞呢。
The other fellow awoke, rolled over,
另一个睡着的人醒了,翻了个身,
brushed away the butterfly, and looked about him.
