Summer is the second season in a year. I love summer very much. In summer, it’s hot, and sometimes it’s rainy. People wear T-shirts, shorts and sunglasses. Girls love to wear dresses and skirts.
夏姑娘像個孩子，經常變臉。一會兒碧空如洗，驕陽似火；一會兒天低雲暗，電閃雷鳴；一會瓢潑大雨，傾盆滂沱；一會兒瀟瀟雨歇，虹橋飛架南北。不過，在樹林的小鳥卻不在意夏姑娘的脾氣，他們每天心情都很好，白天晚上輪流歌唱。今天我為你朗讀一首關於夏天的英文短文，希望你能喜歡。
When Spring came, she found the earth cold and bare, but she soon changed all that, and by the time Summer arrives, the world is a very different place. It is a green world now, green leaves on the trees, green grass in the fields, green plants crowding in the hedges and flowers opening everywhere.
夏天伴著它那溫暖的明媚陽光而來，使我們想起了各種美好的事情：在農村的度假，野餐活動，還有那翻曬乾草時節的聚會……
The days are long and the nights are short, for the sun gets up early and goes to bed late in sunny June. It is one of the best and brightest months in the year. Birds sing from sunrise till long after sunset.
白天長了，夜晚短了;在明媚的六月裡，太陽早早起床，很晚才入睡。這是一年裡最美好最有生機的一個月。鳥兒從太陽升起一直唱到太陽落山以後才停息。
As night falls, one after another the birds stop their singing, and after a few last sleepy sounds, put their heads under their wings to rest for an hour or two before beginning again. They do not all sleep, however. When other birds are silent, comes a soft cry, then, after a few moments, another, louder this time; and soon the nightingal pouring out his wonderful song.
每當夜幕降臨之時，鳥兒們相繼停止歌唱，在此開唱前的一輛小時裡，都把腦袋埋在翅膀下休息。然而並非全體隊員都會休息，寂靜之中總會傳來溫柔的低鳴，過了一會，聲音變大，最後夜鶯們終於放開歌喉，夜曲肆意流轉。
Not only at night does the nightingale sing. On almost every warm day in early June, the little brown bird sings away in the roads and woods, but, as all the other birds are also singing at the same time, we do not notice his voice so much. It is at night, when he has the field all to himself, that we hear the nightingale at his best.
夜鶯不只在夜晚鳴叫，其實在六月初溫暖的每一天，每一條小徑上，每一片林子裡都迴蕩著他們的歌聲。其他鳥兒也在同樣的時間裡打開嗓子，所以人們也就並未沒注意到夜鶯。只有在萬籟俱寂的夜晚，它們重新成為了大地的主人，人們才有機會聽到夜鶯最美妙的夜曲。
