We do not want to race about in a field for a ball; we prefer to saunter along willow banks to listen to the bird's song and the children's laughter.

我们不想为了一个球在田野里跑来跑去； 我们更喜欢漫步在柳岸边， 聆听鸟儿的歌声和孩子们的笑声。

I used to sit at this point on the warm sunlit turf which marked the track of the Roman Road, while the two children raced about hunting for the whinberries that grew here and there on the banks.

我常常在这个时候坐在温暖的阳光照耀的草坪上，这标志着罗马路的踪迹，而两个孩子则四处奔跑寻找长在河岸上的蔓越莓。
