In a pine tree,

一棵松树上，

A few yards away from my window sill,

离我的窗台几米远处，

A brilliant blue jay is springing up and down, up and down,

一只鲜艳的蓝色松鸡反复地、上下跳跃

On a branch.

在一根树枝上。

I laugh, as I see him abandon himself

我笑了，当我看见他彻底沉浸于

To entire delight, for he knows as well as I do

自己的快乐；因为他和我一样知道

That the branch will not break.

那树枝不会折断。
