On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins , catbirds , doves , jays , wrens , and scores of other bird voices there was now no sound 清晨，知更，猫鸟，野鸽，松鸦，鹪鹩，还有各种其它鸟声曾经在黎明时分形成大合唱，出现一派勃勃生机的清晨，现在已是毫无声息了。

A catbird , the northern mocker , lit in a tree over tom s head , and trilled out her imitations of her neighbors in a rapture of enjoyment ; then a shrill jay swept down , a flash of blue flame , and stopped on a twig almost within the boy s reach , cocked his head to one side and eyed the strangers with a consuming curiosity ; a gray squirrel and a big fellow of the " fox " kind came skurrying along , sitting up at intervals to inspect and chatter at the boys , for the wild things had probably never seen a human being before and scarcely knew whether to be afraid or not 有一只猫鹊一种北方的学舌鸟在汤姆头顶上的一棵大树上落下来，模仿着它附近别的鸟儿的叫声，叫得欢天喜地。随后又有一只?鸟尖叫着疾飞而下，像一团一闪而过的蓝色火焰，落到一根小树枝上，汤姆几乎一伸手就能够到它。它歪着脑袋，十分好奇地打量着这几位不速之客还有一只灰色的松鼠和一只狐狸类的大东西匆匆跑来，一会儿坐着观察这几个孩子，一会儿又冲他们叫几声。
