《I am a leaf》 我是一片葉子
Hi !
I'm a leaf.
I live on a maple tree.
See the ladybug?
She's crawling on me.
It tickles !
嗨!我是一片葉子。
我生長在一棵楓樹上。
看到這隻瓢蟲了嗎?
她正在我身上爬著。
癢癢的。
Many leaves live in my tree.
We have a summer job.
We make tree food.
We make it from air and sunlight.
Mm-m-m
That sun feels good.
我這棵樹上長了很多葉子。
夏天我們是有工作的。
我們要為樹準備食物。
我們靠空氣和陽光儲備食物。
感覺陽光很不錯。
We also need water to make tree food.
Rainwater goes into the soil.
It goes into the tree's roots.
It goes up the tree.
It flows into my veins.
My veins are like little pipes
我們還需要水來儲備樹的食物。
雨水進入了土壤。
然後進入樹的根部。
它會順著樹幹向上流。
再流進我的葉脈裡。
我的葉脈就像一根根小管道。
I mix sunlight, air, and water.
Then I add something green.
It's called chlorophyll(KLOR-o-fill).
Chlorophyll is green.
It makes me green.
我混合陽光,空氣和水。
再加上一些綠色的東西。
它叫葉綠素。
葉綠素是綠色的。它讓我變綠。
All summer long,
I have made tree food.
Once a caterpillar came by.
Nibble.
Nibble.
Nibble.
It ate a little hole in me.
But I still did my job.
整個夏天,我給樹提供食物。
有一次,一隻毛毛蟲經過。
一點點的咬啊咬。
它在我身上咬了個小洞。
但是我仍然工作著。
Once a spider came by
Busy
Busy
Busy
It made a big web
But I still did my job.
一次,一隻蜘蛛飛過來。
織啊。織啊。織啊。
它織了一張很大的網。
但我仍然在做我的工作。
Once a squirrel jumped on me.
Boing!
Boing!
Boing!
It ran right over me!
But I still did my job.
一次,一隻松鼠跳到了我身上。
嘣!嘣!嘣!
它從我身上跑過去!
但我仍然在做我的工作。
Now fall has come
My work is over
My green goes away
Now I am
秋天來了。
我的工作結束了。
我的綠色也褪去了。
現在我是……
Red! Yellow! Orange!
It's party time!
All the leaves in my tree
are turning colors !
People ooh and aah
紅色的!黃色的!橙色的!
聚會的時間到了。
我樹上的所有葉子都在變顏色!
人們發出“噢”“啊”的讚美聲。
The wind blows.
We break away.
We dance with the wind.
Whee-ee !
Gently, we land on the ground.
風吹過,我們掉落了。
我們隨風起舞。
哇!
慢慢的輕柔的,我們落在地面上。
We rest.
Winter has come
The forest is white with snow.
Some trees stay green.
They are called evergreens.
我們休息了。
冬天來了。
森林裡白雪皚皚。
有些樹還是綠色的。
他們被稱為常青樹。
Slowly, leaves turn into soil.
The soil holds roots.
The soil holds water.
The soil holds animals.
sleeping in dens
Winter is over
The soil warms.
葉子慢慢地變成了土壤。
土壤支撐著樹根。
土壤保存著水分。
土壤包裹著動物們安睡在洞穴裡。
冬天結束了。
大地變暖了。
Hi!
I'm a baby leaf.
Spring is here.
I'm the first bud to sprout in my tree.
嗨!我是一片樹葉寶寶。
春天到了。
我是樹上第一個鑽出枝頭的芽苞。
I'm growing fast.
Soon I'll get a job.
What will it be?
Mm-m-m.
That sun feels good.
我成長的非常快。
不久,我就會有一份工作。
會是什麼呢?
嗯……
感覺陽光很不錯。
