The birches were already in pale green leaf. It was extraordinary how everything burst forth at this time of year!

赤杨树也已经长出了嫩绿的叶。每年到这个时节，万物总了生机。这一件奇妙的事。

After the park service arrived, I'm leading them up through the alders here this is the same trail I had come up the first time.

公园管理处的人到达后，我带领们穿过这里的赤杨木丛，这我第一次上来的路。

I pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church.

我指着我们所在的地方，那一片平坦的近海地带，坐落在赤杨树和截去树梢的柳树之间，离教堂有一英里多路。

And I have come to the conclusion that the black alder is the best and most beautiful wood for the body.

我得出的结论，欧洲赤杨木最适合用来做琴身，也最美的木材。

She is slender, like the alders, and moves with their grace.

她像赤杨一样苗条， 动作优雅。
