我家旁边的公园

我住在一棵老树上，就在公园旁边。这是一个不大的公园，也不出名，但我对它非常熟悉，因为我每天都去。

I live in an old tree, next to the park. It is a small park and it is not famous, but I know it very well because I go every day.

早上，雨一停，我就从树上爬下来找食物。我会花一段时间，看着沿着小路走过的人们。长椅附近总有鸽子，在等着别人给它们一点面包。

In the morning, when the rain stops, I climb down from the tree to look for food. I spend a while watching the ones who pass along the path. There are always pigeons near the benches, waiting for a bit of bread.

獾先生十点钟到，永远是同一个时间。他给鸽子带来面包，鸽子们立刻把他围住。看它们争抢最大的面包屑，我觉得非常有意思。

Mr. Badger arrives at ten, always at the same time. He brings bread for the pigeons and they surround him at once. I have a lot of fun watching how they fight over the biggest crumbs.

星期六的公园不一样。一家一家的人来了，小孩子们在树丛间玩捉迷藏。他们藏得很不像话：一直在笑，所以我总能知道他们躲在哪里。他们的父母坐在长椅上聊天，聊得起劲，根本不看时间。

On Saturdays the park changes. The families arrive and the little ones play hide and seek among the trees. They hide very badly: they laugh the whole time, and that is why I always know where they are. Their parents keep themselves busy talking on the benches and do not look at the clock.

下午结束的时候，大家都回家了，公园又安静下来。这时我再次爬下树，沿着水边慢慢地走。我更喜欢这个时候，胜过早上，因为这时公园只属于我一个人。

When the afternoon ends, everyone goes home and the park falls silent. Then I climb down again and walk beside the water, without hurrying. I enjoy it more now than in the morning, because the park is only mine.

我不需要走远。我的公园就在我家旁边，对我来说，这就足够了。

I do not need to go far. My park is next to my house, and for me that is enough.
