In a pine tree,

一棵松树上，

A few yards away from my window sill,

距我的窗台几米开外，

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

一只鲜艳的蓝松鸦跳跃，上上下下，

On a branch.

在一根树枝上。

I laugh, as I see him abandon himself

我笑了，当我看见他沉浸于

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

纯粹的快乐，因为他和我一样清楚：

That the branch will not break.

那根树枝不会折断。
