盛夏（1）

In the hot summer

But these "midsummer night's dreams" of hers were destined, as such dreams always are, to be short-lived.但这样的“仲夏夜的梦”，照例是短促的。

The climate of this town is so mild,

这个镇的气候如此温和，

that the thermometer seldom rises to thirty degree even in midsummer.

以至于即使在仲夏温度计也很少升到30度。

Although few modern Swedes believe in magic,

虽然现代瑞典人很少会相信魔法，

they still feel that special things can happen during Midsummer.

但他们仍觉得在仲夏会发生特别的事情。

The cuckoo comes in April, and stays the month of May;

布谷鸟，四月来，五月一直在，

sings a song at Midsummer, and then goes away.

仲夏唱支歌，然后就离开。
