蕨草

打从蕨草和云朵的花环里探出头来。

Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs .

有一滴从蕨草上滑落，瞧，一道波纹。

One drop fell from a fern , and lo , a ripple .

岛上有棵小树，还有岩石，蕨草和青草。

One small tree grew on the island , and there were rocks and ferns and grasses .

加上苔藓、蜗牛壳、蕨草、橡叶，这里恰似一层淡淡的虹。

The same spot of earth , riddled with moss , snail shells , ferns , oak leaves , produces this pale rainbow .

那些树木是多么静穆，无数弯曲的树枝向天空上伸，灰色的树干，倔强地从棕争的蕨草丛中直立！

How still the trees were , with their crinkly , innumerable twigs against the sky , and their grey , obstinate trunks rising from the Brown bracken !

我们看到演示如何将蕨与草粗略地编扎起来，制成一个临时的遮蔽处。

We were shown how to roughly weave ferns and grass together to make a temporary shelter .

例如说，许多农民仍然享有“必需品”的权利&采割欧洲蕨用作牲畜的草垫和其他用途的权利。

For example , many rural tenants still have the right of " estovers " the right to cut bracken as bedding for livestock and other uses .
