花鸟国画
CHN 202
吕斌斌 (Nina Dutton)
这幅画上是一枝树枝，树枝上站着一只小鸟。这枝树枝也有几片青绿色的叶子，还有三个白色的熟水果。树枝上的鸟是一只咖啡色的燕子。小燕有一个红头、一双绿翼、一条长尾和一个小嘴。这幅画是宋朝的，画家是林椿。林椿常常画花 、草、虫和小鸟。他大半的画是小幅的畫。
我选了这幅画，因为颜色好看极了，而且小鸟画得很好，看起来好像是真的。
现在夏天，天气热得很，可是风有时把树叶吹得转来转去。树上有很多熟水果，小孩子们从学校回家常常跑到这棵树下吃水果。最高的树枝上有一只小鸟唱歌。小鸟看起来好像想跳起来飞出去,我想這是因为一个小孩子高兴地笑，所以小鸟被吵得飞到别棵树上。

Transcript:
In this painting is a tree branch, on which stands a small bird. This branch also has several green leaves and three white, ripe fruits. The bird on the branch is a brown swallow. The little swallow has a red head, two green wings, a long tail and a small beak.
This painting is from the Song Dynasty, and the artist is Lin Chun. Lin Chun often painted flowers, grasses, insects and small birds. Most of his paintings are small. I chose this painting because the colors are pleasant to look at, and the bird is painted very well, appearing real.
It is summertime and the weather is very hot, but the wind sometimes blows the leaves, turning them this way and that. On the tree are many ripe fruits and children on their way home from school often run to the tree to eat fruits. On the highest branch is a small singing bird. The little bird looks like it wants to fly away into the air. I think that because one of the children laughed happily, the little bird was frightened away by the sound to fly to another tree.
