In frozen deserts and snowy taigas, buildings and roadways break down under the wind and extreme cold of successive winters.

在冰冻的沙漠和白雪皑皑的针叶林中，建筑物和道路在连续冬季的狂风和极寒中倒塌。

And all over the land, where the grasses waved and murmured under the wind, thousands of little dickie-birds clung with their tiny claws to the blossoming weeds and sang their thousands of little songs.

在这片土地上， 草儿在风中摇曳、低语，成千上万的小迪基鸟用它们的小爪子抓住盛开的野草， 唱着成千上万首小曲。
