Original text:

Hedges are sparse and deep, and the trees are green and not shady. (New Green One: Flowers Fall)

The child ran quickly to catch the yellow butterfly, but the butterfly suddenly flew into the vegetable garden and could not be found again.

Translation:

Next to the sparse fence, a path leads to the distance. The petals on the roadside trees are falling, and the new leaves have just grown and have not yet formed a shade.

The child ran after the yellow butterfly, but the butterfly flew into the cauliflower and was never found.

Extended data:

This is a poem describing the pastoral scenery in late spring, depicting a scene full of spring.

The first sentence is a static description of pure scenery. Fences and paths indicate that this is the countryside. The wide hedge waterfalls and narrow paths set each other off, and the long hedges set each other off, highlighting the freshness and tranquility of the countryside.

The second sentence is also a static description of pure scenery. On the roadside, the peach blossoms and plum blossoms on the branches have fallen, but the leaves have not grown very thick, showing the natural and simple style of the countryside.

The third sentence is the dynamic description of characters. The combination of "catching up" and "chasing" makes the excitement and joy of children clapping their hands and stumbling after butterflies vivid, which reflects their innocence and liveliness.

The fourth sentence, cauliflower is yellow and lush. A small butterfly flies into this yellow ocean, and naturally it is nowhere to be found. Readers can imagine that children are looking around at this time, anxious about finding everywhere, disappointed about not finding it, and so on. It shows the innocence and childishness of children.
