　　豌豆莢長(zhǎng)大、長(zhǎng)飽滿(mǎn)之后, 人們就采下來(lái),

　　The peas are taken out, and boiled for us to eat.

　　把豌豆剝出來(lái)煮著吃。

　　Let us look at the curious flower of the pea-plant.

　　咱們?cè)倏纯催@種奇妙的豌豆花吧!

　　It has a little green outer cup, with five points or teeth,

　　豌豆花外面有一個(gè)綠色的杯子一樣的東西, 長(zhǎng)著五個(gè)尖兒,

　　Next come five pretty white leaves, of which one is much larger than the others, and stands up boldly.

　　里面是五個(gè)漂亮的白色花瓣, 有一片特別大, 往上聳立著,

　　There are two small white side leaves, and two other leaves lower down,

　　旁邊兩側(cè)各有一片白色的小花瓣,還有兩片花瓣向下垂著,

　　which are shaped like a tiny boat.

　　像小船一樣,

　　The whole flower looks very much like a butterfly.

　　整朵花看上去特別像一只蝴蝶,

　　Inside the white leaves are ten yellow dust-spikes.

　　白色的花瓣里面, 有10枚黃色的雄蕊。

　　Nine of them are joined together except at their tips,

　　其中9枚是連在一塊兒的, 只有尖端是分開(kāi)的,

　　and in the very middle of them is the young pod with its tiny seeds.

　　里面有小囊, 盛著非常小的種子。

　　Do you know any other plants that have flowers and pods like the pea?

　　你知道哪些別的植物, 也有豌豆這樣的花和小囊嗎?

　　Yes; there is the bean.

　　對(duì)了, 還有大豆,

　　Then the pretty tree called the golden-drop,

　　還有漂亮的“金鏈花”,

　　whose flowers you see in May and June,

　　是五六月間開(kāi)花的植物,

　　belongs to the same family of plants as the pea;

　　跟豌豆是同一個(gè)家族,

　　but its seeds contain a kind of poison,

　　但是它的種子有毒,

　　and they will hurt you very much and perhaps kill you if you eat them.

　　要是吃了, 可能會(huì)得重病, 甚至有生命危險(xiǎn)!

　　If you look at the yellow flowers of the prickly plant called the gorse or whin,

　　還有渾身是刺的“金雀花”, 也叫“棘豆”,

　　you will see that they, too, are shaped very much like the flowers of the pea.

　　它的花, 跟豌豆花的形狀也非常像。

　　The heads of red and white clover, which you may see among grass,

　　在雜草中間, 你可能會(huì)看見(jiàn)紅色和白色的“三葉草”探出頭來(lái), 這些小花,

　　are also made up of small flowers of the same kind.

　　也是豌豆花的同類(lèi)。
