The Nightingale and the Rose by Oscar Wilde
Part Two

Suddenly she spread her brown wings for flight, and soared into the air（飞向天空）. She passed through the grove（树林） like a shadow and like a shadow she sailed across the garden.
In the center of the grass-plot stood a beautiful Rose-tree, and when she saw it she flew over to it. "Give me a red rose," she cried, "and I will sing you my sweetest song."
But the tree shook its head（摇了摇头）.
"My roses are white," it answered, "as white as the foam（泡沫） of the sea, and whiter than the snow upon the mountain, But go to my brother who grows round the old old sun-dial（日晷）, and perhaps he will give you what you want."
So the Nightingale flew over to the Rose-tree that was growing round the old sun-dial.
"Give me a red rose," she cried, "and I will sing you my sweetest song." But the Tree shook its head.
"My roses are yellow, " it answered, "as yellow as the hair of the mermaiden（美人鱼）, and yellower than the daffodil（水仙花） that blooms in the meadow（草地）. But go to my brother who grows beneath the Student's window, and perhaps he will give you what you want."
So the Nightingale flew to the Rose-tree that is growing beneath the Student's window.
"Give me a red rose," she cried, "and I will sing my sweetest song." But the tree shook its head.
"My roses are red," it answered, "as red as the feet of the doves（鸽子）, and redder than the great fans of coral（珊瑚）. But the winter has chilled（冻住） my veins（叶脉）, and the frost（霜冻） has nipped（冻伤） my buds（花蕾）, and the storms（风雪） has broken my branches（枝桠）, and I shall have no roses at all this year."
"One red rose is all that I want," cried the Nightingale, "Only one red rose! Is there no way by which I can get it?"
"There is a way," answered theTree, "but it is so terrible that I dare not tell it to you."
