花,是森林地表的天然装饰. 它们以花蜜为广告,来吸引新生的昆虫 - The spring blooms of the deciduous woodlands have no equivalent in either the great conifer forests, or the tropical jungles.

几个月后,白昼又开始缩短 - and the trees must shut down and shed their leaves in preparation for the cold dark time ahead.
树木开始减缓代谢,树叶开始凋零, 以准备迎接寒冬的到来
