你看那可爱的大白鹅,她弯着长长的脖子,向着天空快乐地唱歌。 她洁白的羽毛浮在碧绿的水面,红红的脚掌划出清澈美丽的波纹。
Look at that lovely white goose.  She is singing towards the sky, with her long neck bending in such a beautiful curve. Floating on the jade green water, her pure white feather coat fascinates me. Her red feet stir crystal wave on the lake surface.
