秋蝉-
倾听秋蝉之歌，时间将会消失。
Listen to the song of the harvest fly and the time will disappear .

这秋蝉的嘶叫，在北方可和蟋蟀耗子一样，简直像是家家户户都养在家里的家虫。
Because of their ubiquitous shrill noise , these insects in Peiping seem to be living off every household like crickets or mice .

秋蝉的衰弱的残声，更是北国的特产，因为北平处处全长着树，屋子又低，所以无论在什么地方，都听得见它们的啼唱。
The sporadic feeble chirping of cicadas is especially characteristic of autumn in the North . Due to the abundance of trees and the low altitude of dwellings in Peiping , cicadas are audible in every nook and cranny of the city .
