放暑假了，我和妈妈乘火车到外婆家去看望年迈的外婆和生病的外公。
It's summer vacation. My mother and I take the train to my grandmother's house to visit my old grandmother and my sick grandfather.
刚到家就听见“喂，喂”的鸟叫声。原来是一只小鸟，长长的嘴巴，黑溜溜的眼睛，棕色的羽毛，非常一般。但是尾巴上左右两边各有一根白色的毛，很独特。我马上就知道了这只小鸟的学名，叫斑鸠。
As soon as I got home, I heard the bird "Hello, hello". It turned out to be a bird with a long mouth, black eyes, brown feathers, very common. But there is a white hair on the left and right sides of the tail, which is very unique. I immediately learned the scientific name of the bird, which is called turtle dove.
我伸出一根手指，在它面前转来转去，它可能认为我的手指是条虫子，扇了扇翅膀，又叫了起来，好象在说：“我饿了，我饿了！”这时，大舅回来了，他告诉我：“这只小斑鸠是从我的办公室窗户上抓回来的，还不会飞呢。”我看着这只离开自己家、离开亲人的小鸟时，我有些伤心。于是我为了永远纪念这只离巢的小鸟，给它起了一个有起因的名字，就叫：“离巢 ”。
