介绍（中）	本书的每一幅双页插图都描绘了两种鸟类，并伴随着一对俏皮的情诗，用各自鸟类的"声音"写成。这些诗是kyōka（字面意思是"疯狂的诗句"），或俏皮的轻诗，分别用5-7-5-7-7音节的五行写成。日本格罗斯比克（Mamemawashi，"豆子车工"）忍之伊拉扎鲁库奇之马梅玛瓦西崔 Saezurite na ya morasuramu 我的恋情是秘密的，但"豆子翻"鸟，它的大嘴，无疑洒了豆子并尖叫着她的名字。 - 阿凯拉·坎光 ; 译者约翰· 木匠啄木鸟（狐月）娜妮塔奇石锦鲤二矢九钦木月之月之久田鹦鹉瞳之口桥随着谣言的传播，说我的恋情已经腐烂了，我会成为一只啄木鸟，啄碎他们的。 ——田和筱野;译者：约翰· 木匠鸭（Kamo）月文之冢物 ni wa chi o hashiru koi no yakko mo kamo no torimochi 当他等待他的情书被一只鸭子在陆地上快速递送时，他仍然是爱情的奴隶，仿佛被困在鸟石灰中。- Hōnen no Yukimaru; 译者 John T. Carpenter 翠鸟（Kawasemi） Kimi to waga nochi no yo kakete hasu no ha ni ii-kawasemi no hane o naraben 让我们交换誓言，你和我将重生在同一片荷叶上，我们将永远亲密，就像翠鸟的翅膀一样。 ——桑达拉·
介绍（英）	Each of the double-page illustrations of this book depicts two avian species accompanied by a pair of playful love poems written in the “voice” of the respective bird. The poems are kyōka (literally, “mad verse”), or playful light verse written in five lines of 5-7-5-7-7 syllables respectively. Japanese Grosbeak (Mamemawashi, “Bean-turner”) Shinobu no ni irazaru kuchi no mamemawashi tsui saezurite na ya morasuramu My love affair is secret, but the “bean-turner” bird, with its big mouth, no doubt spilled the beans and squealed her name. —Akera Kankō ; trans. John T. Carpenter Woodpecker (Kitsutsuki) Na ni tachite koi ni ya kuchin kitsutsuki no tsuki-kudakaruru hito no kuchibashi As rumors spread saying that my romance has rotted away, I'll be a woodpecker pecking to pieces their tittle-tattle. —Shinono Tamawaku; trans. John T. Carpenter Duck (Kamo) Tsukebumi no tsukaimono ni wa chi o hashiru koi no yakko mo kamo no torimochi As he waits for his love letter to be sped in its delivery across land by a duck, he remains a slave to love, as though trapped in birdlime. —Hōnen no Yukimaru; trans. John T. Carpenter Kingfisher (Kawasemi) Kimi to waga nochi no yo kakete hasu no ha ni ii-kawasemi no hane o naraben Let us exchange vows that you and I will be reborn on the same lotus leaf, and we’ll be forever close, as joined wings of kingfishers. —Sandara Hōshi; trans. John T. Carpenter
