请高手们不吝赐教，帮忙翻译以下一段。“ it is not easy to describe this spring .we english do not run to lyricism.indeed,beauty sometimes embarrasses us .we feel a little shy of it ,even awakward-like joe,the carpenter's son ,who's been musing over my orchard gate for the last half-hour.Silently we exchanged cigarettes.then,whilist staring at my most decrepit old tree,which stood in full flamboyant bloom,he said,half to himself:"when we were retreating to Dunkirk i often wondered what it was i was defending ;and when we landed in Normandy i used to ask myself what i was fighting for...i suppose i was fighting for that there old tree of yours!damn funny,ain't it?"
