When the birds have gone what need to keep the nest?I will have it pulled down-the timber will sell for something always.翻译涉及到拟声词的运用

鸟儿飞走了留着巢有什么用?我会把它(巢)推倒的——木材(推倒声)将会卖来一些长存的东西(推倒声将换来永恒)

the timber will sell for something always是很好的双关语,虚实相生,timber既指木材,材料,也指伐木工人说“唉,树倒了~!”的拟声词
在这里,这个双关语既指木材(实)也指推倒声(虚)
