"知更鸟唯一会做的事就是为我们演奏音乐供我们享受。它们不偷吃人们的花园，也不在玉米仓里筑巢，唯一会做的就是为我们尽情歌唱。所以，杀死一只知更鸟是一种罪恶。"
— Harper Lee

Simplified Meaning:
Mockingbirds are harmless birds that only bring joy through their songs. They don't harm crops or bother people in any way. Their sole purpose is to sing, making the world a nicer place. This is why it's considered wrong to harm or kill them. To understand this better, think about a person who is kind and only tries to help others. If someone were to hurt this kind person, it would be unfair and unjust. The lesson here is to recognize and appreciate innocence and goodness in the world. We should protect and cherish those who do no harm and bring positivity into our lives. By doing so, we make sure that kindness and beauty continue to thrive.
