Rain ----R. L. Stevenson

Rain is falling all around,

It falls on field and tree,

It rains on the umbrella here,

And on the ships at sea.

雨

雨兒在到處降落，

它落在田野和樹梢，

它落在這邊的雨傘上，

又落在航行海上的船只。

Bed in Summer ——Robert Louis Stevenson

In winter I get up at night

And dress by yellow candle-light.

In summer, quite the other way,

I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see

The birds still hopping on the tree,

Or hear the grown-up people's feet

Still going past me in the street.

And does it seem hard to you,

When all the sky is clear and blue,

And I should like so much to play,

To have to go to bed by day?

夏之眠

冬日里我夜里起床，

借著昏黃的燭光穿衣裳。

夏日里可不一樣，

我不得不白日里就睡覺上床。

小鳥兒仍在樹上蹦蹦跳跳，

大人們的腳步聲

還在大街上回響，

我卻得早早睡覺上床。

天空還是那么蔚藍，明亮，

我多么想嬉戲，玩耍，

你是否覺得

這時候就睡覺難入夢鄉(xiāng)?

Morning

I love to wake to each new day,

And brush my dreams

Of night away,

And look out through my window wide

To see what weather is outside,

And wonder what exciting thing

This shining, un-used day

Will bring.

清 晨

我喜歡醒來迎接每一個清晨，

輕松抖落一夜的夢塵，

從窗口向外眺望遠處，

廣茅的天地是否晴空無云，

想象何等激動人心的事

這燦爛嶄新的一天將獻呈。

I’ll try --- Rossetti

The little boy who says "I'll try",

Will climb to the hill-top.

The little boy who says "I can't",

Will at the bottom stop.

"I'll try" does great thing every day,

"I can't" gets nothing done.

Be sure then that you say "I'll try",

And let "I can't" alone.

我決心嘗試

那個說“我決心嘗試”的小男孩，

他將登上山巔。

那個說“我不能”的小男孩，

他將在山腳下停步不前。

“我決心嘗試”每天都能辦大事，

“我不能”則一事無成。

因此你務(wù)必說“我決心嘗試”，

對“我不能”置之不理。
