英美著名儿童诗一百首 [55]
presents and things!
Now I have done with it, down let it go!
All in a moment the town is laid low
lock upon block lying scattered and free,
What is there left of my town by the sea
Yet as I saw it, I see it again,
The kirk and the palace, the ships and the men,
And as long as I live and where'er I may be,
I'll always remember my town by the sea.
■ 九十七 积木城
罗伯特·路易斯·斯蒂文森
你用积木能搭出什么来？
圣堂，码头，官殿，城堡。
让雨下吧，让别人去逛吧，
我可愉快地在家里营造。
把沙发当山，把地毯当海，
我给自己盖一座城市：
城边是教堂、磨坊、官殿，
港口停泊着我的船只。
雄伟的宫殿，有柱子，围墙，
一座塔搭在宫殿的顶端，
一段台阶整齐地铺下来，
直铺到我的船避风的海湾。
这条船航行，那条船停泊：
听，甲板上水手们在歌唱！
看，宫殿的台阶上，国王们
拿着礼品和珍宝来来往往！
我已经搭完了，把它推倒吧！
整个城市一下子倒地。
一块块积木横七竖八，
我那海边的城市在哪里？
我见过它，所以我又见到它：
教堂和官殿，居民和船只，
只要我活着，不论我去哪儿，
我永远惦念我海边的城市。

■ 98 WYNKEN, BLYNKEN, AND NOD
Eug ene Field①
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe—
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish
"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring-fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!"
Said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song
As they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring-fish
That lived in that beautiful sea—
"Now cast your nets wherever you wish—
But never afeard are we";
So cried the stars to the fishermen three:
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
And all night long their nets they threw
For the fish in the twinkling foam—
Then down from the sky came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home;
’Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed
As if it could not be;
And some folks thought'twas a dream they'd
dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea—
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
Wynken, Blynken, are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee one's trundle-bed.
So shut your eyes while Mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three ：
Wynked, Blynken, and Nod.

，眨眨，和瞌睡
尤金·费尔德
，眨眨和瞌睡在夜里
乘着木鞋去远航——
航行在水晶玻璃光河里，
驶进露水的海洋。
"你们上哪儿去？有什么意图？"
月亮婆婆问他们仨。
"我们到这儿来钓鱼，钓鲱鱼，
美丽的海是鲱鱼的家；
我们把金网银网撒！"
答话的是，眨眨，和瞌睡。
月亮婆婆笑了，唱着歌儿，
他们仨在木鞋里颠簸，
整夜吹送他们的风儿
吹起了露水的轻波。
一群群小星星都是鲱鱼
在美丽的海洋里嬉耍——
"你们的鱼网只管撒去——
我们可绝不害怕"；
星星们这样嚷，冲着渔
Now I have done with it, down let it go!
All in a moment the town is laid low
lock upon block lying scattered and free,
What is there left of my town by the sea
Yet as I saw it, I see it again,
The kirk and the palace, the ships and the men,
And as long as I live and where'er I may be,
I'll always remember my town by the sea.
