楼梯之上，我们造起一艘船。
用后面卧室的椅子搭好，
再装满软软的枕头。
巨浪之中，航行开始喽！
我们带上锯子、几枚钉子
还有，托儿所的桶装水
还有，汤姆说的：“带个苹果、
一小片蛋糕吧”--
噢！足够了，汤姆和我
开始航行，直到下午茶。
我们日复一日的出航
享受这超级棒的游戏
哎呀！汤姆掉了下来，摔伤了膝盖,
这儿没人了，就剩我孤零零。
A GOOD PLAY
WE BUILT a ship upon the stairs
All made of the back-bedroom chairs,
And filled it full of soft pillows
To go a-sailing on the billows.
We took a saw and several nails,
And water in the nursery pails;
And Tom said,'Ler us also take
An apple and a slice of cake'-
Which was enough for Tom and me
To go a-sailing on,till tea.
We sailed along for days and days,
And had the very best of plays;
But Tom fell out and hurt his knee,
So there was no one left but me.
船儿驶向何方？
黑褐色是河水
金黄色是泥沙
伴着两岸树儿
永在奔腾流淌
绿叶片片漂浮，
泡沫似那城堡，
我的船儿飘摇，
何处才是港湾？
奔流吧，河水
穿出了磨坊
飞越了溪谷
掠过了山岗。
飞流直下吧，河水
百哩之外远方，
别的孩子呀！
会带船儿到岸旁。
WHERE GO THE BOATS?
DARK BROWN is the river,
Golden is the sand.
It flows along for ever,
With trees on either hand.
Green leaves a-floating,
Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating-
Where will all come home?
On goes the river
And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
Away down the hill.
Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.
阿姨的裙子
每当阿姨转个身儿，
裙子呀，古怪作响，
磨蹭着跟她上楼，
又疲惫地随她入门。
AUNTIE'S SKIRTS
WHENEVER Auntie moves around,
Her dresses make acurious sound,
They trail behind her up the floor,
And trundle after through the door.
床世界
当我卧病在床时，
两个枕头垫头下，
所有玩具放身旁，
整天开心又快乐。
有时呀，花上个把小时，
观看铅兵行军，
穿着不同制服，
操练各式队列，
整个床上行进，
翻越个个被丘；
有时呀，把船儿列成舰队，
来回巡游被海中，
又或拿出房和树，
四周来造小城镇。
我是那巨人，
崇伟且静默，
端坐枕头山，
关注眼底下，
平原与山谷，
快乐床世界！
THE LAND OF COUNTERPANE
WHEN I WAS SICK and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay
To keep me happy all the day.
And sometimes for an hour or so
I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bedclothes,through the hills;
And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.
I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land of counterpane.
