童夜幻想曲
所有的夜晚都漫长，在每个夜里，
当妈妈 熄灭灯光，
我就看见 人群在游行，
像白天一样清晰，显现在我的眼前。
军队 皇帝 圣王，
每个人都拿着 不同式样的东西，
行进着 如此盛大，
你永远看不到啊！白天里有这样的景象。
如此美妙的演出啊！
草坪的马戏团里 也永远看不到；
那儿 每只野兽 每个人
只游行在一辆大篷车里。
一开始 他们动得有点慢，
即便他们越走越快，
我仍紧紧跟随，
直到我们到达了 梦-乡。
YOUNG NIGHT THOUGHT
ALL NIGHT LONG and every night,
When my mama puts out the light,
I see the people marching by,
As plain as day, before my eye.
Armies and emperor and kings,
All carrying different kinds of things,
And marching in so grand a way,
You never saw the like by day.
So fine a show was never seen
At the great circus on the green;
For every kind of beast and man
Is marching in that caravan.
As first they move a little slow,
But still the faster on they go,
And still beside them close I keep
Until we reach the town of Sleep.
小孩的本分
一个小孩 得总说真话，
别人问话时，得回话，
餐桌上 得表现的有礼貌；
至少 得有样学样。
Whole Duty of Children
A child should always say what’s true
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table;
At least as far as he is able.
