15 MY SHADOW |
十五 我的影子 |
R obert .Louis Stevenson |
羅伯特·路易斯·斯蒂文森 |
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, | 我有個小小的影子,進(jìn)進(jìn)出出跟著我, |
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. | 我可不大知道他到底有什么用場。 |
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; | 他呀,從頭到腳都非常非常地像我; |
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. | 我跳上床去,倒看見他比我先蹦上床。 |
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow ---- | 他怎樣成長的呢,嗐,那才叫好玩—— |
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; | 全不像真正的孩子那樣,慢慢地長大; |
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball, | 有時候他長得那么高,象皮球,一蹦竄上天, |
And he sometimes gets so little that there' s none of him at all. | 有時候他縮得這么小,我完全看不到他。 |
He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play, | 孩子應(yīng)該怎樣游戲,他可是完全不知道, |
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. | 他呀,只知道捉弄我,跟我開玩笑。 |
He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see; | 他老是緊緊跟著我,真像個膽小鬼,你瞧; |
I' d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me! | 我像他跟牢我那樣去跟牢保姆可多害臊! |
One morning, very early, before the sun was up, | 一天早上,非常早,太陽還沒有起身, |
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; | 我起來看到露珠在金鳳花兒上閃耀; |
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, | 可是我那懶惰的小影子,真貪睡,還不醒, |
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed. | 他在我身后,在家里床上,呼呼地睡覺。 |
