Between Nose and Eyes a strange contest arose;

鼻子眼睛之間，引發(fā)奇怪爭論；

The spectacles set them, unhappily, wrong;

眼鏡擠在中間，渾身都不如意，

The point in dispute was, as all the world knows,

查究辯論焦點(diǎn)，看來世人皆知；

To which the said spectacles ought to belong.

眼鏡這塊地盤，隸屬何方領(lǐng)地？

So Tongue was the lawyer, and argued the cause,

舌頭變成律師，辯析爭論原因，

With a great deal of skill and a wig full of learning,

口舌如簧技巧，滿腹經(jīng)綸學(xué)問，

While chief baron Ear sat to balance the laws,

大亨巨頭耳朵，坐鎮(zhèn)權(quán)衡判決，

So famed for his talent in nicely discerning.

感嘆非凡天資，洞察入微能力。

In behalf of the Nose, it will quickly appear,

代表鼻子利益，我會很快出現(xiàn)，

And your lordship, he said, will undoubtedly find,

你的貴族身份，當(dāng)然毋庸置疑，

That the Nose has the spectacles always to wear,

鼻子佩戴眼鏡，理應(yīng)你是主人，

Which amounts to possession, time out of mind.

類似從屬占有，想必追溯久遠(yuǎn)。

Then, holding the spectacles up to the court,

然后攜帶眼鏡，直奔耳朵法庭，

Your lordship observes, they are made with a straddle

閣下身份待查，鏡腿兩腳分離，

As wide as the ridge of the Nose is; in short,

鼻子寬如山梁，簡而言之設(shè)計(jì)，

Designed to sit close to it, just like a saddle.

坐落山脊兩邊，類似一道馬鞍。
