美國語文第六冊 第306期:赤腳的孩子(3)
松鼠在逗我開心，有鼻子的鼴鼠收起它的鏟子;

Pewter spoon and bowl of wood, On the doorstone, gray and rude!
白镴勺子和紅木碗，就在門前的階石上，老舊粗樸!

之于我，儼然華麗堂皇的明帳，模糊的棱紋，斜陽西沉，
Purple-curtained, fringed with gold, Looped in many a wind-swung fold;
紫色幔帳，流蘇金黃，環(huán)繞在許多迎風(fēng)搖擺的褶皺中;
While for music came the play of the pied frog's orchestra;
為了配合音樂聲起，雜種的跳蛙管弦樂隊(duì)和鳴;
