The Swing|秋千

[英语诗歌、英文小诗]

How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside—

Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof2 so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!


你想不想荡一把秋千,
飞向蓝蓝的天空?
啊,我认为对孩子而言,
那的确其乐无穷!

我荡向空中、越过院墙,
视野豁然开阔,
一览河流树木和牛羊,
乡间美景多又多——

我俯瞰绿色的花园,
掠过褐色的屋顶——
转眼我又飞上蓝天,
悠悠荡荡永不停!
