詩歌欣賞:There was a naughty boy
There was a naughty boy,有一個頑皮的孩子,
And a naughty boy was he,頑皮的孩子就是他,
He ran away to Scotland 他離家到蘇格蘭去
The people for to see---去看那邊的人們
Then he found 然後他發現
That the ground 那邊的`地面
Was as hard,一樣的堅硬,
That a yard 那邊的尺碼
Was as long,一樣的長,
That a song 那裏的歌聲
Was as merry,一樣的美妙,
That a cherry 那裏的櫻桃
Was as red,一樣的鮮紅
That lead 那裏的鉛
Was as weighty,一樣的沉重
That fourscore 那裏的八十
Was as eighty,同樣也是八十
That a door 那裏的門
Was as wooden
As in England---和英格蘭一樣,也是木製的
So he stood in his shoes 因此,他着鞋而立
And he wonder'd;大感驚奇;
He stood in his shoes 他着鞋而立
And he wonder'd.大感驚奇。
