1.Pretty Cow( Jane Taylor,1783-1824)

Thank you, pretty cow, that made
Pleasant milk to soak my bread
Every day and every night,
Warm, and fresh, and sweet, and white.

Do not chew the hemlock rank,
Growing on the weedy bank;
But the yellow cowslips eat,
That will make it very sweet.

Where the purple violet grows,
Where the bubbling water flows,
Where the grass is fresh and fine,
Pretty cow, go there and dine.







美丽的乳牛

美丽的乳牛
感谢你带给我沾面包的牛奶
日以继夜
温暖新鲜 纯白香甜

别吃长在杂草岸边
繁茂的常青树
要吃能让你乳汁
更加香甜的黄樱草

紫罗兰生长之处
潺潺流水之处
芳草萋萋之处
才是你觅食的好去处


























3.Life Is So Short 生命如此短促
(Japanese folksong)

Life is so short, 生命如此短促
Fall in love,dear maiden, 尽情去爱吧！女孩
While your lips are still red 趁你的红唇仍艳
And before your passion cools, 热情冷卻之前

For there will be no tomorrow. 切莫空等待明天

Life is so short, 生命如此短促
Fall in love,dear mailden 尽情去爱吧！女孩
While your hair is still balck, 趁你的秀发犹黒
And before your heart withers, 别让灵魂枯萎
For today will not come again. 今日一去不再回

7.Those Winter Sundays
(Robert Hayden,1913-1980)

Sundays too my father got up early
And put his clothes on in the blueback cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
From labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.

I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he'd call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,

Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices?

冬季的星期天

星期天也一样
父亲一大早就起床
在冰冷中穿上衣服
天色还很黑
然后用他那双龟裂而隐隐作痛的
平日里做尽粗活的手
把炉火弄热
从来没有人谢过他

我醒来听到冰冷逐渐裂解
等到房间暖和了他会叫我
然后我才慢吞吞的起身穿衣
害怕面对屋里长期的怨气

我用冰冷的口气跟他说话
那个辛苦的把冰冷赶走的人
他把我的皮鞋也擦好了
我何曾懂得我何曾懂得
父亲的辛苦和孤独

















9.Little Kids
( Ella Wheeler Wilcox)

'Little kids,' you call us
As we are at play.
You were little children
Just the other day.

Now to-morrow nears us,
Soon we too shall stand
Men and women rulers
Of the sea and land.

'Little kids' at play time:
But at home or school
Think about our future,
Make us fit to rule.

Guide us wisely onward—
Teach us what is true.
Though we are but kiddies
We are watching you!

Give us good examples!
While we are at play,
Often we are aping
What you do and say.



小孩

玩耍时
你叫我们小孩
其实你们也曾是小孩

明天马上就到
不久我们将长高
成为世界的主人
