LESSON 6 The humming-bird 第六课 蜂鸟
The humming-bird! the humming-bird! 小蜂鸟，小蜂鸟
So fairy-like and bright; 仙子般聪明又可爱
It lives amongst the sunny flowers, 家住向日葵的花苞处
A creature of delight! 生活快乐又自在
In the radiant islands of the East, 东方仙岛处
Where fragrant 1 spices grow, 香料树木一大堆
A thousand thousand humming-birds 千千万万小蜂鸟
Go glancing to and fro. 成群涌向仙岛
Like living fires they flit about, 穿越了大火
Scarce larger than a bee, 但是比蜂小
Amongst the broad palmetto leaves, 只好栖息棕榈叶
And through the fan-palm tree. 或是栖息蒲葵树
There builds her nest the humming-bird, 王后在古木的深处
Within the ancient wood, 带兵建造蜂鸟巢
Her nest of silky cotton-down, 建成棉絮丝绸巢
And rears her tiny brood. 好为哺育小宝宝
She hangs it to a slender twig 2, 放置宝宝于树枝
Where it waves light and free, 但是枝干易甩动
As the campanero tolls 3 his song 因为钟鸟鸣钟声
While rocks the mighty 4 tree. 整棵树都被晃动
All crimson 5 is her shining breast, 蜂鸟王后心情差
Like to the red, red rose; 身体渐渐地变红
Her wing is the changeful green and blue 翅膀颜色绿又蓝
That the neck of the peacock shows. 就如孔雀展翅般
Thou happy, happy humming-bird, 如此快乐小蜂鸟
No winter round thee lowers; 再次面临寒冬季
Thou never saw'st a leafless tree, 树叶全都脱光光
Nor land without sweet flowers: 香花也都消失了
A reign 6 of summer joyfulness 7 夏季快乐非常多
To thee for life is given; 生活供给很充足
Thy food the honey from the flower, 食物来自鲜花蜜
Thy drink the dew from heaven! 水源来自天降雨
—Mary Howitt —Mary Howitt
