The Pig
It was an evening in November,
As I very well remember,
I was 1)strolling down the street in 2)drunken pride,
But my knees were all 3)aflutter,
And I landed in the 4)gutter 1
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.
Yes, I lay there in the gutter
Thinking thoughts I could not utter,
When a colleen passing by did softly say,
“You can tell a man who 5)boozes
By the 6)company he chooses.”
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.
猪
那个十一月之夜，
叫我没齿难忘，
醺然醉步流连在街头，
可膝盖晃晃悠悠，
我便扎进了水沟，
一头猪走近来趴在身旁。
对，我躺在水沟里
思潮奔涌却苦无一言，
一名少女走过，殷然细语：
“区分人品好坏，
莫过于看他择谁与伴”--
猪遂起，缓身弃然而去。
