15 MY SHADOW |
十五 我的影子 |
R obert .Louis Stevenson |
罗伯特·路易斯·斯蒂文森 |
| I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, | 我有个小小的影子，进进出出跟着我， |
| And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. | 我可不大知道他到底有什么用场。 |
| He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; | 他呀，从头到脚都非常非常地像我; |
| And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. | 我跳上床去，倒看见他比我先蹦上床。 |
| The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow ---- | 他怎样成长的呢，嗐，那才叫好玩—— |
| Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; | 全不像真正的孩子那样，慢慢地长大; |
| For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball, | 有时候他长得那么高，象皮球，一蹦窜上天， |
| And he sometimes gets so little that there' s none of him at all. | 有时候他缩得这么小，我完全看不到他。 |
| He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play, | 孩子应该怎样游戏，他可是完全不知道， |
| And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. | 他呀，只知道捉弄我，跟我开玩笑。 |
| He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see; | 他老是紧紧跟着我，真像个胆小鬼，你瞧; |
| I' d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me! | 我像他跟牢我那样去跟牢保姆可多害臊! |
| One morning, very early, before the sun was up, | 一天早上，非常早，太阳还没有起身， |
| I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; | 我起来看到露珠在金凤花儿上闪耀; |
| But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, | 可是我那懒惰的小影子，真贪睡，还不醒， |
| Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed. | 他在我身后，在家里床上，呼呼地睡觉。 |
