| WHEN the gong sounds ten in the morning and I walk to school by our lane, | 早晨，钟敲十下的时候，我沿着我们的小巷到学校去。 |
| Every day I meet the hawker crying, "Bangles, crystal bangles!" | 每天我都遇见那个小贩，他叫道：“镯子呀，亮晶晶的镯子！” |
| There is nothing to hurry him on, there is no road he must take, no place he must go to, no time when he must come home. | 他没有什么事情急着要做，他没有哪条街一定要走，他没有什么地方一定要去，他没有什么时间一定要回家。 |
| I wish I were a hawker, spending my day in the road, crying, "Bangles, crystal bangles!" | 我愿意我是一个小贩，在街上过日子，叫着：“镯子呀，亮晶晶的镯子！” |
| When at four in the afternoon I come back from the school, | 下午四点，我从学校里回家。 |
| I can see through the gate of that house the gardener digging the ground. | 从一家门口，我看得见一个园丁在那里掘地。 |
| He does what he likes with his spade, he soils his clothes with dust, nobody takes him to task if he gets baked in the sun or gets wet. | 他用他的锄子，要怎么掘，便怎么掘，他被尘土污了衣裳，如果他被太阳晒黑了或是身上被打湿了，都没有人骂他。 |
| I wish I were a gardener digging away at the garden with nobody to stop me from digging. | 我愿意我是一个园丁，在花园里掘地。谁也不来阻止我。 |
| Just as it gets dark in the evening and my mother sends me to bed, | 天色刚黑，妈妈就送我上床。 |
| I can see through my open window the watchman walking up and down. | 从开着的窗口，我看得见更夫走来走去。 |
| The lane is dark and lonely, and the street-lamp stands like a giant with one red eye in its head. | 小巷又黑又冷清，路灯立在那里，像一个头上生着一只红眼睛的巨人。 |
| The watchman swings his lantern and walks with his shadow at his side, and never once goes to bed in his life. | 更夫摇着他的提灯，跟他身边的影子一起走着，他一生一次都没有上床去过。 |
| I wish I were a watchman walking the streets all night, chasing the shadows with my lantern. | 我愿意我是一个更夫，整夜在街上走，提了灯去追逐影子。 |
