你怎样感觉 坐在秋千中飘荡,
飞在清新蔚蓝的高天上?
啊,我想那是非常令人愉快的事
让孩子永远兴奋 欢畅 向往!
荡入蓝天 跨越围墙,
我心旷神怡见四周如此宽广,
河水流淌树丛叠绿到处马牛羊
万物尽收眼底 在我乡村的土地上---
当看到下方绿草如茵的花园,
我已降回到深褐色的房顶上---
再次腾越飞翔 我冲上高空,
一遍又一遍 上下飘悠摆荡!
(金舟译于2002年11月20日)
The Swing
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside--
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown--
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
--- By Robert Louis Stevenson
