精美英文欣赏:我记得呀,我记得

I remember, I remember The house where I was born, The little window where the sun Came peeping in at 1)morn; He never came a wink¹ too soon Nor brought too long a day; But now, I often wish the night Had borne my breath away.

我记得呀，我记得 我出生的那间屋子， 早晨，阳光从小窗 进来窥视； 他从不早来片刻， 也不多留半晌， 但现在，我常愿黑夜 带走我的呼吸。

　　 I remember, I remember The rose red and white, The violet and the lily-cups— Those flowers made of light! The lilacs where the robin² built, And where my brother set The laburnum on his birthday,— The tree is living yet!

我记得呀，我记得 玫瑰花红白相映， 还有紫罗兰和百合—— 全是由光织成的花朵！ 有知更鸟筑巢的紫丁香， 还有哥哥在他生日那天 种植的金链花，—— 它依然存活着！

　　 I remember, I remember Where I used to swing, And thought the air must rush as fresh To swallows on the wing; My spirit flew in feathers then That is so heavy now, And summer pools could hardly cool The fever on my brow.

我记得呀，我记得 我从前常在那儿荡秋千， 想着拂面的风是如此清爽 风中的飞燕肯定也感觉一样； 昔日我那自在翱翔的心灵， 如今变得如此沉重， 即使夏日的池塘也无法冷却 我额头的热狂！

　　 I remember, I remember The fir trees dark and high; I used to think their slender tops Were close against the sky: It was a childish ignorance, But now ’tis little joy To know I’m farther off from Heaven Than when I was a boy.

　　 我记得呀，我记得 苍郁高耸的冷杉； 我从前常以为它们细长的树梢 已经逼近天空； 虽然那只是孩子的幼稚无知， 但是现在却少有那般快乐 我知道儿时离我那么近的天堂 如今已经越来越远了。
