A MOMENT TOO LATE 为时已晚
A moment too late, my beautiful bird, 仅只迟了一点,我漂亮的小鸟,
A moment too late are you now; 你只是晚了那么一点点,
The wind has your soft, downy nest disturbed 你悬挂在树枝上柔软温暖的巢,
A moment too late; that string in your bill, 只是迟了一点点,你嘴上的绳线,
Would have fastened it firmly and strong; 本来可以把巢紧紧绑牢;
But see, there it goes, rolling over the hill! 可是你看,它已滚落到山那边!
Oh, you staid a moment too long. 噢,你逗留的时间短一点点多好。
A moment, one moment too late, busy bee; 一点点,忙碌的蜜蜂就迟了一点点,
The honey has dropped from the flower: 花朵上的蜜已经滴落在地;
No use to creep under the petals and see; 现在再也不必爬到花瓣下察看,
It stood ready to drop for an hour. 它在那儿摇摇欲坠足有一小时。
A moment too late; had you sped on your wing, 只是迟了一点点,如果快点扇动翅膀,
The honey would not have been gone; 蜂蜜就不会消失;
Now you see what a very, a very sad thing 你看这事多么令人伤心,
T is to stay a moment too long. 哪怕它再多停留一下子。
Little girl, never be a moment too late, 小宝贝,千万不要迟到,哪怕一点点,
It will soon end in trouble or crime; 瞬间也会招致恶果或麻烦;
Better be an hour early, and stand and wait, 宁可提早一小时站立等候,
Than a moment behind the time. 胜过落后迟到一点点。
If the bird and the bee, little boy, were too late, 男孩,如果小鸟和蜜蜂为时太晚,
Remember, as you play along 记住,当你在上学途中玩耍流连,
Never stay a moment too long. 千万不要停留太久,哪怕只是一点点。
