双语有声阅读：青春的自豪(沃尔特.司各特)

 

The Pride of Youth by Walter Scott

 

Proud Maisie is in the wood,

 

Walking so early;

 

Sweet Robin¹ sits on the bush,

 

Singing so rarely.

 

"tell me ,thou bonny bird,

 

when shall I marry ye?"

 

--"when six braw gentlemen

 

kirkward shall carry ye."

 

"who makes the bridal bed,

 

birdie, say truly?"

 

"The gray-headed sexton

 

That delves² the grave duly.

 

"The glowworm o'er grave and stone

 

Shall light thee steady;

 

The owl³ from the steeple sing,

 

Welcome, proud lady."

 

青春的自豪(沃尔特.司各特)

 

骄傲的梅西漫步林间，

踩着晨曦；

伶俐的知更鸟栖息树丛，

唱得甜蜜。

 

“告诉我，美丽的鸟儿，

我哪年哪月穿嫁装？”－－

“等到六个殡葬人

抬你上教堂。”

 

谁为我铺新床？

好鸟儿，莫撒谎。”－－

白发司事，兼挖墓穴，

误不了你的洞房。”

 

萤火虫幽幽闪闪，

把你的坟墓照亮，送葬，

猫头鹰将在塔尖高唱：

欢迎你，骄傲的姑娘。”
