双语有声阅读：夏之眠

Bed in Summer

 

——Robert Louis Stevenson

 

In winter I get up at night

 

And dress by yellow candle-light

 

In summer, quite the other way,

 

I have to go to bed by day.

 

I have to go to bed and see

 

The birds still hopping¹ on the tree,

 

Or hear the grown-up² people's feet

 

Still going past me in the street.

 

And does it seem hard to you,

 

When all the sky is clear and blue,

 

And I should like so much to play,

 

To have to go to bed by day?

 

夏之眠

 

冬日里我夜里起床

 

借着昏黄的烛光穿衣裳

 

夏日里可不一样

 

我不得不白日里就睡觉上床

 

小鸟儿仍在树上蹦蹦跳跳

 

大人们的脚步声

 

还在大街上回响

 

我却得早早睡觉上床

 

天空还是那么蔚蓝，明亮

 

我多么想嬉戏，玩耍

 

你是否觉得

 

这时候就睡觉难入梦乡？
