LESSON 73 SONG OF THE SHIRT

第七十三课衬衫之歌

With fingers weary and worn, with eyelids¹ heavy and red, a woman sat, in unwomanly rags, plying² her needle and thread:

手指酸软渐磨伤，眼皮沉重血丝浓，衣不遮体斜身坐，针线飞舞又穿梭；

Stitch! stitch! stitch!

一针一针再一针！

In poverty, hunger, and dirt, and still with a voice of dolorous³ pitch, she sang the "Song of the Shirt!"

饥寒交迫哪堪当，声音悲呛引吭歌，却道是《衬衫之歌》！

"Work! work! work!"

“干活！干活！再干活！”

While the cock is crowing aloof⁴! and work! work! work!, till the stars shine through the roof!

公鸡一声待报晓！干活！干活！再干活！只待寒星映琼宇！

It is oh to be a slave along with the barbarous Turk, where woman has never a soul to save, if this is Christian⁵ work!

把身为奴空嗟叹，土耳其人真野蛮，要把灵魂来拯救，只有基督方成事！

"Work! work! work!", till the brain begins to swim;

“干活！干活！再干活！” 脑袋开始嗡嗡响；

Work! work! work!, till the eyes are heavy and dim!

干活！干活！再干活！眼皮沉重视物茫！

Seam, and gusset, and band, band, and gusset, and seam,

缝针上袖绑扎带，反过来亦是一样，

till over the buttons I fall asleep, and sew them on in a dream!

缝罢扣子入梦乡，梦里依稀缝纫忙！

O men, with sisters dear! O men, with mothers and wives! It is not linen⁶ you're wearing out, But human creatures'lives! Stitch! stitch! stitch!

姐妹切伴在君侧！慈母娇妻神亦伤！衣破不复亚麻样，恰似人生空悲切！一针！一针！再一针！

In poverty, hunger, and dirt, sewing at once, with a double thread, a shroud⁷ as well as a shirt.

饥寒交迫哪堪当，切用双线来缝纫，缝了尸布又缝衫。
