On the seashore of endless worlds children meet.
The infinite sky is motionless overhead
And the restless water is boisterous.
On the seashore of endless worlds
The children meet with shouts and dances
在无尽世界的海滨,孩子们相聚。
头上无垠的天空静止,不息的海水狂暴。
在无尽世界的海滨,
孩子们相聚、叫着、跳着
They build their houses with sand,
And they play with empty shells.
With withered leaves they weave
Their boats and smilingly float them
On the vast deep.
Children have their play on the
Seashore of worlds.
他们以沙筑屋,他们戏耍着空贝壳,
他们用凋萎的枯叶编制它们的船只,
然后微笑地让他们在深海中飘浮。
孩子们有自己的游戏,在世界的海滨
They know not how to swim,
They know not how to cast nets.
Pearl-fishers dive for pearls,
Merchants sail in their ships,
While children gather pebbles
And scatter them again.
They seek not for hidden treasures,
They know not how to cast nets.
MOTHER, the folk who live up in the clouds call out to me--
妈妈,住在云端的人对我唤道——“我们从醒的时候游戏到白日终止。
"We play from the time we wake till the day ends.
“我们与黄金色的曙光游戏,我们与银白色的月亮游戏。”
We play with the golden dawn, we play with the silver moon.
我问道:“但是,我怎么能够上你那里去呢?”
I ask, "But, how am I to get up to you?" They answer, "Come to the edge of the earth, lift up your hands to the sky, and you will be taken up into the clouds." 他们答道:“你到地球的边上来,举手向天,就可以被接到云端里来了。”
"My mother is waiting for me at home," I say. "How can I leave her and come?"
“我妈妈在家里等我呢,”我说,“我怎么能离开她而来呢?”
Then they smile and float away.

The folk who live in the waves call out to me--
住在波浪上的人对我唤道—— “我们从早晨唱歌到晚上;我们前进又前进地旅行,也不知我们所经过的是什么地方。”
"We sing from morning till night; on and on we travel and know not where we pass."
我问道:“但是,我怎么能加入你们队伍里去呢?”
I ask, "But, how am I to join you?" They tell me, "Come to the edge of the shore and stand with your eyes tight shut, and you will be carried out upon the waves." 他们告诉我说:“来到岸旁,站在那里,紧闭你的两眼,你就被带到波浪上来了。”
I say, "My mother always wants me at home in the evening--how can I leave her and go?"
我说:“傍晚的时候,我妈妈常要我在家里——我怎么能离开她而去呢!”

AH, these jasmines, these white jasmines!
呵,这些茉莉花,这些白的茉莉花!

I have heard the liquid murmur of the river through the darkness of midnight;

O YOU shaggy-headed banyan tree standing on the bank of the pond, have you forgotten thelittle child, like the birds that have nested in your branches and left you?

Do you not remember how he sat at the window and wondered at the tangle of your roots thatplunged underground?
你不记得是他怎样坐在窗内,诧异地望着你深入地下的纠缠的树根么?
The women would come to fill their jars in the pond, and your huge black shadow wouldwriggle on the water like sleep struggling to wake up.

Sunlight danced on the ripples like restless tiny shuttles weaving golden tapestry.

Two ducks swam by the weedy margin above their shadows, and the child would sit still andthink.

When the heavy rain patters for hours on the bamboo leaves, and our windows shake and rattle at the gusts of wind, I like to sit alone in the room, mother, with you, and hear you talk about the desert of Tep?ntar in the fairy tale. 当大雨倾泻在竹叶子上好几个钟头,而我们的窗户为狂风震得格格发响的时候,我就爱独自和你坐在屋里,妈妈,听你讲童话里的特潘塔沙漠的故事。
Where is it, mother, on the shore of what sea, at the foot of what hills, in the kingdom of what king? 它在哪里,妈妈,在哪一个海洋的岸上,在哪些个山峰的脚下,在哪一个国王的国土里?
There are no hedges there to mark the fields, no footpath across it by which the villagers reach their village in the evening, or the woman who gathers dry sticks in the forest can bring her load to the market. With patches of yellow grass in the sand and only one tree where the pair of wise old birds have their nest, lies the desert of Tep?ntar. 田地上没有此疆彼壤的界石,也没有村人在黄昏时走回家的,或妇人在树林里捡拾 枯枝而捆载到市场上去的道路。沙地上只有一小块一小块的黄色草地,只有一株树,就是那一对聪明的老鸟儿在那里做窝的,那个地方就是特潘塔沙漠。
I can imagine how, on just such a cloudy day, the young son of the king is riding alone on a grey horse through the desert, in search of the princess who lies imprisoned in the giant's palace across that unknown water. 我能够想象得到,就在这样一个乌云密布的日子,国王的年轻的儿子,怎样地独自 骑着一匹灰色马,走过这个沙漠,去寻找那被囚禁在不可知的重洋之外的巨人宫里的公主。
When the haze of the rain comes down in the distant sky, and lightning starts up like a sudden fit of pain, does he remember his unhappy mother, abandoned by the king, sweeping the cow-stall and wiping her eyes, while he rides through the desert of Tep?ntar in the fairy tale? 当雨雾在遥远的天空下降,电光像一阵突然发作的痛楚的痉挛似地闪射的时候,他 可记得他的不幸的母亲,为国王所弃,正在扫除牛棚,眼里流着眼泪,当他骑马走过童话里的特潘塔沙漠的时候?
See, mother, it is almost dark before the day is over, and there are no travellers yonder on the village road. 看,妈妈,一天还没有完,天色就差不多黑了,那边村庄的路上没有什么旅客了。
The shepherd boy has gone home early from the pasture, and men have left their fields to sit on mats under the eaves of their huts, watching the scowling clouds. 牧童早就从牧场上回家了,人们都已从田地里回来,坐在他们草屋的檐下的草席上,眼望着阴沉的云块。
Mother, I have left all my books on the shelf--do not ask me to do my lessons now. 妈妈,我把我所有的书本都放在书架上了——不要叫我现在做功课。
