精美英文欣赏:午后在山麓上

I will be the gladdest thing

Under the sun!

I will touch a hundred flowers

And not pick one.

我将是最开心的人儿

沐浴于阳光之下！

我将抚遍百花

却不摘下一朵。

I will look at cliffs¹ and clouds

With quiet eye

Watch the wind bow² down the gras

And the grass rise.

我将用宁静的双眼

凝视云彩和崖壁；

看风儿吹弯青草，

青草复而直立。

And when lights begin to show

Up from the town,

I will mark which must be mine,

And then start down!

当灯火初放

源于镇上，

我将标出我的一盏，

然后步向山下！
