人行道尽头在哪里？（双语）

 　　There is a place where the sidewalk ends

　　And before the street begins,

　　And there the grass grows soft and white,

　　And there the sun burns crimson¹ bright,

　　And there the moon-bird rests from his flight

　　To cool in the peppermint² wind.

　　人行道走到尽头的地方，

　　也就是大街起点的前方，

　　那里草长得柔软和洁白，

　　太阳发出深红色的亮光，

　　月亮鸟从飞翔转向休憩，

　　在带薄荷味的风中乘凉。

　　Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black

　　And the dark street winds and bends.

　　Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow

　　We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,

　　And watch where the chalk-white arrows go

　　To the place where the sidewalk ends.

　　让我们离开那烟雾弥漫、

　　暗风和曲曲弯弯的地方。

　　走过那长着沥青的“花朵”，

　　和那最令人厌恶的地方。

　　我们将走得慎重和缓慢，

　　盯着粉笔所描绘的方向，

　　走向人行道尽头的地方。

　　Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,

　　And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,

　　For the children, they mark, and the children, they know

　　The place where the sidewalk ends.

　　是的！

　　我们将走得慎重和缓慢，

　　盯着那粉笔描绘的指向，

　　为了孩子他们标出方向，

　　孩子们也懂得这个用意，

　　那是人行道尽头的方向。
