High up in the apple tree climbing I go, 我爬到苹果树的高处

　　With the sky above me, the earth below. 头上是天空，脚下是大地

　　Each branch is the step of a wonderful stair 每个枝权都是绝妙的阶梯

　　Which leads to the town I see shining up there. 通向我眼中闪闪发光的城镇

　　Climbing, climbing, higher and higher, 我越爬越高，越爬越高，

　　The branches blow and I see a spire, 树枝摇曳，我看见一个尖塔，

　　The gleam of a turret, the glint of a dome, 一个角楼的闪烁，一个圆穹顶的微光，

　　All sparkling and bright, like white sea-foam. 都在一闪一闪地发着亮光，像海面上白色的泡沫。

　　Today to the end of the marvelous stair, 今天在那个奇妙的阶梯尽头。

　　Where those glittering pinnacles flash in the air! 那些闪闪发光的尖塔在空中闪现！

　　Climbing, climbing, higher I go, 我越爬越高，越爬越高，

　　With the sky close above me, the earth far below. 天空在上方离头顶很近，大地在下方离我很远很远。
