My Shadow 我的影子

　　I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,

　　And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.

　　He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;

　　And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

　　當(dāng)我跳到我的床上。我看見他在我面前跳。

　　The funniest things about him is the way he likes to grow-

　　最有趣的是他的生長的方式—

　　Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;

　　一點(diǎn)都不像孩子的成長，永遠(yuǎn)都那么緩慢；

　　For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India rubber ball,

　　他有時(shí)會像一個(gè)印度橡皮球一樣一會一個(gè)高度，

　　And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.

　　他有時(shí)會很小，小的我完全看不見他。

　　He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,

　　還沒有一個(gè)孩子知道應(yīng)該怎么和他一起玩，

　　And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.

　　只能用各種各樣的方法愚弄我。

　　He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see;

　　你可以看到；他在我身旁總是那么近，像個(gè)膽小鬼

　　I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

　　我不想擺脫不想讓這條影子粘著我！

　　One morning, very early, before the sun was up,

　　一天很早的早上，在太陽升起之前

　　I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;

　　我發(fā)現(xiàn)閃亮的露珠在每個(gè)毛莨屬植物；

　　But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,

　　但我的懶惰的小影子，像個(gè)徹頭徹尾的瞌睡蟲，

　　Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

　　他和我呆在家里，躺在床上，很快地睡著。
