Oh, the horns—so it’s a snall.

看，那些触角——是蜗牛。

Sluggard, if you wish to please us

若想讨我们欢心，懒姑娘呵，

Study harder, and you won’t fail!

从今须把功课更熟地温习；

We aren’t those same rowdy drunks

我们早已不是持久地

Swilling polar concoctions

醉在极地饮料里的坏小子，

Since the ice floes have lately shrunk.

当浪涛也不再靠冰而活。

Aged sixteen: the ice is raspberry;

十六岁：覆盆子味的冰激凌。

I won’t ransack your basket

我绝不掏空你的提篮，

Till the jeering dawn is fit to bury.

在这讥诮的黎明陨死之前。

At my age, it looks dumb to cry;

到我这般年纪，眼泪已不复迷人；

I’ll climb near the sun, up in the attic,

我将去太阳近旁，退进阁楼里，

So that my tears will quickly dry.

让眼泪干涸得再快一点。
