【英译汉】A Boat beneath a Sunny Sky

rlee

Knowing I cannot possess all the facts, I have learned the importance of shunning sensitive topics. In so doing, I can keep myself from being swamped into floods of verbal fighting. I hope the forum to be reopened to welcome people back, especially those innnocent who have been nice to people.
If you have a chance, could you please copy some interesting topics here? Thanks!

Humpty Dumpty's Song
     
~Lewis Carroll
  
In winter, when the fields are white,
I sing this song for your delight.

In Spring, when woods are getting green,
I'll try and tell you what I mean.

In Summer, when the days are long,
Perhaps you'll understand the song.

In Autumn, when the leaves are brown,
Take pen and ink, and write it down.

I sent a message to the fish:
I told them "This is what I wish."

"It will be better to obey."

The fishes answered, with a grin,
"Why, what a temper you are in!"

I told them once, I told them twice:
They would not listen to advice.

I took a kettle large and new,
Fit for the deed I had to do.

My heart went hop, my heart went thump:
I filled the kettle at the pump.

Then someone came to me and said
"The little fishes are in bed."

I said to him, I said it plain,
"Then you must wake them up again."

I said it very loud and clear:
I went and shouted in his ear.

But he was very stiff and proud:
He said "You needn't shout so loud!"

And he was very proud and stiff:
He said "I'd go and wake them, if-"

I took a corkscrew from the shelf:
I went to wake them up myself.

And when I found the door was locked,
I pulled and pushed and kicked and knocked.

And when I found the door was shut,
I tried to turn the handle, but-

The fishes answered, with a grin, 这个grin用得绝妙！
