Bed in Summer
夏日就寝
by Robert Louis Stevenson
In winter I get up at night
冬日晨曦未露却须起床，
And dress by yellow candlelight.
借着黄色烛光穿起衣裳。
In summer, quit the other way,
夏日来到一切完全颠倒，
I have to go to bed by day.
天还大亮却非要我上床。
I have to go to bed and see
人卧床上却东张西望，
The birds still hopping on the tree,
鸟儿依然在树梢跃荡，
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
听闻大人们屋边碎步，
Still going past me in the street.
依然沿街来来又往往。
And does it seem hard to you,
若是你，难道不倍感哀伤？
When all the sky is clear and blue,
蔚蓝无云，晴天空旷，
And I should like so much to play,
都知道我如此喜欢玩耍，
To have to go to bed by day?
却必须大白天就得上床？
