摇篮故事 第8期

小猫耐尔

从前有一只小猫，

她的名字叫耐尔。

她穿着漂亮的蓝围嘴

和一件好看的衬衫。

there was once a little kitten

her name was kitty nell

she had a nice blue pinafore-

a pretty shirt as well

但是小猫耐尔在哭。

看看可怜的耐尔哭得多伤心。

她哭啊哭啊，为什么我不是

印地安人呢？为什么？

but kitty nell was crying

just see poor nelly cry

she sobbed and sobbed,why can I be

an indian,oh why?

我怎么才能成为印地安人呢？

请告诉我，她问花朵。

花朵说，我不知道，

你可以去问问公鸡。

how can I be an indian,

she asked the flower,please talk

the flower said,I do not know

but go and ask the cock

好吧，公鸡回答，

那你得去印地安人那里。

噢，在哪里？小猫问，

离这里很远吗？

right,said the cock,you have to go

to where the indians are

oh,said the kitten,where is that?

and is it very far?

哦，我知道，是的，我知道，

一条鱼突然喊起来。

小猫咪，我可以带你去，

我知道在哪里。

oh,I know what,yes,I know what

a fish cried suddenly

kitty,I‘t going to take you there

I know where it must be

快过来，坐在这里，

小猫耐尔，跳到我背上来，

我会带你去那里，

还会把你带回来。

so come and sit here,kitty nell

up here upon my back

and I will take you over there

and then I'll bring you back

早安，猴子，鱼说，

这儿有印地安人吗？

足足有一百个，猴子说，

在那边你会看到他们。

good morning,monkey,said the fish

is there an indian here?

about a hundred,monkey said

you'll see them over there

哦，耐尔多么吃惊啊！

她看到印地安人跑过来，

全都大声喊，小猫耐尔，你好！

你来了我们真高兴。

oh,how surprised was kitty nell

to see the indians run

all shouting,kitty nell,how nice,

we're glad that you have come

你知道有个印地安人

送给小猫耐尔什么吗？

一顶火红的、真正的印地安帽子！

还插着漂亮的羽毛。

do you see what an indian

has given kitty now?

a real red indian bonnet

with indian feathers,too

于是小猫耐尔和勇敢的印地安人

跳了整整一天的舞。

到小猫耐尔该离开的时候，

印地安人不停地挥着手。

and then they danced the whole day through

kitty and all the braves

when it was time for nell to go

how all the indians waved!

鱼把小猫耐尔带回家。

小猫对鱼说，

谢谢你对我这么好，

你让我实现了愿望。

the fish took kitty nell back home

and kitty told the fish

thank you for being so good to me

you're given me my wish
