Bed in Summer 夏之眠     

In winter I get up at night

And dress by yellow candle-light.

In summer, quite the other way,

I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see

The birds still hopping on the tree,

Or hear the grown-up people’s feet

Still going past me in the street.

And does it seem hard to you,

When all the sky is clear and blue,

And I should like so much to play,

To have to go to bed by day?

冬日里我夜里起床，

借着昏黄的烛光穿衣裳。

夏日里可不一样，

我不得不白日里就睡觉上床。

小鸟儿仍在树上蹦蹦跳跳，

大人们的脚步声

还在大街上回响，

我却得早早睡觉上床。

天空还是那么蔚蓝，明亮，

我多么想嬉戏，玩耍，

你是否觉得

这时候就睡觉难入梦乡？
