第5章 唱一首六便士的歌

Sing a Song for Sixpence,

唱一首六便士的歌,

A Pocketful of Rye;

一袋子满满的黑麦;

Four-and-Twenty BlackbirdsBaked in a Pie.

把二十四只黑鸫,

烤进馅饼里。

9When the Pie was opened, 切开馅饼时,

The birds began to sing; 黑鸫唱起来;

Was not that a dainty Dish,

To set before the King?

这么美味的佳肴,

快献给国王尝一尝?

The King was in his Counting-house,

Counting out his Money.

国王正在国库里,

清点财富呢。

The Queen was in the Parlour, 皇后正在大厅里,

Eating Bread and Honey. 享用面包和蜂蜜。

The Maid was in the Garden,

Hanging out the Clothes;

女仆正在花园里,

晾晒衣服呢;

There came a little Blackbird, 飞来了一只小黑鸫,

And snapped off her Nose. 往她的鼻子上啄。

But there came a Jenny Wren

and popped it on again.

但是又飞过来一只小鹪鹩,

把她的鼻子接上了。
