The Three Jovial Huntsmen
It’s of three jovial huntsmen，an‘a hunting they did go；
An’they hunted，an‘they hollo’d，an‘they blew their horns also.
Look ye there！
An’one said，“Mind yo‘r e’en，an‘keep yo’r noses reet i‘th’wind，
An‘then；by scent or seet，we’ll leet o‘summat to our mind.”
Look ye there！
三个猎人出门来，
高高兴兴把猎打，
他们一边打猎一边闲聊，还不忘吹响号角，
你们快瞧瞧！
一个猎人大声道，
“风中要把鼻子保护好，循着气味把猎物找，牢记在心别忘掉。”你们快瞧瞧！
They hunted，an’they hollo‘d，an’the first thing they did find
Was a tatter‘t boggart，in a field，an’that they left behind.
Look ye there！
他们一边打猎一边叫，穿着破衣服的稻草人，
在野地里最先被找到，他们不理不睬都走掉。
你们快瞧瞧！
One said it was a boggart，an‘another he said“Nay；
It’s just a ge‘man-farmer，that has gone an’lost his way.”
Look ye there！
一个说是稻草人，一个连连把头摇，
其实只是个农夫，迷路跑到这儿来。
你们来瞧瞧！
They hunted，an‘they hollo’d，an‘the next thing they did find
Was a gruntin’，grindin‘grindlestone，an’that they left behind.
Look ye there！
他们一边打猎一边叫，又发现了块大磨石，
围着磨石看一会儿，不理不睬都走掉。
你们快瞧瞧！
One said it was a grindlestone，another he said“Nay；
It‘s nought but an’owd fossil cheese，that somebody‘s roll’t away.”Look ye there！
一个说是大磨石，一个连连把头摇，
“其实是奶酪化成石，被人滚到这儿来了。”
你们快瞧瞧！
They hunted，an‘they hollo’d，an‘the next thing they did find，
Was a bull-calf in a pin-fold，an’that，too，they left behind.
Look ye there！
他们一边打猎一边叫，
接着看见了一头牛，
小牛被关在围栏里，
他们不理不睬又走掉。
你们快瞧瞧！
One said it was a bull-calf，an‘another he said“Nay；
It’s just a painted jackass，that has never larnt to bray.”
Look ye there！
一个说是小牛犊，
一个连连把头摇，
“其实只是驴画像，
它都不曾大声叫。”
你们来瞧瞧！
They hunted，an‘they hollo’d，an‘the next thing they did find
Was a two-three children leaving school，an’these they left behind.
Look ye there！
One said that they were children，but another he said“Nay；
They‘re no’but little angels，so we‘ll leave’em to their play.”
Look ye there！
他们一边打猎一边叫，发现一群放学的孩子，
孩子们大概两三岁，他们不理不睬都走掉。
你们快瞧瞧！
一个说是小孩童，一个连连把头摇，
“其实他们是小天使，我们赶紧离开别打扰。”
你们来瞧瞧！
They hunted，an‘they hollo’d，an‘the next thing they did find
Was a fat pig smiling in a ditch，an’that，too，they left behind.
Look ye there！
他们一边打猎一边叫，看见一头小猪在微笑，
胖胖的小猪坐沟里，他们不理不睬又走掉。
你们快瞧瞧！
One said it was a fat pig，but another he said“Nay；
It‘s just a Lunnon，whose clothes are stole away.”
Look ye there！
一个说是小胖猪，一个连连把头摇，
“其实是伦农奥德曼，只是他的衣服被偷了。”
你们快瞧瞧！
They hunted，an’they hollo‘d，an’the next thing they did find
Was two young lovers in a lane，an‘these they left behind.
Look ye there！
One said that they were lovers，but another he said“Nay；
They’re two poor wanderin‘lunatics--come，let us go away.”Look ye there！
他们一边打猎一边叫，发现两个年轻人在小道，
原来他们是恋人，他们不理不睬都走掉。
你们来瞧瞧！
一个说那俩是恋人，一个连连把头摇，
“只是两个穷疯子，我们还是赶快离开的好。”
你们来瞧瞧！
So they hunted，and they hollo’d，till the setting of the sun；
An‘they’d nought to bring away at last，when th‘huntin’-day was done.Look ye there！
Then one unto the other said，“This huntin‘doesn’t pay；
But we‘n powler’t up an‘down a bit，an’had a rattlin‘day.”
Look ye there！
所以他们一边打猎一边叫，
直到太阳公公下山了，
两手空空无所获，
打猎就这样结束了。
你们快瞧瞧！
一人对着同伴说：“这次打猎没成果，
不过骑马随意走走，这样一天也挺好。”
你们来瞧瞧！
