罗尔德-达尔 · 反叛的童谣
Jack and the Beanstalk Jack's mother said, 'We're stony broke! 'Go out and find some wealthy bloke 'Who'll buy our cow. Just say she's sound 'And worth at least a hundred pound. 'But don't you dare to let him know 'That she's as old as billy-o.' Jack led the old brown cow away, And came back later in the day, And said, 'Oh mumsie dear, guess what 'Your clever little boy has got. 'I got, I really don't know how, 'A super trade-in for our cow.' The mother said, 'You little creep, 'I'll bet you sold her much too cheap.' When Jack produced one lousy bean, His startled mother, turning green, Leaped high up in the air and cried, 'I'm absolutely stupefied!
杰克和豆茎杰克的母亲说:“我们一贫如洗!出去找个有钱的家伙买我们的牛。 就说她很健康,至少值一百英镑。 “可你可不敢让他知道,她已经和比利一样大了。”杰克牵着那头棕色的老母牛走了,那天晚些时候他又回来了,说:“哦,亲爱的妈妈,猜猜你聪明的小男孩得到了什么?” 我不知道怎么搞到的,我买了个超级折价的东西来换我们的牛母亲说:“你这个讨厌鬼,我敢说你把她卖得太便宜了。”当杰克拿出一颗糟糕的豆子时,他的母亲吓得脸色发青,高高地跳了起来,喊道:“我完全惊呆了!
'You crazy boy! D'you really mean 'You sold our Daisy for a bean?' She snatched the bean. She yelled, 'You chump!' And flung it on the rubbish-dump. Then summoning up all her power, She beat the boy for half an hour, Using (and nothing could be meaner)
“你这个疯孩子!”你的意思是“你把我们家的黛西卖了个小钱?”她抢了豆子。 她喊道:“你这个笨蛋!”然后把它扔进了垃圾堆。 然后,她使出浑身的力气,用(没有什么比这更卑鄙的了)
The handle of a vacuum-cleaner. At ten p.m. or thereabout, The little bean began to sprout. By morning it had grown so tall You couldn't see the top at all. Young Jack cried, 'Mum, admit it now! 'It's better than a rotten cow!' The mother said, 'You lunatic! 'Where are the beans that I can pick? 'There's not one bean! It's bare as bare!' 'No no!' cried Jack. 'You look up there! 'Look very high and you'll behold 'Each single leaf is solid gold!' By gollikins, the boy was right! Now, glistening in the morning light,
真空吸尘器的把手。 晚上十点左右,小豆子开始发芽了。 到了早上,它已经长得很高了,你根本看不到它的顶部。 小杰克叫道:“妈妈,现在就承认吧!“这比一头烂牛好!”母亲说:“你这个疯子!“我能摘的豆子在哪里?” “一个豆子也没有!”它光秃秃的!“不不!”杰克叫道。 “你往上面看!”“往高处看,你会看到每一片叶子都是纯金的!”天哪,那男孩说对了!现在,在晨光中闪闪发光,
The mother actually perceives
母亲实际上是有知觉的
A mass of lovely golden leaves! She yells out loud, 'My sainted souls! 'I'll sell the Mini, buy a Rolls! 'Don't stand and gape, you little clot! 'Get up there quick and grab the lot!' Jack was nimble, Jack was keen. He scrambled up the mighty bean. Up up he went without a stop, But just as he was near the top, A ghastly frightening thing occurred– Not far above his head he heard A big deep voice, a rumbling thing That made the very heavens ring. It shouted loud, 'FE FI FO FUM 'I SMELL THE BLOOD OF AN ENGLISHMAN!' Jack was frightened, Jack was quick, And down he climbed in half a tick.
一大片可爱的金色叶子!她大声喊道:“我神圣的灵魂!“我要卖掉Mini,买一辆劳斯莱斯!”“别站在那儿目瞪口呆,你这个小笨蛋!”“快上去,把所有的东西都抢过来!”杰克很敏捷,也很敏锐。 他爬上了那颗高大的豆子。 他不停地往上爬,但就在他快到山顶的时候,一件可怕的事情发生了——在他头顶不远的地方,他听到一个又大又低沉的声音,一个轰隆作响的东西,把天空都震响了。 它大声喊道:“我闻到了英国人的血味!”杰克吓坏了,杰克反应很快,他一眨眼就爬了下去。
'Oh mum!' he gasped. 'Believe you me 'There's something nasty up our tree! 'I saw him, mum! My gizzard froze! 'A Giant with a clever nose!' 'A clever nose!' his mother hissed. 'You must be going round the twist!' 'He smelled me out, I swear it, mum! 'He said he smelled an Englishman!' The mother said, 'And well he might! 'I've told you every single night 'To take a bath because you smell, 'But would you do it? Would you hell! 'You even make your mother shrink 'Because of your unholy stink!' Jack answered, 'Well, if you're so clean 'Why don't you climb the crazy bean.'
“哦,妈妈!他喘着气说。“相信我,我们的树上有什么可怕的东西!”“我看见他了,妈妈!”我的砂囊都冻僵了!“一个长着聪明鼻子的巨人!”“聪明的鼻子!”他母亲嘶嘶地说。 “你一定是在绕圈子!”“他把我闻出来了,我发誓,妈妈!”“他说他闻到了英国人的味道!”母亲说:“他可能会的!我每天晚上都让你洗澡,因为你身上有味道,但你会这么做吗? 你见鬼去吧!“你甚至让你的母亲退缩” “因为你身上的恶臭”杰克回答说:“好吧,如果你这么干净,为什么不爬上那棵疯豆呢?”
