罗尔德-达尔 · 反叛的童谣
Goldilocks and the Three Bears This famous wicked little tale Should never have been put on sale. It is a mystery to me Why loving parents cannot see That this is actually a book About a brazen little crook. Had I the chance I wouldn't fail To clap young Goldilocks in jail. Now just imagine how you'd feel If you had cooked a lovely meal, Delicious porridge, steaming hot, Fresh coffee in the coffee-pot, With maybe toast and marmalade, The table beautifully laid, One place for you and one for dad, Another for your little lad.
《金发姑娘和三只熊》这个著名的邪恶小故事本不应该出售的。 为什么慈爱的父母看不出这其实是一本关于一个无耻的小骗子的书,这对我来说是个谜。 如果我有机会,我一定会在监狱里为年轻的金发姑娘鼓掌。 现在想象一下,如果你煮了一顿美味的饭,美味的粥,热气腾腾,咖啡壶里的新鲜咖啡,也许还有烤面包和果酱,桌子摆放得很漂亮,一个地方给你,一个地方给爸爸,另一个地方给你的小家伙。
Then dad cries, 'Golly-gosh! Gee-whizz! 'Oh cripes! How hot this porridge is! 'Let's take a walk along the street 'Until it's cool enough to eat.' He adds, 'An early morning stroll 'Is good for people on the whole. 'It makes your appetite improve 'It also helps your bowels to move.' No proper wife would dare to question Such a sensible suggestion, Above all not at breakfast-time When men are seldom at their prime. No sooner are you down the road Than Goldilocks, that little toad, That nosey thieving little louse, Comes sneaking in your empty house. She looks around. She quickly notes Three bowls brimful of porridge oats. And while still standing on her feet, She grabs a spoon and starts to eat. I say again, how would you feel If you had made this lovely meal And some delinquent little tot Broke in and gobbled up the lot?
然后爸爸叫道:“天哪!Gee-whizz !“哦,天啊! !这粥多热啊!“我们沿街散步吧” “直到天凉了可以吃东西”他补充说,“清晨散步”总体上对人有好处。 “它能改善你的食欲,还能促进肠道蠕动。”没有哪个贤妻良妻敢对这样明智的建议提出质疑,尤其是在吃早饭的时候,因为男人难得壮年。 你刚踏上这条路,金发姑娘,那只小癞蛤蟆,那只爱管闲事、爱偷东西的小虱子,就偷偷溜进你的空房子。 她环顾四周。她很快注意到三碗燕麦粥。 当她还站着的时候,她抓起勺子开始吃。 我再说一遍,如果你做了这么丰盛的一顿饭,而某个不听话的小家伙闯进来,把它全吃了,你会有什么感觉?
But wait! That's not the worst of it! Now comes the most distressing bit. You are of course a houseproud wife, And all your happy married life You have collected lovely things Like gilded cherubs wearing wings, And furniture by Chippendale Bought at some famous auction sale. But your most special valued treasure, The piece that gives you endless pleasure, Is one small children's dining-chair, Elizabethan, very rare. It is in fact your joy and pride, Passed down to you on grandma's side. But Goldilocks, like many freaks, Does not appreciate antiques. She doesn't care, she doesn't mind, And now she plonks her fat behind Upon this dainty precious chair, And crunch! It busts beyond repair. A nice girl would at once exclaim, 'Oh dear! Oh heavens! What a shame!' Not Goldie. She begins to swear. She bellows, 'What a lousy chair!' And uses one disgusting word
但是等等!这还不是最糟糕的!现在是最痛苦的时刻。 你当然是个家庭主妇,在你幸福的婚姻生活中你收集了很多可爱的东西比如戴着翅膀的镀金小天使,还有奇本代尔的家具在某个著名的拍卖会上买的。 但你最珍贵的宝贝,带给你无尽快乐的那件,是一把儿童餐椅,伊丽莎白时代的,非常罕见。 它其实是你的快乐和骄傲,在奶奶的身边传给了你。 但是金凤花姑娘,像许多怪人一样,不喜欢古董。 她不在乎,她不介意,现在她把她的肥屁股重重地放在这张精致珍贵的椅子上,嘎吱嘎吱!它破裂了,无法修复。 一个好姑娘会立刻惊呼:“噢,天哪!哦,天啊!真可惜!”不是高迪。 她开始咒骂。她吼道:“这把椅子真糟糕!”还用了一个恶心的词
That luckily you've never heard. (I dare not write it, even hint it. Nobody would ever print it.) You'd think by now this little skunk Would have the sense to do a bunk. But no. I very much regret She hasn't nearly finished yet. Deciding she would like a rest, She says, 'Let's see which bed is best.' Upstairs she goes and tries all three. (Here comes the next catastrophe.) Most educated people choose To rid themselves of socks and shoes Before they clamber into bed. But Goldie didn't give a shred. Her filthy shoes were thick with grime, And mud and mush and slush and slime. Worse still, upon the heel of one Was something that a dog had done. I say once more, what would you think If all this horrid dirt and stink Was smeared upon your eiderdown By this revolting little clown? (The famous story has no clues To show the girl removed her shoes.)
幸运的是你从来没听说过。 我不敢写,甚至不敢暗示。 没人会把它印出来。)你会以为这只小臭鼬现在会有逃跑的感觉。 但是没有。我很遗憾,她还没有完成。 她决定要休息一下,于是说:“让我们看看哪张床最好。”她上楼试了三遍。 (下一个灾难来了。)大多数受过教育的人在上床睡觉前都会脱下袜子和鞋子。 但是戈尔迪一点也不关心。 她那肮脏的鞋子上满是污垢,还有泥巴、浆糊、泥浆和黏液。 更糟糕的是,一只狗的脚后跟上还踩着什么东西。 我再说一遍,你会怎么想如果所有这些可怕的肮脏和恶臭都是这个令人作呕的小小丑涂在你的羽绒上的? (这个著名的故事没有线索表明女孩脱鞋了。)
Oh, what a tale of crime on crime! Let's check it for a second time. Crime One, the prosecution's case: She breaks and enters someone's place. Crime Two, the prosecutor notes: She steals a bowl of porridge oats. Crime Three: She breaks a precious chair Belonging to the Baby Bear. Crime Four: She smears each spotless sheet With filthy messes from her feet. A judge would say without a blink, 'Ten years' hard labour in the clink!' But in the book, as you will see, The little beast gets off scot-free, While tiny children near and far Shout, 'Goody-good! Hooray! Hurrah!'
啊,这是一个关于犯罪的故事!我们再检查一遍。 罪名一,控方的案子,她闯进别人家。 罪行二,检察官指出:她偷了一碗燕麦粥。 罪行三:她打碎了熊宝宝珍贵的椅子。 罪行四:她用脚上的脏东西弄脏了每一张一尘不染的床单。 法官会毫不犹豫地说:“在监狱里做十年苦役!”但在书中,正如你将看到的,小野兽逃脱了惩罚,而附近和远处的小孩子喊着:“再见!再见!”万岁!好哇!”
