Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are

Did I ever tell you how lucky you are?

我有没有告诉过你,你到底有多幸运呀?

When I was quite young and quite small for my size, I met an old man in the desert of Drys, and he sang me a song I will never forget. At least, well, I haven't forgotten it yet.

在我还很小只、个子比同龄人都矮的时候,我在德莱兹沙漠遇见了一位老爷爷, 他给我唱了一首歌,我一辈子都不会忘。至少嘛,唔,我到现在还没忘呢。

He sat in a terribly prickly place, but he sang with a sunny sweet smile on his face. When you think things are bad, when you feel sour and blue, when you start to get mad, you should do what I do. Just tell yourself, Ducky, you're really quite lucky. Some people are much more, oh ever so much more, oh muchly much, much more unlucky than you.

他坐在一个扎得要命的地方,可脸上却挂着阳光般甜甜的笑容在唱歌。 当你觉得事情糟透了,当你又郁闷又难过,当你快要气炸了,你就照我的方法做。 你就告诉自己呀,小宝贝,你其实真的超幸运的。 有些人可比你倒霉多啦,哦,可比你倒霉太多太多啦,哦,真的超级超级、超级比你倒霉多啦。

Be glad you don't work on the bungle -bung bridge that they're building across Booba Bay at Bum Ridge. It's a troublesome world. All the people are in it are troubled with troubles almost every minute. You ought to be thankful a whole heaping lot for the places and people you're lucky you're not.

你该偷笑啦,你不用去布姆山脊的布巴湾修那座笨笨桥呀。 这世界可麻烦啦,住在这里的所有人几乎每分每秒都被各种烦心事缠着。 你真该好好谢天谢地,幸好你不是那些倒霉的人,也没住在那些倒霉的地方呀。

Just suppose, for example, you lived in Gazette and got caught in that traffic on Zate Highway 8.

打个比方呀,要是你住在加泽特,还被困在扎特8号高速的堵车大军里呢?

Or suppose just for instance you lived in Gazelle with your bedroom up here and your bathroom up there.

再举个例子哦,要是你住在加泽尔,你的卧室在这边,浴室却在老远的另一边呢?
