LESSON 5 Early rising
第五课 早起
Get up, little sister; the morning is bright,
快起床，小妹妹，看早晨多么明亮，
And the birds are all singing to welcome(1) the light:
所有的小鸟都唱着歌来欢迎这些光芒；
The buds are all opening; the dew's on the flower;
所有的花蕾都绽放着；露珠儿挂在花朵上；
If you shake but a branch, see, there falls quite a shower.
轻轻地摇一摇枝叶，看，就会掉落阵阵甘雨。
By the side of their mothers, look, under the trees,
看，在那树下，羊妈妈的身边，
How the young lambs are skipping about as they please;
小羊们尽情跳跃；
And by all those rings on the water, I know,
我想，水边传来的清脆的声音，
The fishes are merrily swimming below.
是那鱼儿在欢乐地畅游。
The bee, I dare say, has been long on the wing,
我敢说，那小蜜蜂一定仍在勤劳地飞行，
To get honey from every flower of spring;
来每一朵春天的花儿上采蜜。
For the bee never idles, but labours all day,
蜜蜂从不偷懒，天天忙碌，
Thinking (wise little insect) work better than play.
它们是智慧的小虫子，想着工作胜于嬉戏。
The lark's singing gaily; it loves the bright sun,
百灵鸟欢乐地唱着歌儿；它喜欢明亮的太阳，
And rejoices(2) that now the gay spring has begun:
庆祝着令人开心的春天来临了；
For the spring is so cheerful, I think 'twould be wrong
春天是那么的欢乐，所以我想，
If we did not feel happy to hear the lark's song.
没有人不为百灵鸟的歌声而欢呼雀跃。
Get up; for when all things are merry and glad,
起来吧，当一切都那么欢喜快乐，
Good children should never be lazy or sad:
好孩子不应该慵懒或悲伤；
For God gives us daylight, dear sister, that we
小妹妹，帝赐予了我们日光，
May rejoice like the lark, and may work like the bee.
让我们能像百灵鸟一样欢乐，像蜜蜂一样勤劳。
