Bed in Summer

夏日就寝

by Robert Louis Stevenson

In winter I get up at night

冬日晨曦未露却须起床，

And dress by yellow candlelight.

借着黄色烛光穿起衣裳。

In summer, quit the other way,

夏日来到一切完全颠倒，

I have to go to bed by day.

天还大亮却非要我上床。

I have to go to bed and see

人卧床上却东张西望，

The birds still hopping on the tree,

鸟儿依然在树梢跃荡，

Or hear the grown-up people's feet

听闻大人们屋边碎步，

Still going past me in the street.

依然沿街来来又往往。

And does it seem hard to you,

若是你，难道不倍感哀伤？

When all the sky is clear and blue,

蔚蓝无云，晴天空旷，

And I should like so much to play,

都知道我如此喜欢玩耍，

To have to go to bed by day?

却必须大白天就得上床？
