Bed In Summer 夏日之床 (来源：专业英语学习网站 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

1

In winter I get up at night             冬日我大清早起床
And dress by yellow candle-light 借着黄色的蠋光穿裳。
In summer quite the other way,    夏日完全相反，
I have to go to bed by day          我必须在日间上床。

2 
I have to go to bed and see             我必上床且看
The birds still hopping on the tree,   鸟儿还在树梢跃荡，
Or hear the grown-up people's feet   抑或聆听成年人的脚声
Still going past me in the street      仍旧在街道走过我的身旁。

3
And does it not seem hard to you,    它对你来说难道不为难吗？
When all the sky is clear and blue,    在明亮而蔚蓝的天空当前，
And I should like so much to play,     而我如此喜欢玩耍，
To have to go to bed by day?            却必须在白天就上床？

by R L Stevenson
