The Pride of Youth
青春的骄傲
华尔德·司各特
Proud Maisie is in the wood,
Walking so early;
Sweet Robin sits on the bush,
Singing so rarely.
“tell me ,thou bonny bird,
when shall I marry me?”
-“when six braw gentlemen
kirkward shall carry ye.”
“who makes the bridal bed,
birdie, say truly?”
-“The gray-headed sexton
That delves the grave duly.
“The glowworm o’er grave and stone
Shall light thee steady;
The owl from the steeple sing,
Welcome, proud lady.”
骄傲的梅西漫步林间，
踩着晨曦；
伶俐的知更鸟栖息树丛，
唱得甜蜜。
“告诉我，美丽的鸟儿，
我哪年哪月穿嫁装？”－－
“等到六个殡葬人
抬你上教堂。”
“谁为我铺新床？
好鸟儿，莫撒谎。”－－
“白发司事，兼挖墓穴，
误不了你的洞房。”
“萤火虫幽幽闪闪，
把你的坟墓照亮，送葬，
猫头鹰将在塔尖高唱：
欢迎你，骄傲的姑娘。”
What makes a man？
What makes a man?
---Hamlin Garland
Do you fear the force of the wind 你可害怕寒风凛冽,
The slash of the rain? 你可畏惧大雨滂沱
Go face them and fight them, 去迎着风雨努力拼搏
Be savage again .还你原始本色
Go hungry and cold like the wolf 象狼一样去经受饥寒
Go wade like the crane. 象鹤一般去跋涉河川
The palms of your hands will thicken, 你的手掌变得厚实粗壮
The skin of your cheeks will tan 你的脸庞晒得古铜发亮
You’ll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,你会变得衣衫褴褛，皮肤黝黑，疲惫不堪，
But you will walk like a man! 但你步履沉稳，是个堂堂男子汉！
