第4章 The Little Star 小星星

Twinkle, twinkle, little star;

How I wonder what you are,

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky!

When the blazing sun is set,

And the grass with dew is wet,

Then you show your little light;

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then, if I wore in the dark,

I would thank you for your spark.

I could not see which way to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

And when I am sound asleep,

Oft you through my window peep;

For you never shut your eye,

Till the sun is in the sky.

一闪一闪小星星；

我多想知道你是什么？

挂在天空那么高，

就像是一颗颗钻石挂在天上！

当炽热的太阳已经西沉，

当小草被露水沾湿，

你就展现出你微弱的亮光；

整个晚上一闪一闪眨着眼睛。

当我在黑暗中疲惫不堪时，

感谢你的光芒。

我看不见走向何方，

假若你不这样发光。

当我熟睡时，

你时常透过我的窗口窥看；

永不闭上你的眼睛，

直到太阳又在天空出现。
