Skating
滑冰
Over the ice so smooth and bright,
越過亮閃閃的冰面，
How fast we skim along!
我們滑得飛快；
This is one of the merriest sports
這世界上最開心的運動
That to hardy boys belong.
是小小男子漢的最愛,
Hurrah! hurrah! for the ice and snow;
好啊，來吧！擁抱燦爛的冰雪！
We buckle our skates, and away we go!
冰刀扣好，享受前進的喜悅！
The ice is strong as strong can be,
冰層是要多硬有多硬，
And what have we to fear?
我們有什么好怕？
It looks like a solid crystal lake,
湖水像凝成了一大塊水晶，
So beautifully clear.
透明得那么無瑕
Hurrah! hurrah! though winter it is,
好啊，來吧！就算這是嚴冬，
There’s nothing in summer so fine as this.
可夏天的樂趣，哪里有這般生動！
Up again quickly, my gallant friend,
快爬起來，我勇敢的朋友，
And don’t lie groaning there;
別躺在地下叫喚！
You had better be moving as fast as you can,
你要是不拿出頂尖的速度，
Or you’ll feel the biting air.
刺骨的寒冷就來陪伴。
Hurrah! hurrah! let it blow—let it blow!
好啊，來吧！同朔風比上一比，
Our limbs are active and strong, you know.
那時候你才清楚，我們腿腳的活力
Come hither, come hither, both young and old,
快到這里來吧，不論年輕年老，
Nor sit all day by the fire!
別整天坐在火爐旁！
Come, stir about! you will soon feel warm,
快，動起來，很快就會暖和，
If that is your heart’s desire.
這是你心底的期望！
Hurrah! hurrah! who would not be here
好啊，來吧！誰會冷漠無情，
On the lake of ice so strong and clear ?
辜負這堅實又透明的湖冰？
This is the sport for men and boys;
這是一場男子漢的比賽，
The girls in the house may stay:
姑娘們可以待在屋里；
But better for them it would be, I’m sure,
但我相信，她們還不如
In the clear, cold air to play.
也到清冷的空氣中嬉戲
Hurrah! hurrah! there is nothing we know
好啊，來吧！想讓美麗披上光彩，
Which can give to beauty a lovelier glow.
我們知道，什么也沒它厲害！
Come all, come all! come great and small!
大家都來吧，不論大人小孩！
This pleasure can never grow tame;
這樣的歡愉，永遠別想生厭；
At morning and evening, and every hour,
白天與夜晚，時時與刻刻，
Year after year, ’tis the same.
年復一年，熱情沒有改變。
Hurrah! hurrah! may it ever be so!
好啊，來吧！未來也這樣多好！
Then we shall never grow old, you know.
那時候你就清楚，我們將永不會變老。
