LESSON 7 The bee
第七課 蜜蜂
I love to see the busy bee,
我喜歡看著忙碌的蜜蜂
I love to watch the hive:
我喜歡觀察蜂房
When the sun is hot they linger not—
即使艷陽高照，他們也不偷懶
It makes them all alive.
工作讓他們充滿活力
God gave them skill, and with good will
上帝給了他們本領，并且是善意的
They to their work attend:
他們致力于他們的工作
Each little cell is shaped so well,
每一個小蜂室形狀都很好
That none their work can mend.
他們的工作完美無缺
Now in, now out, they move about,
他們忙里忙外，來來去去
Yet all in order true;
且有條不紊
Each seems to know both where to go,
好像每一個人都知道對方要去哪兒
And what it has to do.
和要做什么
'Mid summer heat, the honey sweet
炎熱的仲夏，蜂蜜是香甜的
It gathers while it may,
他們盡可能的收集
In tiny drops, and never stops
即使只有少少幾滴，他們也從不停止
To waste its time in play.
也不浪費時間游玩
I hear it come, I know its hum;
我知道他來了，我聽見了他的嗡嗡聲
It flies from flower to flower;
他從這朵花飛到了那朵花
And to its store a little more
并且一點兒點兒的收集
It adds, each day and hour.
每分每秒
Just so should I my heart apply,
這樣我應該用心
My proper work to mind:
專心的工作
Look for some sweet in all I meet,
我滿足于尋找一些甜蜜
And store up all I find.
然后將我尋找到的都存儲起來
PROVERBS
箴言
Waste not, want not.
儉以防匱/勤儉節約，吃穿不愁
A stitch in time saves nine.
一針及時省九針
