Two girls I know—Jeannette and Jo, And one is always moping; The other lassie, come what may, Is ever bravely hoping.
我認識的兩個女孩——珍妮特和喬，其中一個總是愁眉苦臉；另一個小姑娘，無論發生沒什么，永遠是堅強地忙碌著。
Beauty of face and girlish graceAre theirs, for joy or sorrow; Jeannette takes brightly every day, And Jo dreads each tomorrow.
無論快樂或悲傷,她們都擁有美麗的面龐和純真的姿態；珍妮特每天都過得神采奕奕，而喬對明天總是唉聲嘆氣。
One early morn they watched the dawn I saw them stand together;
一天清晨，她們看著黎明的到來，我看見她們站在一起；
Their whole day's sport, It was very plain,Depended on the weather.
她們整天的活動，完完全全，要視天氣而定。
"T will storm!" cried Jo. Jeannette spoke low: "Yes, but It will soon be over."
“暴風雨要來了！”喬大聲喊道。珍妮特低聲說：“是啊，但是一會兒就停了。”
And, as she spoke, the sudden shower Came, beating down the clover.
她正說著，突然間暴雨襲來，壓彎了三葉草。
"I told you so!" cried angry Jo: "It always is a-raining!"
“我告訴過你吧！”憤怒的喬大聲叫道。“肯定會下雨的！”
Then hid her face in dire despair,Lamenting and complaining.
然后掩藏起臉上極度絕望的神情，不住地痛惜和抱怨著。
But sweet Jeannette, quite hopeful yet, I tell it to her honor, Looked up and waited till the sun Came streaming in upon her.
但是可愛的珍妮特，仍然充滿希望,我能看得出來她仰起頭等待著，直到太陽出來照耀在她身上。
The broken clouds sailed off in crowds, Across a sea of glory.
陰晴不定的云彩成堆地漂移開去，越過了壯麗的大海。
Jeannette and Jo ran, laughing, in Which ends my simple story.
珍妮特和喬歡笑著奔跑起來，我敘述的簡單故事也到此結束了。
Joy is divine. Come storm, come shine, The hopeful are the gladdest;
快樂是上天的恩賜。來吧，暴風雨，來吧，太陽光，永懷希望之心將是最快樂的；
And doubt and dread, children, believe Of all things are the saddest.
孩子們，懷疑和憂慮的思想認為一切都是最糟糕的。
In morning's light, let youth be bright; Take in the sunshine tender;
在清晨的時光中，讓青春明亮耀眼；吸納溫和的陽光；
Then, at the close, shall life's decline Be full of sunset splendor.
在行將告別之際，生命的謝幕將充滿落日的光輝。
And ye who fret, try, like Jeannette,To shun all weak complaining;
煩惱的人們，試著像珍妮特一樣吧，規避所有無力的抱怨；
And not, like Jo, cry out too soon "It always is a-raining!"
并且不要像喬那樣，太急于大聲叫喊“肯定會下雨的！”
