MONI AND HIS GOATS
莫尼和他的山羊
JOHANNA SPYRI

Moni was a goat boy in Switzerland. In the villages of that country, each family generally keeps a few goats for their milk. Every morning Moni took these goats with his own, up into the mountains. All day he watched over them while they grazed on the little plots of grass among the rocks and cliffs. The villagers thought that all he had to do was to sing and enjoy himself, but this story shows that he had to be brave and faithful as well..
莫尼是瑞士的一個牧羊男孩。在那個國家的鄉村，通常家家戶戶都會養幾只山羊來獲取羊奶。每天早晨，莫尼都會獨自趕著這些山羊爬到山上。他每天照看著它們在巖石和峭壁間的多個小塊草地上吃草。村民們認為他要做的只是唱歌和自娛自樂，但這個故事表明他還需要勇敢和忠誠...
THE BOY AND HIS HERD
男孩和他的羊群
It was very early in the morning when Moni, the goat boy, came through the little Swiss village singing his song. The goats sprang from their sheds to meet him as he waved his switch and called to them.
一大清早，牧羊男孩莫尼唱著歌穿過瑞士的一個小村莊。當他揮著鞭子，沖著羊群呼喚時，山羊們從羊圈中跳出來迎接他。
In the sky the rosy clouds were piled high, and a fresh morning breeze whispered about the ears of Moni as he climbed up-ward. How pleasant it all was! Everything was the way he liked to have it. The boy sang out of pure happiness his voice rang far down into the valley, where many a sleeper opened his eyes in surprise, only to close them again as he heard the merry voice of the goat boy.
天空中玫瑰色的云朵堆得高高的，當莫尼往山上爬得時候，清新的晨風在他耳邊低語。這一切多么令人愉快啊！這里的一切都是他喜歡的樣子。男孩唱出了滿是愉悅的歌聲，歌聲飄向了遠方，在山谷里縈繞，山谷中那些睡夢中的人突然驚奇地睜開了眼睛，當他們聽到是牧羊男孩的歡樂歌聲時，卻禁不住又把眼睛合了起來。
Moni and the goats climbed upward for about two hours until they were high among the peaks of the mountains. The higher they climbed, the brighter everything seemed. Once more the goat boy began to sing from the bottom of his heart, louder and more joyously the farther up he went. And this is the song that rang out among the mountain peaks:
莫尼和山羊們往上爬了大約兩個小時，直到到達群峰間的高地上。爬得越高，所有的景物似乎就越清晰。莫尼又開始唱起來自心底的歌聲，他爬得越高，歌聲就越嘹亮歡快。下面就是那首響徹在山巔間的歌：
