HIAWATHA’S CHILDHOOD
海華沙的童年
Henry W. Longfellow
亨利·W.朗費羅
Henry W. Longfellow was great American storyteller, but he told his stories in poetry. You are now going to read part of a long poem about Indian life. In this poem Longfellow tells for us many of the old stories or legends that the story-tellers of the tribes passed on from one to another down through the years.
亨利·W.朗費羅是另一位偉大的美國講故事的人，但他用詩歌講故事。你現(xiàn)在要讀一首關(guān)于印第安人生活的長詩的一部分。在這首詩中，朗費羅為我們講述了許多古老的故事或傳說，講述部落故事的人代代相傳。
By the shores of Gitche Gurnee,
在迦基古尼的海邊，
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
在波光粼粼的大海邊，
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
矗立著諾科米斯的棚屋，
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
月亮的女兒，諾科米斯。
Dark behind it rose the forest,
黑暗的背后是森林，
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees.
黑壓壓的松樹拔地而起。
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
冷杉上長出了圓錐體;
Bright before it beat the water,
在它拍打水面之前，
Beat the clear and sunny water.
打在清澈的陽光下。
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.
拍打著波光粼粼的大海。
