(1)Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are.
一闪一闪小星星,我想知道你是什么?挂在天空那么高那么高,就像是一颗颗钻石挂在天上。一闪一闪小星星 ,我想知道你是什么?
作者Iza Trapani的《twinkle,twinkle,little star》(大家耳熟能详的《一闪一闪亮晶晶》),由于国内没有引进,我买的是英文原版童书,作者的画风甜美极富想象力,语言更是优美动人.我非常喜欢这本书。
大致内容是:一位不想睡觉的小姑娘跟着小星星去太空遨游,飞向月亮,飞向太阳,拉着行星的轨道荡秋千;画风也是极为优美,小姑娘跟着小星星看到了城市里忙碌的行人,年轻父母抱着刚出生的婴儿脸上洋溢着幸福的笑容,夜幕下原野里沉睡的动物,大海里靠着星光指引航向的帆船。。。
这样的书,如果不能配以优美的语言,真是太太太可惜了。俺英文水平有限,不能翻译成中文故事讲给宝宝听,如果哪位能翻译成中文请帮忙一下,谢谢!
这本书中的译文俺一个个的打印下来了,懂英文的朋友请帮忙翻译一下,最好是直接写成朗朗上口的故事,英文不好的妈妈们可以直接看图将给宝宝听。
●绘本中英译文
(1)Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are.
(2) Twinkle, twinkle, star so bright, Winking at me in the night. How I wish that I could fly, And visit you up in the sky. I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight.
(3) Little child, your wish came true,Here I am right next to you. I' ll take you on a magic ride, So come with me—I' ll be your guide. There' s so much that you' ll see and do, On this adventure made for you.
(4) Out your window, through the sky, Up above the world we' ll fly. Higher than a bird would go, To places only rockets know. Beyond the planes that soar up high, Is where we' ll travel, you and I.
(5)Look around you, little one, There' s the moon and there' s the sun. See the planets—count them all, Some are big and some are small. Can you name them one by one, As they orbit ' round the sun?
(6) Your planet Earth is such a sight, I look at her with great delight. When half the earth is in the sun,The other half I glow upon,For it`s my job to twinkle bright,On everyone who needs my light.
(7) I shine on ships lost out at sea, They know they can depend on me. For even on the darkest nights, I guide them to their harbor lights. I guide them to their harbor lights. And lonely travelers wandering free, Will find their way back home with me.
(8) Everywhere I look below, I shed my light and cast a glow. Over cities, over farms, On babies held in loving arms. How I love to watch them grow. As I shine on Earth below.
(9)Little child, look down with me, And tell me, tell me, what you see. I see puppies in their bed, A pony resting in his shed. Little birds high in a tree,And sleepy children just like me.
(10)Yes, it' s late—we can' t pretend, Our magic j ourney has to end. I' ll take you home, back to your bed, You' ll see me twinkling overhead. But don' t be sad—I do intend, To shine on you each night, my friend.
(11) Twinkle bright, my little star, Watch me safely from afar. Thank you for this magic night. Twinkle,twinkle,little star,What a special star you are!
我自己按照文本直译了一下,有许多语句不通顺,希望大家帮我纠正核对。
(1)一闪一闪小星星 ,我想知道你是什么?挂在天空那么高那么高,就像是一颗颗钻石挂在天上。一闪一闪小星星 ,我想知道你是什么?
(2)闪闪的星星是多么的明亮,夜晚在向我眨眼。我多么希望我能飞,多么希望在天空中拜访你。我想我可以,我想我可以,,我想今晚有希望。
(3)忽然一颗小星星来到了小姑娘的窗前,小星星对小女孩说:“小孩子,你的愿望实现了!我就在你的旁边。我将要带你(take you on)一次奇幻之旅,跟我来吧,我将成为你的向导。在这次为你量身定做的奇幻之旅中,你将看到和做这么多的东西。
(4)(小姑娘抓着一闪一闪的星星)穿过窗户,通过天空,我们将在宇宙中飞行。比鸟儿飞得还要高,到一个火箭才知道的地方。超越飞机的高度,我们将在这里冒险旅行,你和我 。
(5)看看你的周围,小家伙,有月亮,有太阳。看到这些行星——全数出来,行星有些大,有些小。当它们的轨道绕太阳运行时,你能逐个说出它们的名字吗?
(6)我非常高兴看到地球的这种景象。当一半的地球是在太阳普照下,另一半在昏暗的光芒,因为它是我的工作给闪烁明亮,在谁需要我光芒的每个人身上。
(7)我照亮了在海上迷路的船只。他们知道他们可以依靠我。因为即使在最黑暗的夜晚,我引导他们到达海港的灯。孤独的旅行者和流浪自由,跟着我将会找到它们回家的路。
(8)小星星说:“我看到的任何地方,我散发我的光,投出一片光芒。在城市上空,在农场上,在有爱的臂膀上抱着的婴儿里。我多么喜欢看着他们成长,正如我在地球上照亮一切。”
(9)小星星问:“小女孩,像我一样低头往下看,告诉我,告诉我,你看了什么?”
小女孩说:“我看到了小狗在床上,一只休息的小马在他的棚里,小鸟在一颗高树上,和我一样睡意朦朦的孩子们。”
(10)小星星说:“是的,太晚了——我们不能言不由衷,我们的魔法旅行已经结束。我将带你回家,回到你的床上,你会看到我眨着眼。但是,别难过,每个晚上,我都会照耀着你,我的朋友。”
(11)小姑娘说:“闪耀的小星星,你从远方安全地看着我。谢谢你,这个神奇的夜晚。一闪一闪小星星,你是一颗多么特别的星星啊!”
