Foreign Lands
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–94)
UP into the cherry tree
Who should climb but little me?
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad on foreign lands.
I saw the next-door garden lie, 5
Adorned with flowers, before my eye,
And many pleasant faces more
That I had never seen before.
I saw the dimpling river pass
And be the sky’s blue looking-glass; 10
The dusty roads go up and down
With people tramping in to
If I could find a higher tree
Farther and farther I should see,
To where the grown-up river slips 15
Into the sea among the ships,
To where the roads on either hand
Lead onward into fairy land,
Where all the children dine at five,
And all the playthings come alive. 20
外面的大陆文/史蒂文森（英国） 译者/海梦
除了小小的我谁会爬上那棵樱桃树两手抱着树干俯瞰外面的大陆
我看到邻家的花园躺在地面缀满花儿出现在我眼前还有许多未曾见过的愉快的笑脸我看见静静的小河映着蓝蓝的天空尘土飞扬的道路起起伏伏带着人们流进小城
如果能找到更高的树我一定可以看得更远看着长大的小河带着船儿一起奔向大海
两旁的道路钻进了仙境国度那里所有的小孩五点吃饭所有的玩具活灵活现
