美国语文第四册 第34期：珍妮特和乔
Two girls I know—Jeannette and Jo, And one is always moping; The other lassie, come what may, Is ever bravely hoping.
我认识的两个女孩——珍妮特和乔，其中一个总是愁眉苦脸；另一个小姑娘，无论发生没什么，永远是坚强地忙碌着。
Beauty of face and girlish graceAre theirs, for joy or sorrow; Jeannette takes brightly every day, And Jo dreads each tomorrow.
无论快乐或悲伤,她们都拥有美丽的面庞和纯真的姿态；珍妮特每天都过得神采奕奕，而乔对明天总是唉声叹气。
One early morn they watched the dawn I saw them stand together;
一天清晨，她们看着黎明的到来，我看见她们站在一起；
Their whole day's sport, It was very plain,Depended on the weather.
她们整天的活动，完完全全，要视天气而定。
"T will storm!" CRIed Jo. Jeannette spoke low: "Yes, but It will soon be over."
“暴风雨要来了！”乔大声喊道。珍妮特低声说：“是啊，但是一会儿就停了。”
And, as she spoke, the sudden shower Came, beating down the clover.
她正说着，突然间暴雨袭来，压弯了三叶草。
"I told you so!" CRIed angry Jo: "It always is a-raining!"
“我告诉过你吧！”愤怒的乔大声叫道。“肯定会下雨的！”
Then hid her face in dire despair,Lamenting and complaining.
然后掩藏起脸上极度绝望的神情，不住地痛惜和抱怨着。
But sweet Jeannette, quite hopeful yet, I tell it to her honor, Looked up and waited till the sun Came streaming in upon her.
但是可爱的珍妮特，仍然充满希望,我能看得出来她仰起头等待着，直到太阳出来照耀在她身上。
The broken clouds sailed off in crowds, Across a sea of glory.
阴晴不定的云彩成堆地漂移开去，越过了壮丽的大海。
Jeannette and Jo ran, laughing, in Which ends my simple story.
珍妮特和乔欢笑着奔跑起来，我叙述的简单故事也到此结束了。
Joy is divine. Come storm, come shine, The hopeful are the gladdest;
快乐是上天的恩赐。来吧，暴风雨，来吧，太阳光，永怀希望之心将是最快乐的；
And doubt and dread, children, believe Of all things are the saddest.
孩子们，怀疑和忧虑的思想认为一切都是最糟糕的。
In morning's light, let youth be bright; Take in the sunshine tender;
在清晨的时光中，让青春明亮耀眼；吸纳温和的阳光；
Then, at the close, shall life's decline Be full of sunset splendor.
在行将告别之际，生命的谢幕将充满落日的光辉。
And ye who fret, try, like Jeannette,To shun all weak complaining;
烦恼的人们，试着像珍妮特一样吧，规避所有无力的抱怨；
And not, like Jo, cry out too soon "It always is a-raining!"
并且不要像乔那样，太急于大声叫喊“肯定会下雨的！”
