鹅妈妈童谣集+中英对照(3)

Simple Simon went a-hunting, For to catch a hare;

He rode an ass about the streets, But couldn't find one there.

He went for to eat honey, Out of the mustard pot;

He bit his tongue until he cried, That was all the good he got.

他去吃蜂蜜，

从一只餐桌上的芥末罐子； 他咬着自己的舌头直到哭出来， 这就是他吃到的全部。

He went to ride a spotted cow That had a little calf;

She threw him down upon the ground, Which made the people laugh.

Then he plunged in above his knees, Which made poor Simon stare.

Simple Simon went to look If plum grew on a thistle;

He pricked his fingers very much, Which made poor Simon whistle.

他用筛网取水，

但是水很快就漏光了。 可怜而又无知的西蒙啊 永远地再见了

备注： 出自《God Child vol.8》-《Godless》

一个睡过头还剩八个。 最后一章的最后一句"Bids you all adieu"因该就是出自这首童谣吧。"Bids you all adieu"可以理解为“永别”的意思。“bid"是在这里是“吩咐，告诉”的意思。"adieu"是从法语衍生而来的。"adieu"是“再见，辞别”的意思。从中古英语"adew"变化而来，这个词又是从古代法语"adieu"(à + dieu)来的，意义为“献身于神”，"dieu"是“神”的意思。综合起来看，就可以理解为“永别”的意思了。哎 也就是说该隐的故事再也不会有了，那是最终的了。他带着优雅的微笑，Bids you all adieu.
