LESSON 11

WHAT A BIRD TAUGHT

小鸟说什么

1. Why do you come to my apple tree,

　　Little bird so gray?

　Twit-twit, twit-twit, twit-twit-twee!

　　That was all he would say.

1. Why do you lock your rosy feet

　　So closely round the spray?

　Twit-twit, twit-twit, twit-tweet!

　　That was all he would say.

1. Why on the topmost bough do you get,

　　Little bird so gray?

　Twit-twit-twee! twit-twit-twit!

　　That was all he would say.

1. Where is your mate? come, answer me,

　　Little bird so gray.

　Twit-twit-twit! twit-twit-twee!

　　That was all he would say.

(Alice Cary)

你为何停下脚步，

紧密绕着树枝飞？

喳喳喳，喳喳喳，

那就是它想说的话。

小灰鸟，

你为何飞到枝顶上？

喳喳喳，喳喳喳，

那就是它想说的话。

小灰鸟，

告诉我同伴在哪里？

喳喳喳，喳喳喳，

那就是它想说的话。
