I hear America singing，the varied carols I hear，
Those of mechanics，each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong，
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam，
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work，or leaves off work，
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat，the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck，
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench，the hatter singing as he stands，
The wood-cutter’s song，the ploughboy’s on his way in the morning，
or at noon intermission or at sundown，
The delicious singing of the mother，or of the young wife at work，
or of the girl sewing or washing，
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else，
The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows，robust，friendly，
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

译的很好。him or her ，这是在翻译中要注意的一个问题，因英文音不同，而中文则是同音。诗歌不仅是阅读，还常为朗诵，朗诵诗是要避免这个问题的。作者: 叶如钢 时间: 2015-12-24 13:19 本帖最后由 叶如钢 于 2015-12-24 13:28 编辑
