I Hear America singing
I Hear America singing
by Walt Whitman
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 the 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 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.
我听见美洲在歌唱
李野光 译
我听见美洲在歌唱，我听见各种不同的颂歌，
机器匠在歌唱着，他们每人歌唱着他的愉快而强健的歌，
木匠在歌唱着，一边比量着他的木板或梁木，
泥瓦匠在歌唱着，当他准备工作或停止工作的时候，
船家歌唱着他船里所有的一切，水手在汽艇的甲板上歌唱着，
鞋匠坐在他的工作凳上歌唱，帽匠歌唱着，站在那里工作，
伐木者、犁田青年们歌唱着，当他们每天早晨走在路上，或者午问歇息，
或到了日落的时候，
我更听到母亲的美妙的歌，正在操作的年轻的妻子们的或缝衣或洗衣的
女孩子们的歌，
每人歌唱属于他或她而不是属于任何别人的一切，
白昼歌唱白昼所有的，晚间，强壮而友爱的青年们的集会，
张嘴唱着他们的强健而和谐的歌。
