  When I taught you

  at eight to ride

  a bicycle, loping along

  beside you

  as you wobbled away

  on two round wheels,

  my own mouth rounding

  in surprise when you pulled

  ahead down the curved

  path of the park,

  I kept waiting

  for the thud

  of your crash as I

  sprinted to catch up,

  while you grew

  smaller, more breakable

  with distance,

  pumping, pumping

  for your life, screaming

  with laughter,

  the hair flapping

  behind you like a

  handkerchief waving

  goodbye.

英文诗歌赏析--给要离家的女儿

  翻译:

  我在你八岁

  教你骑

  自行车,迈着大步

  在你身旁,

  你摇摇摆摆

  坐着两个圆轮而去,

  我自己张大嘴

  惊讶地看见你使劲

  往前行,沿着弯曲的

  公园小径。

  我一直在等待

  你砰一声

  摔下来,便

  冲着追上去,

  而你越走

  越远,

  越小,越容易摔倒,

  拼了命

  踩上,踩下,尖叫

  大笑,

  头发飘动

  在背后,像一张

  手绢挥舞着

  再见。

  活用词汇

  1. lope v.大步跑;轻快地跳跃

  2. wobble v.摇晃

  3. thud n.砰击声

  4. sprint v.疾跑
