19 Paper Boats纸船-双语名著无障碍阅读丛书——《新月集The Crescent Moon》

The Crescent Moon Paper Boats Day by day I float my paper boats one by one down the running stream. In big black letters I write my name on them and the name of the village where I live. I hope that someone in some strange land will find them and know who I am. I load my little boats with shiuli flowers from our garden,and hope that these blooms of the dawn will be carried safely to land in the night. I launch my paper boats and look up into the sky and see the little clouds setting their white bulging sails. I know not what playmate of mine in the sky sends them down the air to race with my boats! When night comes I bury my face in my arms and dream that my paper boats float on and on under the midnight stars. The fairies of sleep are sailing in them,and the lading is their baskets full of dreams. ·056· 新月集「 纸船 我每天把纸船一个个放在急流的溪中。 我用大黑字写我的名字和我住的地名在纸船上。 我希望住在异地的人得到了这纸船，就知道我是 谁。 我把园中长的希利花载在这些小船上，希望这些黎 ①shiuli(印〉希利花 明开的花能在夜里平平安安地带到岸上。 我投我的纸船到水里，仰看天空，看见小朵的云正 张着满鼓着风的白帆。 我不知道是不是天上的游伴把这些船放下来同我的 ②bulge[bAld]g鼓起来 船比赛！ 夜来了，我的脸埋在手臂里，梦见我的纸船在中夜 的星辰下面渐渐地浮泛上去。 “睡之仙人”坐在船里，带着他们满载着梦的篮子。 ③lading['leidin]n(装载 的)货物 ·057·
