McGuffey's Second Eclectic Reader — Page 8
I would like a gun that will shoot, and a rubber ball that I can throw hard, and that will not break Mamma's windows or the big glass in the parlor.
撃てる銃と、力いっぱい投げられて、ママの窓や居間の大きなガラスを割らないゴムボールが欲しいです。
Now, please don't forget to come.
どうか、来るのを忘れないでください。
I live on Fourth St., number ten.
私はフォース通り10番地に住んでいます。
I will go to bed at eight o'clock, and shut my eyes tight.
8時にベッドに入って、目をしっかり閉じます。
I will not look, indeed I won't.
絶対に見ません、本当に見ません。
Your little boy, Willie.
あなたの小さな男の子、ウィリーより。
Twinkle, twinkle, little star; How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky!
きらきら光る小さな星よ、あなたが何者なのか、とても不思議に思う。世界のずっと高い上に、空のダイヤモンドのように！
When the blazing sun is set, And the grass with dew is wet, Then you show your little light; Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
燃えるような太陽が沈み、草が露で濡れるとき、あなたは小さな光を見せる。一晩中きらきらと輝く。
Then, if I were in the dark, I would thank you for your spark. I could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so.
もし私が暗闇の中にいたなら、あなたのきらめきに感謝するだろう。あなたがそのように輝かなければ、どちらへ行けばいいか分からなかっただろう。
And when I am sound asleep, Oft you through my window peep; For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky.
そして私がぐっすり眠っているとき、あなたはよく窓から覗き込む。太陽が空に現れるまで、あなたは決して目を閉じないから。
