名人诗歌|I Hear America Singing

I Hear America singing, the varied^{1 carols I hear;}

Those of mechanicseach one singing his, as it should be, blithe^{2 and strong;}

The carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank^{3 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 boatthe deckhand singing on the steamboat deck;

The shoemaker singing as he sits on his benchthe hatter singing as he stands;

The wood-cutter's songthe ploughboy's, on his way in the morning, or at the noon intermission, or at sundown;

The delicious singing of the motheror of the young wife at workor of the girl sewing or washingEach singing what belongs to her, and to none else;

The day what belongs to the dayAt night, the party of young fellows, robust^{4, friendly,}

Singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious^{5 songs.}

我听见美国在歌唱

瓦尔特惠特曼

我听见美国在歌唱，我听见各种各样的歌，

那些机械工人的歌，每一个人都唱着他那理所当然地快乐而又雄伟的歌，

木匠一面衡量着他的木板或房梁，一面唱着他的歌，

泥水匠在筹备开始工作或离开工作的时候唱着他的歌，

船夫在他的船上唱着是他的歌，舱面水手在汽船甲板上唱歌，

鞋匠坐在他的凳子上唱歌，做帽子的人站着唱歌，

伐木者的砍，牵引耕畜的孩子在早晨、午休或日落时走在路上唱的歌，

妈妈或年轻的老婆在工作时，或者女孩在缝纫或洗衣裳时甜美地唱着的歌，

每一个人都唱着是他或她而不是任何别的人的歌，

白天唱着是白天的歌晚上这一群体格健壮、友好相处的年轻小伙子，

就放开嗓子唱起他们那雄伟而又悦耳的歌。

瓦尔特惠特曼 美国民主诗人。一生的诗作都收在《草叶集》里。在这部不断扩充再版的诗集里，诗人以主人翁的姿态，以高亢的声调，歌颂了他一流的国家、普通的人民群众、富于民主和自由传统的民族精神。可以说，草叶是象征人民的，惠特曼以此取得了美国人民和世界人民的爱戴。
