趣味英文诗歌：One Inch Tall

One Inch Tall

If you were only one inch tall , you\'d ride a worm to school.
The teardrop of a crying and would be your swimming pool.
A crumb of cake would be a feast 
And last you seven days at least ,
A flea would be a frightening beast
If you were one inch tall . 
If you were only one inch tall , you\'d walk beneath the door , 
And it would take about a month to get down to the store .
A bit of fluff would be your bed,
You\'d swing upon a spider\'s thread , 
And wear a thimble on your head 
If youwere one inch tall . 
you\'d surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum
you could\'t hug your mama , you\'d just have to hug her thumb .
you\'d run from people\'s feet in fright , 
To move a pen would take all night , 
( This poem took fourteen years to write ---
Cause  I\'m just one inch tall )

蚂蚁哭泣时的一滴泪将成为你的游泳池。
一点蛋糕屑能变成一场盛宴，
足够你至少吃上七天，
一只跳蚤就会是一头可怕的猛兽，
倘若你只有一寸高。
倘若你只有一寸高，便能穿越门下的缝隙，
而要行至商店则需要花上一个月的时间，
一小撮绒毛能变成你的温床，
你能在一根蜘蛛丝上玩秋千，
头上戴着顶针作为头盔，
倘若你只有一寸高。
你能乘着一块口香糖在厨房的水池里冲浪。
但你无法拥抱妈妈，你只能拥抱她的拇指。
你会惊恐地逃离人们的脚丫，
你需要花上一整夜的时间来搬动一支钢笔，
（而写下这首诗则须花上十四年-----
因为我只有一寸高）
