"The Chipmunk" DD x Henry

The Chipmunk 

by Ogden Nash | 译 Abby老师

My friends all know that I am shy,
But the chipmunk is twice and shy and I.
He moves with flickering indecision
Like stripes across the television.
He's like the shadow of a cloud,
Or Emily Dickinson read aloud.

花栗鼠

大家都知道我很害羞，

但是花栗鼠比我还要糗。

我恍惚看到他闪过，

好像电视信号忽强忽弱。

他喜欢云朵走过的阴凉处，

或是诗人静静为他朗读。
