匆匆太匆匆(9):巴士遊讚歌

(2014-06-28 22:39:47) 下一個

這是女兒寫的《巴士遊讚歌》,作為我們此次東部遊的完結篇。跟著旅行團出遊,不用事先做功課,大大小小去許多景點,有其獨特的優點。每天早出晚歸,到處趕著到此一遊,沒有足夠的時間盡心享受,也有其本身的局限。女兒說了,下一次不跟團了,我們自己度假享受去,不再趕時間看景點。說是這麽說,她寫的《巴士遊讚歌》還算是正麵的頌揚吧。

翻譯的中文

讚揚啊巴士遊

曾經有一個姓馬的家庭

拜訪了費城大都市

他們好想在那裏遊玩

但是沒有逗留的時間

因為他們要趕去特區

華盛頓特區很是不錯

父母已經去了那裏兩次

史密森博物館

看起來有點像個競技場

雖然裏麵的午餐缺乏調料

馬家還是進了館內參觀

(或者,你可以說他們被送入)

為了獲得大量的信息

象籮筐裝的那麽多

但在一個小時內他們的進展甚微

下一站是國會山莊

這絕對不是一個普通的地方

它看起來像座白色的宮殿

而不是地圖上的一個鼠標

所以馬家拍了不少照片

馬家又趕去蠟像館

與總統的雕塑共度時光

觀看目光如炬的凝視

這是一個非常大的迷宮

蠟像們看上去真假莫辨

最後的驚喜是在酒店

這不是特區的小旅館

而是在弗吉尼亞州

一片農耕地上的萬豪酒店

裏麵有一個仙境般的遊泳池

 

女兒的英文原稿

An Ode to this Bus Tour

There once was a family named Ma

Who visited the city of Philadelphia

They wanted to play

But couldn’t get to stay

For they had to leave for the DC

The District of Columbia was nice

Since the parents were visiting twice

The Smithsonian Museum

Which looked a bit like a coliseum

Though the food was lacking in spice

Inside the Smithsonian the Ma’s went

(Or, you could say they were sent)

To get lots of info

Certainly by the bucketful

But in an hour they hardly made a dent

The next stop was to Capitol Hill

Which was definitely not run-of-the-mill

It looked like the White House

And not like a mouse

So the Ma’s took many pictures

The Ma’s traveled to a wax sculpture place

With sculptures of the President’s days

With life-like gaze

It was a very big maze

And the wax sculptures looked real

The final surprise was in the hotel

Which wasn’t a DC motel

It was in Virginia

A Marriot in the lea

Where there was a wonderful pool
