昨晚我夢見了很多雞
作者： 傑克•普魯斯基 翻譯：貝殼 ，摘自【精選英詩漢譯一百首】
昨天晚上我夢見了很多雞，
牠們到處都是，
牠們站在我的肚子上，
牠們在我的頭髮上築窩
牠們在我的枕頭上啄食，
牠們在我的頭上跳來跳去，
牠們在我的床上互相追逐時
弄亂了自己的羽毛。
牠們站在椅子和桌子上，
牠們跳上枝形吊燈，
牠們棲息在角落裡，
牠們在我的耳邊咯咯地叫，
到處都是雞，雞，雞...
目所能及的都是。
今天當我醒來時，我發現
有雞蛋在我身上。
Last Night I Dreamed Of Chickens
by Jack Prelutsky
Last night I dreamed of chickens,
there were chickens everywhere,
they were standing on my stomach,
they were nesting in my hair,
they were pecking at my pillow,
they were hopping on my head,
they were ruffling up their feathers
as they raced about my bed.
They were on the chairs and tables,
they were on the chandeliers,
they were roosting in the corners,
they were clucking in my ears,
there were chickens, chickens, chickens
for as far as I could see...
when I woke today, I noticed
there were eggs on top of me.
