斑馬問題 by 謝爾·希爾弗斯坦

 

我問斑馬

你是黑色的帶有白條紋？

還是白色的帶有黑條紋？

而斑馬問我，

你是好人帶有壞習慣？

還是壞人帶有好習慣？

你是喧鬧中偶爾安靜？

還是安靜中偶爾喧鬧？

你是快樂中帶些悲傷的日子？

還是悲傷中帶些快樂的日子？

你是整潔中有些邋遢的方式？

還是邋遢中有些整潔的方式？

他就這樣一遍又一遍地問

不停不停地問。

我再也不會問斑馬

關於條紋的

問題了。

 

Zebra Question  by Shel Silverstein

 

I asked the zebra

Are you black with white stripes?

Or white with black stripes?

And the zebra asked me,

Or you good with bad habits?

Or are you bad with good habits?

Are you noisy with quiet times?

Or are you quiet with noisy times?

Are you happy with some sad days?

Or are you sad with some happy days?

Are you neat with some sloppy ways?

Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?

And on and on and on and on

And on and on he went.

I'll never ask a zebra

About stripes

Again.

有意思，順便附和兩句，遇到壞人時變黑色...睡眼惺忪時是邋遢
