Halfway Down
楼梯半腰
A. A. Milne · A.A.米尔恩
Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair
Where I sit
There isn't any
Other stair
Quite like
It.
I'm not at the bottom,
I'm not at the top;
So this is the stair
Where
I always
Stop.
Halfway up the stairs
Isn't up,
And isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in the town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head:
"It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead!"
楼梯半腰
有一级台阶
我坐在那里
没有别的台阶
像它
一样。
我不在底部，
也不在顶部；
所以这是一级
我总会
停下
的台阶。
爬上楼梯的一半
不是向上，
也不是向下。
它不在育儿室，
也不在镇上。
各种有趣的想法
在我脑中打转：
"它其实
不在任何地方！
而是在别处！"
《小熊维尼》作者米尔恩的童趣诗：楼梯半腰是孩子专属的"什么地方都不是"的小天地。
