53首中英文儿歌

什么是《My Very First Mother Goose》?

《My Very First Mother Goose》是关于一只鹅的故事吗？哈哈，不是。这是一本在英国广为流传的童谣集，里面有幽默故事、游戏、儿歌、谜语、催眠曲、字母歌、数数歌、绕口令等，就像小时候玩游戏念的“小白兔，白又白，两只耳朵竖起来”，朗朗上口，包含了英文发音的四十四种音素，是让孩子听觉敏锐的绝佳材料。

以下是我们收录的53首童谣的中英文翻译，也是在我们读书俱乐部第一阶段给孩子们学习的内容之一。

He is so small,

A rat could eat him

Take your elbows off the table

To fetch a pail of water;

See the little puffer-billies all in a row;

See the engine-driver pull his little lever-

Puff puff, peep peep, off we go!

瞧！小火车们排排站；

看那司机，拉开他的小把手，

Quite enough to fill a pillow.

And rain on the tree;

Rain on the house top,

But not on me.

If you want to warm your hands, Warm your hands now.

現在就来暖暖手！

I’m a little teapot, short and stout, Here’s my handle,

Here’s my spout.

When the tea is ready, hear my shout, Pick me up and

Pour me out!
