LESSON 45 What the sparrow chirps

第四十五課 麻雀在叫什么

I'm only a little sparrow,

我只是一只小小的麻雀，

A bird of low degree;

一種很低級的鳥類；

My life is of little value,—

我的生命沒有價值，——

But there's One who cares for me.

但是有一個人很關(guān)心我。

He gave me a coat of feathers:

他給了我一身羽毛：

It is very plain, I know,

我知道，這只是很普通的羽毛，

With never a speck of crimson,

上面沒有紅斑，

For it was not made for show;

只因這并非用于展示；

But it keeps me warm in winter,

但是有了它，我冬天不再受冷，

And it shields me from the rain;

有了它，我雨天不再被淋；

Were it bordered with gold or purple,

黃色或紫色的羽毛，

Perhaps it would make me vain!

或許也無此等功用！

And now that the spring-time cometh.

既然春天已經(jīng)來臨。

I will build me a little nest,

在我最喜歡的地方，

With many a chirp of pleasure,

我會為自己建一個小窩，

In the spot I like the best.

充滿歡樂的生活。

I have no barn or store-house,

我沒有谷倉或儲藏室，

I neither sow nor reap;

我也從來不播種，不收獲；

God gives me a sparrow's portion,

上帝讓我做一只麻雀，

But never a seed to keep.

卻并未賜予我種子。

If my meal is sometimes scanty,

如果我缺乏食物，

Close picking makes it sweet;

我會在附近覓食；

I have always enough to feed me,

我從不挨餓，

And "life is more than meat."

而且，“生活不僅僅是吃。”

I know there are many sparrows—all over the world we are found;but our heavenly Father knoweth,when one of us falls to the ground.

我知道，麻雀很多—— 隨處可見;但只有上帝知道我們的逝去。

Though small, we are never forgotten;

雖然渺小，我們卻從未被遺忘；

Though weak, we are never afraid:

雖然脆弱，我們卻不曾畏懼：

For we know there is One who keepeth,the life of the creatures He made.

因為我們知道，我們的生命屬于造物主。

I fly through the thickest forest,

我飛過最茂密的森林，

I light on many a spray;

我在許多家門前停落；

I have no chart nor compass,

我沒有地圖，也沒有指南針，

But I never lose my way.

但我從未迷路。

And I fold my wings at twilight,

黎明之際，我收起翅膀，

Wherever I happen to be;

無論此時的我身在何處；

For the Father is always watching,

因為上帝一直在旁觀望，

And no harm will come to me.

不會讓我受到傷害。
