鹅妈妈童谣全本(完整版)-2

备注： 出自《God Child vol.1》-《Black sheep》在最早的时候，最后一句是：什么都没有给小男孩。童谣里“master”指的是国王，“dame”指的是贵族，“little boy”即是最底层的平民。揭示了上流社会的有钱人对底层人的压迫和榨取。11.Sing a song of sixpence 唱一首六便士的歌Sing a song of sixpence,A pocket full of rye;Four and twenty blackbirds,Baked in a pie.唱一首六便士的歌，慢慢一袋的黑麦；24只黑鸟，烤在派中When the pie was opened,The birds began to sing;Was not that a dainty dish,To set before the king ?当派被打开，鸟儿们开始歌唱；这是多么美味的菜肴，摆放在国王面前？The king was in his counting-house,Counting out his money;The queen was in the parlour,Eating bread and honey.国王在他的金库里，清点他的财富；皇后在大厅里，吃着面包和蜂蜜。The maid was in the garden,Hanging out the clothes,There came a little blackbird,And snapped off her nose.女仆在花园里，晾着刚洗的衣服，来了只小黑鸫，突然啄下她的鼻子。备注： 出自《God Child vol.2》-《Bloodberry jam》这首童谣大约是17世纪中叶在民间出现，但在更早些时候似乎就有了迹象，在莎士比亚的《第12夜》中有这样的一句话：Come on, there is sixpence for you; let's have a song. 1614年，在包蒙(Beaumont 1584-1616)和佛勒契(John Fletcher 1579-1625)合作的一部作品中有这样的一句：Whoa, here's a stir now! Sing a song of sixpence!在这首童谣中，皇帝指的是英国都铎王朝的第二代国王亨利八世（HenryⅧ,1509-1547），他的残暴乖戾在历代君主中是很突出的，拥有6位妻子并处决了2位而闻名。童谣中的女王指的是凯瑟琳（Catherine of Aragon），她是西班牙阿拉贡国王斐迪南二世的女儿，曾经是亨利七世的妻子，亨利八世的第一任妻子，但是由于她没有为亨利生下皇子，渐渐导致亨利对她的冷淡，但又由于教会的原因使之迟迟不能废后。“皇后在大厅里吃着面包和蜂蜜”这句算是影射了当时凯瑟琳被冷落的情形吧。在那时亨利看中了安妮·博林（Anne Boleyn, 1507?--1516），她是托马斯·博林爵士和伊丽莎白·霍华德郡主的小女儿，也就是他的第2任妻子--童谣中的那个侍女。然而她也没有为亨利生下儿子，又由于她天生的生理缺陷和一些政治因素，安妮被控告与5个男人通奸，其中包括与她的亲兄弟乔治·伯林通奸——乱伦的罪行被关进伦敦塔，随后于1536年5月19日被处决，成为第一个被处决的王后。这也就是“来了只小黑鸫，突然啄下她的鼻子”的来历吧。童谣中的“派”和“24只黑鸫”分别是指格拉斯顿堡的管理人，和他所赠送给亨利八世的圣诞礼物。这首童谣则被引用到阿加莎·克里斯蒂的令一部小说《黑麦奇案》 （A Pocket Full of Rye），这个案件本身并没有什么特别，吸引人的独到之处是它的天才般的杀人手法和意想不到的凶手。－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－12.There was an old man 从前有个老人There was an old manAnd he had a calfAnd that's half从前有个老人他养了一头小牛现在说到一半He took him out of the stallAnd put his on the wallAnd that's all老人把小牛带出牛舍再把它系在墙上这就是全部备注：出自《Mad tea party》《Scold's Bridle》《Zigeunerweisen》《Mortician's daughter》《Little Miss Muffet》《Bloody Maria》《Castrato》《ユダの接吻》《エディプスの刃》《Misericorde》每一章的最后一句"And that's all"出自于此。－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－13.Little Miss Muffet 小玛菲特小姐Little Miss MuffetSat on a tuffet,Eating her curds and whey;There came a big spider,Who sat down beside herAnd frightened Miss Muffet away小玛菲特小姐坐在土堆上吃着乳凝和乳清来了一只大蜘蛛坐在她旁边吓跑了玛菲特小姐备注： 出自《God Child vol.3》-《Little Miss Muffet》14.What are little boys made of ? 小男孩是由什么做的？What are little boys made of ?Frogs and snails　And puppy-dogs' tails,　小男孩是由什么做的？青蛙和蜗牛还有小狗的尾巴What are little girls made of ?　Sugar and spice　　And all that's nice.小女孩是由什么做的？糖和香料都是那么的美好呀备注：出自《God Child vol.4》-《Bloody Maria》这是吉倍尔医生回忆小时候时出现的。放在这章里的具体用意觉得很隐晦。小男孩是由什么做的？好象就是在质问吉倍尔的存在一样。－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－15.Georgie Porgie 乔治·珀治Georgie Porgie,pudding and pie,Kissed the girls and made them cry;When the boys came out to play,Georgie Porgie ran away.乔治·珀治布丁和派亲吻女孩惹她们哭男孩们出来玩耍时乔治·珀治就跑了备注： 出自《God Child vol.2》-《Bloodyberry Jam》－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－16.Simple Simon 无知的西蒙Simple Simon met a piemanGoing to the fair;Says Simple Simon to the pieman,"Let me taste your ware."无知的西蒙遇见一个卖派的商人正要赶往集市；无知的西蒙对卖派的商人说：“让我尝尝你的东西。 ”Says the pieman to Simple Simon,"Show me first your penny."Says Simple Simon to the pieman,"Indeed I have not any."商人对无知的西蒙说：“先让我看看你的便士吧。”无知的西蒙对商人说：“其实我身无分文。”He went to catch a dickeybird,And thought he could not fail,Because he'd got a little salt,To put upon his tail.他去抓小鸟，并认为自己不会失败，因为他有一把盐，撒在它的尾巴上。He went to take a bird's nest,Was built upon a bough;The branch gave way and Simon fellInto a dirty slough.他去取小鸟的窝，那个筑在一根大树枝上的鸟窝；树枝断了西蒙掉下来落在肮脏的泥沼里。He went to shoot a wild duck,But wild duck flew away;Say Simon, I can't hit him,Because he will not stay.他去打野鸭，但是野鸭飞走了；西蒙说，我打不中它，因为他不呆在那里。Simple Simon went a-fishing,For to catch a whale;All the water he had gotWas in his mother's pail.无知的西蒙去钓鱼，想要钓一条鲸鱼；然而他所拥有的水都在妈妈的水桶里。Simple Simon went a-hunting,For to catch a hare;He rode an ass about the streets,But couldn't find one there.无知的西蒙去打猎，想要打中一只野兔；他骑着驴穿过街道，那里找不到一只野兔。He went for to eat honey,Out of the mustard pot;He bit his tongue until he cried,That was all the good he got.他去吃蜂蜜，从一只餐桌上的芥末罐子；他咬着自己的舌头直到哭出来，这就是他吃到的全部。He went to ride a spotted cowThat had a little calf;She threw him down upon the ground,Which made the people laugh.他去骑头花斑牛可母牛还有头小牛；母牛甩他在地上，惹的人们笑哈哈。Once Simon made a great snowball,And brought it in to roast;He laid it down before the fire,And soon the ball was lost.一次西蒙做了个大雪球，把它带回来烤一烤；把它放在火前面，雪球一会儿不见了。He went to slide upon the iceBefore the ice would bear;Then he plunged in above his knees,Which made poor Simon stare.他到冰上去滑冰在冰还能支撑前；接着他陷入水中直到膝盖，可怜的西蒙睁大了眼。He washed himself with blacking ball,Because he had no soap;Then said unto his mother,"I'm a beauty now, I hope."他用黑色的鞋油来洗澡，因为他没有肥皂；然后他对妈妈说：“我现在很漂亮，我希望。”Simple Simon went to lookIf plum grew on a thistle;He pricked his fingers very much,Which made poor Simon whistle.无知的西蒙去看看李子是不是长在蓟上；手被刺伤了好几次，可怜的西蒙唿哨着。He went for water in a sieve,But soon it all ran through.And now poor Simple SimonBids you all adieu.他用筛网取水，但是水很快就漏光了。可怜而又无知的西蒙啊永远地再见了备注： 出自《God Child vol.8》-《Godless》最后一章的最后一句"Bids you all adieu"因该就是出自这首童谣吧。"Bids you all adieu"可以理解为“永别”的意思。“bid"是在这里是“吩咐，告诉”的意思。"adieu"是从法语衍生而来的。"adieu"是“再见，辞别”的意思。从中古英语"adew"变化而来，这个词又是从古代法语"adieu"(à + dieu)来的，意义为“献身于神”，"dieu"是“神”的意思。综合起来看，就可以理解为“永别”的意思了。哎……也就是说该隐的故事再也不会有了，那是最终的了。他带着优雅的微笑，Bids you all adieu.－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－17.Three Blind Mice 三只瞎眼的老鼠Three blind mice!
