3.The Little Jumping Girls                                             
( Kate Greenaway,1846-1901)

Jump–jump–jump–
Jump away
From this town into
The next, to-day.

Jump–jump–jump–
Jump over the moon;
Jump all the morning,
And all the noon.

Jump–jump–jump–
Jump all night;
Won’t our mothers
Be in a fright?

Jump–jump–jump–
And leave behind
Everything evil
That we may find.

Jump–jump–jump–
Over the sea;
What wonderful wonders
We shall see.

Jump–jump–jump–
Jump far away;
And all come home
Some other day.

跳跃的小女孩

跳，跳，跳
一跃而起
越过此镇到那城

跳，跳，跳
跨过月球
跳，跳，跳
从早晨到正午

跳，跳，跳
一夜未停
妈妈们
哪个不吃惊？

跳，跳，跳
所有的厄运
都抛在脑后

跳，跳，跳
越过大海
奇观美景
尽收眼底

跳，跳，跳
跳向远方
假以时日
再回乡

期盼明年年再接再厉，

让更多让人吃惊的作品出现。
