Lesson 11 The Blacksmith 第11课 铁匠
iron eyelids forge intense
clinkerty shrink labor hammer
Clink, clink, clinkerty clink!
We begin to hammer at morning's blink,
And hammer away
Till the busy day,
Like us, aweary, to rest shall sink.
Clink, clink, clinkerty clink!
From labor and care we never will shrink;
But our fres we'll blow
Till our forges glow
With light intense, while our eyelids wink.
Clink, clink, clinkerty clink;
The chain we'll forge with many a link.
We'll work each form
While the iron is warm,
With strokes as fast as we can think.
Clink, clink, clinkerty clink!
Our faces may be as black as ink,
But our hearts are true
As man ever knew,
And kindly of all we shall ever think.

叮当!叮当!叮当!
天刚蒙蒙亮,我们就开始挥锤打铁,
叮当!叮当!叮当!
一天到晚砸个不停,
直到疲惫,酣然入睡。
叮当!叮当!叮当!
我们没有抱怨,也没有怠工,
我们把铁砸得火花四溅,
直到锻造的铁泛起光芒。
火花四溅,我们一直在眨眼。
叮当!叮当!叮当!
我们正在锻造铁链。
我们认真地锻造每一段铁链,
我们用最快的速度敲击铁链,
铁链被我们砸得通红。
叮当!叮当!叮当!
我们的脸黑如墨水,
但我们的心很真诚,
因为,人们都知道
我们热爱美好的事物。
