[p=30, 2, center][b][size=4]A Foolish Boy[/size][/b][/p][font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]A gay young [b]spark[/b] I knew, who happened from his aunt great riches to [b]inherit[/b].[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]一个放荡的纨绔少年从他姑妈那里继承了一大笔遗产[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,]He started squandering and squandered with such spirit, that all his worldly wealth was I.O.U.[/font]
[font=verdana,]他开始大肆挥霍，直到所有的财富都成了欠条。[/font]
[font=verdana,]He had a fine [b]fur[/b] coat, still new. It was winter at the time, and old Jack Frost was in his [b]prime[/b].[/font]
[font=verdana,]他有一件上好的皮大衣，还是崭新的。当时正值严冬时节[/font]
[font=verdana,]One day a s wallow passed: what does our booby do. But pawn the [b]fur[/b] as well![/font]
[font=verdana,]有一天，天上飞过一只燕子。这个傻瓜做了什么？他把皮衣当掉了！[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]"Why, aren't we all aware, you'll never see a [b]swallow[/b] in the air till spring [b]insight[/b]![/p]
“谁不知道只有到了春天,天空才会出现燕子呢,”浪子想，
So now,"thinks [b]prodigal[/b],"my [b]fur[/b] is useless quite. Why wrap oneself in furs?
“所以，现在我的皮大衣没用了，为何还要紧裹着它呢？
It is now the first spring breezes. To Nature's waking [b]realm[/b] bring everything that pleases, andto the silent North the banished Frost takes wing."
第一缕春风已经吹过，苏醒的大自然一切都令人心旷神怡，严冬也跑到寂静的北方了。”
Our friend is quick at reckoning. He only quite forgets—at least, until he sneezes, one [b]swallow[/b]does not make the spring.
至少打喷嚏之前，这个少年很会盘算，只是他忘记了——一燕不成春。
And so it proves! The frosts return again. The carts go creaking through the crumbled snow,the chimneys puff their smoke, one very window [b]pane[/b], [b]delightful[/b] fairy tracings show.
确实如此！寒冬又回来了！马车咯吱咯吱地穿过冰天雪地，烟囱冒着烟，玻璃上结满了形状各异的冰花。
Poor rake! His eyes with rheumy moisture flow; the little bird that [b]spoke[/b] of summer days tofollow, lies frozen in the snow.
可怜的浪子，他感冒了，泪流不止，而那只代表夏季即将到来的燕子冻死在雪地里。
He stands beside the [b]swallow[/b]. And shakes, and holds his breath, and mumbles through histeeth, "You [b]villain[/b], any how you'refinished too!
浪子站在燕子旁边，冻得发抖，他屏住呼吸，嘴里喃喃地道：“坏蛋！不管怎么说，你都完蛋了！
I thought that I could count on you! To pawn my [b]fur[/b] just now—a pretty thing to do!"
我以为还能指望你呢！我刚刚把皮衣卖了——简直太糟糕了！”
