CHILD, how happy you are sitting in the dust, playing with a broken twig all the morning.	孩子，你真是快活呀，一早晨坐在泥土里，耍著折下來(lái)的小樹枝兒。
I smile at your play with that little bit of a broken twig.	我微笑地看你在那里耍著那根折下來(lái)的小樹枝兒。
I am busy with my accounts, adding up figures by the hour.	我正忙著算帳，一小時(shí)一小時(shí)在那里加疊數(shù)字。
Perhaps you glance at me and think, "What a stupid game to spoil your morning with!"	也許你在看我，想道：這種好沒(méi)趣的游戲，竟把你的一早晨的好時(shí)間浪費(fèi)掉了！
Child, I have forgotten the art of being absorbed in sticks and mud-pies.	孩子，我忘了聚精會(huì)神玩耍樹枝與泥餅的方法了。
I seek out costly playthings, and gather lumps of gold and silver.	我尋求貴重的玩具，收集金塊與銀塊。
With whatever you find you create your glad games, I spend both my time and my strength over things I never can obtain.	你呢，無(wú)論找到什么便去做你的快樂(lè)的游戲，我呢，卻把我的時(shí)間與力氣都浪費(fèi)在那些我永不能得到的東西上。
In my frail canoe I struggle to cross the sea of desire, and forget that I too am playing a game.	我在我的脆薄的獨(dú)木船里掙扎著要航過(guò)欲望之海，意忘了我也是在那里做游戲了。
