W. B. Yeats - Among School Children (I) 汉译

I walk through the long schoolroom questioning;

A kind old nun in a white hood replies;

The children learn to cipher and to sing,

To study reading-books and histories,

To cut and sew, be neat in everything

In the best modern way - the children's eyes

In momentary wonder stare upon

A sixty-year-old smiling public man.

在学童中间（一）

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

我询问着，从长长的教室走过；

戴白头巾的和蔼的老修女作答解释；

孩子们学习算术，学习唱歌，

学习阅读语文课本和历史故事。

学习剪裁和缝纫，一切都干净利落，

以最佳的现代风格——孩子们时不时

带着好奇的神情，凝眸注目

一位六十岁的含笑的有名人物。
