[原文] A Tree in a Field
Matthew Tener Wade
There once was a tree,
A tree alone in a field.
And as that tree grew
It got bigger than all ’round.
And people would often stop
Just to look at that tree,
That tree in a field.
Till one day one person,
Went and cut down that tree,
That tree in a field.
And you know what?
That tree learned one thing
Don’t stand too tall too fast,
Or someone just might
Cut you down.
曾经有棵树,
独立田野里。
它迅速生长,
变成参天树。
为仰这高树,
行人常驻足。
树站田野里。
直到有一天,
来了一个人,
把这棵大树——
砍倒田野里。
从中悟出啥?
树知一个理:
勿站太高、长太快,
不然——
被人砍倒就很快。 [/原文]
