【汉译英】
孩子简单。他们不爱钱, 不爱荣誉, 不爱大而漂亮的房子, 有人把他弄痛了, 哭过一场也什么都忘了。所以, 他们脑袋一碰枕头就能呼呼睡去, 拥有世界上最佳质量的睡眠。
孩子好奇。孩子总在想一些东西, 也在思考一些东西。他们的大脑常常处于快乐的旋转之中。一朵奇特的云, 一片鲜见的树叶, 都会引发孩子许多的联想。同样的生活, 在孩子的眼里会呈现出我们发现不了的乐趣和快乐。
【参考译文】
Children are not sophisticated. They do not love money or reputation, or those big and magnificent houses. If they are hurt by someone, they cry it off. That is why they usually fall to sound sleep once their heads touch the pillow, and they enjoy the best-quality sleep in the world.
Children arc always curious. They are always fancying and thinking, and their brain is always in a happy whirl. A strangely-shaped cloud, a rarely-seen leaf, all these will arouse endless associations from them. The same life, in children's eyes, will present pleasures and happiness which we grown-ups can never imagine.
