LESSON 4 THE LITTLE STAR 小星星

1.Twinkle, twinkle, little star;

How I wonder what you are,

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky!

2.When the blazing sun is set,

And the grass with dew is wet,

Then you show your little light;

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

3.Then, if I were in the dark,

I would thank you for your spark.

I could not see which way to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

4.And when I am sound asleep,

Oft^[1] you through my window peep;

For you never shut your eye,

Till the sun is in the sky.

【中文閱讀】

1.一閃一閃小星星，

我想知道你是誰，

高高掛在天空上，

好似鉆石放光芒。

2.夕陽西下夜來臨，

露水打濕小青草。

你即發出微弱光，

一閃一閃照夜空。

3.當我身處黑暗中，

感謝發光照亮我。

沒有你的閃閃亮，

我會迷路失方向。

4.當我夜晚入夢鄉，

你從窗戶偷照我。

你的眼睛從不閉，

直到太陽從東升。
