上四年級的兒子寫的英文詩三首如下。
1. A Snowy Winter Day
Playing in the snow is fun,
ZOOM... that's how the sleds run.
Snowball fighting with a foe,
then inside drinking hot cocoa.
After resting for a while,
I could see snow, so thick in a pile.
Couldn't help going out and play,
this could be my best winter day.
2. Merry Christmas to you all
I went outside with a case,
snow was blowing in my face.
I filled my case with some fresh snow,
outside within the sun's glow.
I took my case and walked back to
the room that was numbered number 2.
And there it hang, the sign on the wall,
"Merry Christmas to you all".
3. New Year Celebration
Celebrating the New Year,
Come on now, let's give a cheer.
Staying up until midnight
to glimpse at the firework's delight.
下面是我試著翻譯的第二首:
持畚出柴扉,
菱花撲面吹。
俯身掬一捧,
日照泛銀輝。
取雪回屋中,
室在第二層。
「大家聖誕好」,
牆上寫分明。
