I once met this old wise man 有一次，我遇到了这个老智者

He invited me into his caravan 他邀请我到他的大篷车

We sat down for a cup of tea 我们坐下来喝杯茶

He sat down very gingerly 他坐下来小心翼翼

He said he's still got a sore back 他说，他仍然有背部疼痛

From the time on the roof with Jack 从时间上屋顶杰克

   

"We were on the roof one day, “我们在屋顶有一天，

When suddenly I heard Jack say, 当突然听到杰克说，

'Look out for that crack!' “看出来了裂缝！ ”

Phewhack! Phewhack ！

I was lying on my back." 我躺在我的背上。 “

   

When I was just your age, I was already working 当我还是你的年龄，我已经工作

For a shilling a day 一先令，每天

It was just enough to make ma say, 这只是足以让马云说，

"Oh, Johnny you make me so proud!" “呵呵，小强，你让我如此骄傲！ ”

   

Pa would come home from work, 霸就下班回家，

And say, "John, one day, you'll work with me down at the factory." 并说， “约翰，有一天，你会和我一起工作下来的工厂。 ”

But I don't want to work in no factory 但我不想在任何工厂工作

So I packed my bags and I headed for the tree. 于是我收拾我的行李，我直奔树。

   

I was only away from home for about an hour 我是从家里只走了大约一个小时

But I was home in time for tea 但我是家里的时间喝茶

I said very politely that I didn't want to work in no factory. 我说的很客气，我不想在没有工厂上班。

   

Pa said, "John you're a second-class citizen, 爸爸说， “约翰，你是个二等公民，

And you're never gonna get very far." 而且你永远不会走得很远。 “

I said, "Pa, I'm gonna see the world, I'm gonna see it all. 我说：“霸，我要看到这个世界，我会看到这一切。

I'm gonna be all that I can be, and more." 我会是所有我可以等。 “

   

And then he finished his cup of tea, 然后，他完成了他的茶，

Reached into his pocket and pulled out a key 把手伸进口袋，掏出钥匙

He said, "You can have my old caravan, I won't be needing it anymore. 他说， “你可以把我的老车队，我不会需要它了。

Because I've see all I wanna see, and more." 因为我已经看到所有我想看到的，等等。 “
