The Plum Tree
In the courtyard stands a plum tree,
It’s so small, no one believes it.
院子里长着一棵李子树,
那么娇小,没人相信它是树。
It has a fence around it,
So no one can stomp on it.
它四周围着栅栏,
没人会踩到它。
The little tree can’t grow,
Yes—it wants to grow!
这颗小树无法生长,
是的—虽然它很渴望生长!
No one talks about it,
It gets too little sun.
没人谈起它,
它得到的阳光少之又少。
No one believes it’s a plum tree,
Because it doesn’t have a single plum.
没人相信它是一棵李子树,
因为它连一棵果子也没结出。
But it is a plum tree,
You can tell by its leaf.
但它的确是李子树,
凭树叶就可看出。
