 "YES,this is a song for very small children!"de-clared Aunt Malle."As much as I should like to,I cannotfollow this'Dance,Dance,Doll of Mine!'"

But little Amalie could;she was only three years old,played with dolls,and brought them up to be just as wiseas Aunt Malle.

There was a student who came to the house to helpher brothers with their lessons,and he frequently spoke tolittle Amalie and her dolls;he spoke differently from any-one else,and the little girl found him very amusing,al-though Aunt Malle said he didn't know how to conversewith children-their little heads couldn't possibly graspthat silly talk.But little Amalie did.Yes,the student eventaught her the whole song,"Dance,Dance,Doll ofMine!"and she sang it to her three dolls;two were new,one a girl doll and the other a boy doll,but the third dollwas old;her name was Lise-momér.She also heard thesong,and was even in it.

Dance,dance,doll of mine!

Girl doll's dress is very fine.

Boy doll is a dandy,too;

He wears gloves and hat and shoe;

White pants,blue coat,him adorn;

On his toe he has a corn.

He is fine and she is fine.

Dance,dauce,doll of mine!

Old doll's name is Lise-moér;

She is from the year before;

Hair is new;it's made of flax, Forehead polished up with wax.

Young again,not old and done.

Come along,my cherished one, Let us dance a fast gavotte;

To watch it is worth a lot.

Dance,dance,doll of mine!

Watch your steps and get in line;

One foot forward;watch your feet.

Dancing makes you slender,sweet.

Bow and twist and turn around;

That will make you hale and sound.

What a sight it is to see!

You are doing fine,all three.

And the dolls understood the song;little Amalie un-derstood it,and so did the student,but then he had writ-ten it himself and said it was excellent.Only Aunt Malledidn't understand it;she had passed over the fence ofyouth."Silly song!"she said.

But not little Amalie!She sings it.It is from herthat we know it.

舞吧,舞吧,我的玩偶

 

“是的,这就是一支唱给顶小的孩子听的歌!”玛勒姑妈肯定地说,“尽管我不反对它,我却不懂这套‘舞吧,舞吧,我的玩偶’的意思!”

但是小小的爱美莉却懂得。她只有三岁;她跟玩偶一道玩耍,而且把它们教养得跟玛勒姑妈一样聪明。

有一个学生常常到她家里来;他教她的哥哥们做功课。他经常跟小爱美莉和她的玩偶讲话,而且讲得跟所有的人都不同。这位小姑娘觉得他非常好玩,虽然姑妈说过他不懂得应该怎样跟孩子讲话——小小的头脑是装不进那么多的闲聊的。但是小爱美莉的头脑可装得进。她甚至把学生教给她的这支歌都全部记住了:“舞吧,舞吧,我的玩偶!”她还把它唱给她的三个玩偶听呢——两个是新的:一个是男孩,一个是姑娘;第三个是旧的,名叫丽莎。她也听到了这支歌,甚至她就在歌里面呢。

舞吧,舞吧,我的玩偶!

嗨,姑娘的装束真美妙!

年轻绅士的打扮也很俏, 戴着礼帽,也戴着手套, 穿着白裤子和蓝色短袄, 大脚趾上长一个鸡眼包。

他和她正是在美的时候。

舞吧,舞吧,我的玩偶!

这儿是年老的妈妈丽莎!

从去年起她就来到这家;

她的头发换上新的亚麻, 她的脸用黄油擦了几下:

她又美得像年轻的时候, 请过来吧,我的老朋友!

请你们三个人旋舞几圈。

看一看这光景就很值钱。

舞吧,舞吧,我的玩偶!

步子必须跳得合乎节奏!

伸出一只脚,请你站好, 跳舞使你显得苗条可爱!

一弯,一扭,向后一转, 这就使你变得非常康健!

这情景让人看了多快乐, 你们三个干得都不错!

玩偶们都懂得这支歌;小爱美莉也懂得。

学生也懂得——因为这支歌是他自己编的,他还说这支歌真是好极了。只有玛勒姑妈不懂得。不过她已经跳过了儿童时代的这道栅栏。

“一支无聊的歌!”她说。小爱美莉可不认为是这样。

她唱着这支歌。我们就是从她那里听来的。

这篇很有风趣的作品最初发表在1871年11月15日哥本哈根出版的《儿童画报》上。这是安徒生所写的最后几篇童话之一。这也说明虽然安徒生已经接近他生命的尾声,他的“童心”仍未衰。“只有玛勒姑妈不懂得它(这支歌)”,“不过她已经跳过了儿童时代的这道栅栏。”但安徒生的心却永远留在儿童时代。
