The Milkmaid

閱讀 : 次

A country maid was walking to the town to sell some milk, which she carried in a pitcher on her head. As she went along, she said to herself, “I have already fifty eggs at home; with the money which I get for my milk I will buy fifty more. These hundred eggs cannot fail to bring me at least eighty chickens. The chickens will be ready for market just when poultry is dearest, so that they will sell for a good sum. With the money I will get me a new gown, and when I wear it at the fair the young fellows will want to dance with me, but I will turn from each with a toss of the head.”

As she said these words, she could not help giving her head a toss, when down fell pitcher, milk, eggs, poultry, gown, sweethearts, and all. Count not your chickens before they are hatched.

牛奶姑娘

一位鄉(xiāng)村姑娘到城里去賣牛奶。她頭頂奶壺，獨自行走，并自言自語地說：“我家里已經(jīng)有五十個雞蛋，我拿賣牛奶得到的錢可再去買五十個雞蛋，這一百個雞蛋至少會給我?guī)戆耸恍‰u。那些小雞待行情較好的時候出售，便可以得到一大筆錢。用這筆錢，我可以買一件新的長大衣，當(dāng)我穿了它去集市時，那些青年男子便會來邀我去跳舞，但我會對他們每個人昂首而去。”當(dāng)她說這句話時禁不住真的將頭一仰，于是，她的壺，牛奶，雞蛋，長大衣，情人等等，都隨她的頭一仰而完蛋了。因此，沒有成為事實的事是不可太樂觀的。
