一
On the top of the Crumpetty Tree
The Quangle Wangle sat,
But his face you could not see,
On account of his Beaver Hat.
For his Hat was a hundred and two feet wide,
With ribbons and bibbons on every side,
And bells, and buttons, and loops, and lace,
So that nobody ever could see the face
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee.
有一头怪兽叫“狂怪王”，
坐在一棵烤面包树上；
他的脸呀你瞧不到，
因为一海狸皮帽将它挡。
帽子有一百零二英尺宽，
垂丝带、镶钮扣、套着环，
还缝着漂亮的花边真好看；
所以从来没人能看清
“狂怪王”的怪脸蛋。
二
The Quangle Wangle said
To himself on the Crumpetty Tree,
"Jam, and jelly, and bread
Are the best of food for me!
But the longer I live on this Crumpetty Tree
The plainer than ever it seems to me
“狂怪王”在烤面包树上待，
自言自语地说起来：
“果酱、果冻和面包，
这些美味乃是我最爱！
我在烤面包树上已待够，
这个世界我早看透，
That very few people come this way
And that life on the whole is far from gay!"
Said the Quangle Wangle Quee.
这里空****再没有人来到，
这日子我过得可真郁闷。”
“狂怪王”自言自语道。
三
But there came to the Crumpetty Tree
Mr. and Mrs. Canary;
And they said, "Did ever you see
Any spot so charmingly airy?
May we build a nest on your lovely Hat?
Mr. Quangle Wangle, grant us that!
O please let us come and build a nest
Of whatever material suits you best,
Mr. Quangle Wangle Quee!"
这时候朝着烤面包树，
飞来对金丝雀夫妇；
他们说：“请问您是否知道，
何处干爽又舒服？
我们能否把窝安上您的帽？
