一东北朋友介绍了亲爱的小鱼这本，百度一下，相当正点，不小心还找到了英文原版，太深情和优美了，如下

Dear little fish, I love you so

　　I’ll feed you bread so you will grow.

　　Each day, I’ll give you one sweet kiss

　　And promise you I’ll never miss!

　　But on the day , my dear little fish,

　　You grow too big for your small dish.

　　I will take you to the sea,

　　And in one move, I’ll let you free.

　　How you’ll be so glad to go,

　　But dear little fish, I’ll miss you so.

　　I will wait all through the day

　　To see if you turn’ round this way.

　　And I will wait all trough the night,

　　To see if you come back in sight.

　　Oh! I will throw my only hat

　　To see if you will bring it back

　　And the first joy that I will see,

　　Is when you bring it home to me.

　　Your back will be my favourite boat,

　　And together we will sail and float.

　　Over the river and cross’ the sea,

　　To a small island with a palm tree.

　　There we will both live and play,

　　“Catch the hat” by night and day. And I will know your love for me

　　For you came home when I set you free.

朗读一遍，酷似深情的告白。

好美的韵味，该打翻译的板子

写得太棒了，再细想，不晓得有多少好绘本被翻译糟蹋了

谢谢楼主给我们提供这么美的原文。这就是译文的尴尬。我看过绝大多数的英文童书都是以韵文为主，而翻译之后，由于英汉差异和翻译水平问题，语言的美感消失了，只剩下孤零零的画面与情节。

我已经买了中文版的了，干脆把英文的自己写到对应的每一页上面，用英文给孩子念，嘿嘿！
