【童謠】
Oh, the brave old duke of York,
He had ten thousand men;
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only half way up,
They were neither up nor down.
這是英國(guó)中世紀(jì)一首旋律輕快的童謠沃饶,歌詞主角老約克公爵是英國(guó)家喻戶(hù)曉的人物镀钓。歌詞大意是:
偉大的老約克公爵
他有一萬(wàn)子民
他讓他們走到山頂
又讓他們走下來(lái)
他們一會(huì)兒在上面
他們一會(huì)兒在下面
當(dāng)他們?cè)诎肷窖臅r(shí)候
他們不在上面也不在下面
