I am Mei Ling (1)已全部更新。
在过去的几周里,我和女儿一起对I am Mei Ling (1)又进行了多次的修改。下面是几处修改的例子。
(16) (old)
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind
Blew right over to me, Mei Ling.
I couldn’t help shivering
And I couldn’t see anything.
在原I am Mei Ling (1)中有5,6个verses都是和Ling压韵,为此我们进行了修改。
(16) (new)
Suddenly, a gust of wind
Blew right over to me.
I couldn’t help shivering
And my eyes couldn’t see.
(36) (old)
My mom put a soft pink sheet
On the top bunk of the bed.
Then she held one of my hands.
Forcing a smile, she said,
在这一章里,原来有两处都是bed,said压韵,为此修改了一处。
(36) (new)
Mom put a pink sheet on the top bunk
After she had cleaned the bed a while.
Then she gently held one of my hands.
She said to me, forcing a smile.
(44) (old)
Dad’s shadow moved strangely.
When he was unpacking.
I knew it was his shadow.
It still frightened me, Mei Ling.
对unpacking和Ling来压韵进行了修改。
(44) (new)
Dad’s shadow moved strangely on the wall,
When he unpacked the things we brought.
Although I knew it was his shadow,
It still frightened me, a whole lot.
(75) (old)
He never tells lies.
I thought that in my brain.
“Look at my eyes, sweetheart,”
Dad said to me, again.
Again的发音有两种,当again的尾音发in时与brain压韵,当again的尾音发en时与then压韵。
在I am Mei Ling (1)中曾使用again与then压韵,again的发音应统一为en,不能用brain和again,所以对此处进行了修改。
(75) (new)
But I thought in my mind,
He never tells lies.
Again, Dad said to me,
“Sweetheart, look atmy eyes.”
