歌词
The naming of cats is a difficult matter
[]什么是一只『杰里柯』猫呢？
It isn't just one of your holiday games
为猫命名并不容易
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
命名并不是闲暇时光的游戏
When I tell you a cat must have three different names
你可能认为我相当狂妄
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily
当我告诉你，猫必须有三个不同的名字
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James
首先，猫有一个日常家用的名字
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey
比如彼特、奥古斯都、阿兰佐或詹姆士
All of them sensible, everyday names
比如维克托、乔纳森、乔治或比尔贝利
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter
这些都是容易识别的常见名字
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames
若你想要听起来更可爱，还有更为讲究的名字
Such as Plato, Admetas, Electra, Demeter
有的像绅士，有的像女爵士
But all of them sensible everyday names
比如柏拉图、阿德墨托斯、伊莱克特拉、德墨特尔
But I tell you a cat needs a name that's particular
但这些仍都是容易识别的常见名字
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified
然而我要告诉你，猫还需要一个专属的名字
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular
更别出心裁，更为尊贵
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
要不然他怎能扬尾神气？
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum
骄傲翘须？
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo or Coricopat
这类名字，我能给你一个系列
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum
比如蒙克斯崔普，科威斯欧或考瑞科帕特
Names that never belong to more than one cat
比如苯巴陆丽娜，或者杰里罗润
But above and beyond there's still one name left over
一猫专享，绝不重名
And that is the name that you never will guess
然而除此之外，还有一个名字！
The name that no human research can discover
那是你永远猜不到的名字
But the at himself knows, and will never confess
人类研究无法发现的名字
When you notice a cat in profound meditation
然而猫自己知道，并且绝不透露
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
当你注意到一只猫陷入沉思
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
那么我告诉你，理由总是相同
Of the thought
他的心投入全神贯注地凝思
Of the thought
思索着
Of the thought
思索着
Of his name
思索着
His ineffable, effable, effanineffable
他的名字
Deep, and inscrutable, singular name
他那不能说的、无法言传的、难以形容的
