On a far away island of Salamasond

Yertle the turtle was king of the pond

A nice little pond
这是一个很不错的小池子
It was clean it was neat

The water was warm

There was plenty to eat

Until one day

The king of them all decided the kingdom he ruled was too small
乌龟大王觉得，他统治的王国太小了
I'm a ruler of all that I see
我目之所见，通通归我管
But I don't see enough and that's the trouble with me
问题是，我目力所及之处就这么一丁点儿
With this stone for a throne
用这么块石头当宝座
I am too low down
太矮了
I cannot look down upon the places beyond
我没法从上边儿往下俯瞰
So Yertle the turtle king lifted his hand
于是乌龟大王亚特尔挥了挥手
And Yertle the turtle king gave a command
下了一道命令
He ordered all the turtles onto one another's back
他让乌龟们一只接一只叠起来
He piled them high into a ten turtle stack

[02:07.31]I'm Yertle the turtle
我是乌龟大王亚特尔
The things I now rule
以下均归我所有
I'm king of a cow
我是奶牛的大王
I'm king of a mule
我是驴子的大王
Then down from below in the great turtle stack
这堆乌龟底下
Came a burp from a plain little turtle named Mack
有一只名叫马克的小乌龟打了个嗝儿
Just part of the throne
被当成了宝座压在下边儿
This burpin' little turtle looked up and said
这只打嗝的小乌龟抬头看了看说
"I beg your pardon king Yertle"
“亚特尔大王呀，请您原谅
I've pains in my back, my shoulders and my knees
我的背上，肩膀上，膝盖上都好疼呀
How long must we stand here your majesty
我们还要在这儿站多久呀，陛下？”
"Silence!" the king of the Turtles barked back
“肃静！”乌龟大王亚特尔
To the bad burpin' little turtle named Mack
对那只打嗝儿的小乌龟马克吼了一声
Oh marvelous me for I am ruler of all that I see
我是乌龟大王亚特尔
Yertle, Yertle the turtle...
噢，我多了不起，我目之所见，通通归我管
