许其正:比我高

──给外孙女若妍的童诗(12)

一刹那间,我感到

你长得比我高

其实,你才将两岁

和一般的孩子没两样

不知良药苦口

吃药时不住地哭泣,拒吃

谁也劝不过你

“感冒、咳嗽就是细菌在作怪

吃了药,把细菌杀死了

就不会生病了”

听了我这句话

你便止了哭泣

虽然仍皱着眉头

毕竟把药吃下去了

一刹那间,我感到

你长得比我高

别说我回到小时候

即使现在,我还是要

仰着头看你

Taller than I  Hsu ChiCheng

In a twinkle, I feel

You have grown taller than I

In fact, you are aged two only

No difference from other babies

You don’t know that bitter medicine cures sickness

So you refuse to take medicine

Without following anyone’s advice

“Catching cold means bacterium making mischief

And medicine can kill them

You will be strong after taking these medicines”

After hearing my words

You stop crying

And try to have

Swallow these tables

That moment , I feel

You have grown taller than I

In spite of my return to childhood

Even now I feel I should raise my head

To look up at you@
