Oh where, oh where can he be?Oh where, oh where can he be?I wonder what could it beOh where, oh where can he be?Oh where, oh where can he be?I last saw him by the bulldozerPlaying and running aroundBut I can't see him there anymoreHe just can't seem to be foundPerhaps the man over there will knowHe may have seen him go byHe might have decided to goBut we've got to give it a tryOh where, oh where can he be?Oh where, oh where can he be?Allnurseryrhymes网站说这是一首非常幽默的童谣,说实话,翻译完全文,我也没觉得这首童谣幽默到哪里去了,可能我们对英语的幽默还不容易理解吧。如果说真的有幽默的话,那只能是在“耳朵剪短、尾巴剪长”这里了。 这首歌唱的内容非常简单,就是小朋友的小狗走丢了,小主人公去到处找,这里看看,那里看看,想想也许在这里,也许在哪里,彷徨无措的心情,刻画得很逼真。当然,现在很多版本就只有最前面一节,那是肯定不够的,我这里找了完整的版本,相信看完后大家会有不同的感受。 这首歌是介绍现在完成时的良好素材。歌曲标题,where has my little dog gone,这就是一个现在完成时的句子,它强调的是my little dog is missing,狗狗不见了。其他歌词,都是围绕这句话来展开的。我们看到,歌词里大部分是现在时,也有个别过去时的句子,就是这个道理。歌曲的音韵节奏是采用的交替韵脚,Alternate Rhyme,也即ABAB型,当然这里为了排版的方便,第二句话一般拆成两行,从而看起来像是每节五行,其实是四行ABAB的结构。
