最恐怖的童谣
我觉得那个时代流行的童谣都很血腥的!格林童话也是,原版几乎都有血腥的内容,只不过后来删掉了,找了一点,你看看吧
莉兹·玻顿拿起斧头,
砍了她爸爸四十下。
当她意识到她做了甚么,
她砍她妈妈四十一下。
安妮在《天遣女王》里,简克宝贝劈死自己父亲的时候,引用了这个典故——源于十九世纪轰动美国麻省的凶杀案。莉兹·玻顿并非与简克宝贝同年龄的小女孩,凶杀案发生时她已30岁。1892年8月4日中午,莉兹·玻顿叫唤她的邻居说,她的父亲被杀了,警察到来时,发现她的母亲也死了。母亲被斧子砍了18下,父亲被砍了10下。消息立即被传开了,媒体认为莉兹本人极有谋杀嫌疑。然而次年六月,法庭宣判莉兹无罪。此后,她的故事广为流传,被写成了小说,芭蕾,百老汇,歌剧。最后是日本的教科书将她的童谣作为鹅妈妈童话收录的。
⑴

所以,再会了,知更鸟。
空中所有的鸟,全都叹息哭泣,当他们听见丧钟,为可怜的知更鸟响起。

The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (复活节的兔子)by Beatrix PotterOne morning a little rabbit sat on a bank.He pricked his ears and listened to the trit-trot, trit-trot of a pony.A gig was coming along the road - it was driven by Mr. McGregor, and beside him sat Mrs. McGregor in her best bonnet.As soon as they had passed, little Benjamin Bunny slid down into the road, and set off - with a hop, skip and a jump - to call upon his relations, who lived in the wood at the back of Mr. McGregor’s garden.That wood was full of rabbit holes - and in the neatest sandiest hole of all, cousins - Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.Old Mrs. Rabbit was a widow - she earned her living by knitting rabbit-wool mittens and muffetees (I once bought a pair at a bazaar). She also sold herbs, and rosemary tea, and rabbit-tobacco (which is what we call lavender).Little Benjamin did not very much want to see his Aunt.He came round the back of the fir tree, and nearly tumbled upon the top of his Cousin Peter.Peter was sitting by himself. He looked poorly, and was dressed in a red cotton pocket handkerchief.“Peter,“ said little Benjamin, in a whisper, “who has got your clothes?“Peter replied, “The scarecrow in Mr. McGregor’s garden,“ and described how he had been chased about the garden, and had dropped his shoes and coat.Little Benjamin sat down beside his cousin, and assured him that Mr. McGregor had gone out in a gig, and Mrs. McGregor also - and certainly for the day, because she was wearing her best bonnet.Peter said he hoped that it would rain.At this point, old Mrs. Rabbit’s voice was heard inside the rabbit hole calling, “Cottontail! Cottontail! fetch some more camomile!“Peter said he thought he might feel better if he went for a walk.They went away hand in hand, and got upon the flat top of the wall at the bottom of the wood. From here they looked down into Mr. McGregor’s garden. Peter’s coat and shoes were plainly to be seen upon the scarecrow, topped with an old tamoshanter of Mr. McGregor’s.Little Benjamin said, “It spoils people’s clothes to squeeze under a gate - the proper way to get in, is to climb down a pear tree.“Peter fell down head first - but it was of no consequence, as the bed below was newly raked and quite soft.It had been sown with lettuces.They left a great many odd little foot marks all over the bed, especially little Benjamin, who was wearing clogs.Little Benjamin said that the first thing to be done was to get back Peter’s clothes, in order that they might be able to use the pocket handkerchief.They took them off the scarecrow. There had been rain during the night - there was water in the shoes, and the coat was somewhat shrunk.Benjamin tried on the tamoshanter, but it was too big for him.Then he suggested that they should fill the pocket handkerchief with onions, as a little present for his Aunt.Peter did not seem to be enjoying himself - he kept hearing noises.Benjamin, on the contrary, was perfectly at home, and ate a lettuce leaf. He said that he was in the habit of coming to the garden with his father to get lettuces for their Sunday dinner.(The name of little Benjamin’s papa was old Mr. Benjamin Bunny.)The lettuces certainly were very fine.Peter did not eat anything - he said he should like to go home. Presently he dropped half the onions.Little Benjamin said that it was not possible to get back up the pear tree, with a load of vegetables. He led the way boldly towards the other end of the garden. They went along a little walk on planks, under a sunny red brick wall.The mice sat on their door steps cracking cherry stones, they winked at Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin Bunny.Presently Peter let the pocket handkerchief go again.They got amongst flower pots, and frames and tubs - Peter heard noises worse than ever, his eyes were as big as lollipops!He was a step or two in front of his cousin, when he suddenly stopped.This is what those little rabbits saw round that corner!Little Benjamin took one look, and then, in half a minute less than no time, he hid himself and Peter and the onions underneath a large basket. . . .The cat got up and stretched herself, and came and sniffed at the basket.Perhaps she liked the smell of onions!Anyway, she sat down upon the top of the basket.She sat there for five hours.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I cannot draw you a picture of Peter and Benjamin underneath the basket, because it was quite dark, and because the smell of onions was fearful - it made Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin cry.The sun got round behind the wood, and it was quite late in the afternoon - but still the cat sat upon the basket.At length there was a pitter patter, pitter patter, and some bits of mortar fell from the wall above.The cat looked up and saw old Mr. Benjamin Bunny prancing along the top of the wall of the upper terrace.He was smoking a pipe of rabbit tobacco, and had a little switch in his hand.He was looking for his son.Old Mr. Bunny had no opinion whatever of cats.He took a tremendous jump off the top of the wall on to the top of the cat, and cuffed it off the basket, and kicked it into the garden house, scratching off a handful of fur.The cat was too much surprised to scratch back.When old Mr. Bunny had driven the cat into the greenhouse, he locked the door.Then he came back to the basket and took out his son Benjamin by the ears, and whipped him with the little switch.Then he took out his nephew Peter.Then he took out the handkerchief of onions, and marched out of the garden.When Mr. McGregor returned about half an hour later, he observed several things which perplexed him.It looked as though some person had been walking all over the garden in a pair of clogs - only the foot marks were too ridiculously little!Also he could not understand how the cat could have managed to shut herself up inside the greenhouse, locking the door upon the outside.When Peter got home, his mother forgave him, because she was so glad to see that he had found his shoes and coat. Cottontail and Peter folded up the pocket handkerchief, and old Mrs. Rabbit strung up the onions and hung them from the kitchen ceiling, with the rabbit tobacco.
