星期一
这个长头发的新生物真碍事。它总是在我周围晃悠，跟着我走来走去。我不喜欢这样，也不习惯有谁陪在我身边。我希望它老老实实地和其他动物待在一起。今天阴天，刮东风，感觉我们要有雨了……我们？这个词，我是从哪儿学来的？对，想起来了——是新生物用的。
Monday
This new creature with the long hair is a good deal in the way. It is always hanging around and following me about. I don't like this；I am not used to company. I wish it would stay with the other animals. Cloudy today, wind in the east；think we shall have rain……Where did I get that word?……I remember now—the new creature uses it.
星星也很美丽。我想抓一些下来，放到头发上。但我想，我永远也做不到。虽然它们看上去很近，却与我相距甚远。昨天晚上，星星刚亮起来的时候，我试着拿一根杆子想打一些下来，但根本够不到，这让我吃了一惊；然后我又试着用土块砸，直到累得筋疲力尽，我也没能打到一颗。因为我是左撇子，扔得又不准。
Stars are good, too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I suppose I never can. You would be surprised to find how far off they are, for they do not look it. When they first showed, last night, I tried to knock some down with a pole, but it didn’t reach, which astonished me；then I tried clods till I was all tired out, but I never got one. It was because I am left-handed and cannot throw good.
即使我朝着想要的星星旁边瞄准，还是打不中旁边的某一颗。不过有几次差点就成功了，因为我看见土块像个黑点一样，直直射入金黄色的星群中间，有四五十次吧，只差一点就能打中了，如果我再多坚持一会儿，或许就能打下一颗星星了。
Even when I aimed at the one I wasn't after I couldn't hit the other one, though I did make some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into the midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times, just barely missing them, and if I could have held out a little longer maybe I could have got one.
