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.
或许我该记着她还小，只是个小女孩，需要体贴。她兴趣盎然、充满渴望与活力。对她来说，这世界迷人、神奇、神秘又充满乐趣。当她发现一朵没见过的花，她会高兴得说不出话，她一定会拍拍它、摸摸它、闻闻它，还要跟它说说话，给它取上许多可爱的名字。
Perhaps I ought to remember that she is very young, a mere girl and make allowances. She is all interest, eagerness, vivacity, the world is to her a charm, a wonder, a mystery, a joy；she can't speak for delight when she finds a new flower, she must pet it and caress it and smell it and talk to it, and pour out endearing names upon it.
她热爱各种色彩：棕色的岩石，黄色的沙子，灰色的苔藓，绿色的树叶，蓝色的天空；还有破晓时分的珍珠色，山巅的紫色阴影，日落时分在暗红色海洋中漂浮的金色岛屿，于层层浮云中游走的清幽明月，如珠宝般在浩瀚宇宙中闪闪发光的星星——在我眼中这些东西毫无用处，然而对她来说，这些都是有颜色的和壮丽的，这便足够了，她为此爱得如痴如醉。
And she is color-mad：brown rocks, yellow sand, gray moss, green foliage, blue sky；the pearl of the dawn, the purple shadows on the mountains, the golden islands floating in crimson seas at sunset, the pallid moon sailing through the shredded cloud-rack, the star-jewels glittering in the wastes of space—none of them is of any practical value, so far as I can see, but because they have color and majesty, that is enough for her, and she loses her mind over them.
