经典诗歌赏析——长者 Superior(2)

　　你的孩子要捉月亮。
　　Your baby wants to catch the moon. She is so funny; she calls Ganesh G?nush. [Ganesh, a common name in India, also that of the god with the elephant's head.]
　　她是这样的可笑；她把格尼许①唤作琪奴许。
　　Mother, your baby is silly, she is so absurdly childish!
　　妈妈，你的孩子真傻，她是那末可笑地不懂事！ ①格尼许（Ganesh）是毁灭之神湿婆的儿子，象头人身。同时也是现代印度人所最喜欢用来做名字的第一个字。
