【原】A Sailor Went to Sea Camp Song 水手出海露营歌（英语儿歌详解版）

（歌词翻译：武太白）

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea

To see what he could see, see, see

And all that he could see, see, see

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea

水手去出海，出海，出海，

看看有什么好看，好看，好看，

看到那好看，好看，好看的

就是深不见底的蓝色大海，大海，大海

Progressively faster

越来越快

详解：这是一首简洁明快的儿歌，歌词大意很简单，水手去出海，要看大海的景色，但只能看到深深的蓝色大海。之所以是“露营歌”，是有多人重复演唱，越唱越快，看看谁先出错，算是露营时的一种集体娱乐。

歌曲使用了一般过去时，可以在孩子学到这种时态的时候介绍这首歌给孩子学唱。虽然词句简单，这首歌里仍然包含了一两点高级的语法：

A sailor went to sea to see what he could see,

And all that he could see was the bottom of the deep blue sea.

what he could see是宾语从句，that he could see是定语从句，修饰的是all。the deep blue sea，请注意形容词的顺序。
