Flames

--Billy Collins

Smokey the Bear heads
into the autumn woods
with a red can of gasoline
and a box of wooden matches.

那只叫烟雾的熊
走进秋天的森林地带
携着一红色罐子汽油
和一盒木制火柴。

His ranger's hat is cocked
at a disturbing angle.

他的巡逻骑兵帽
翘起一个使人烦乱的角。

His brown fur gleams
under the high sun
as his paws, the size
of catcher's mitts,
crackle into the distance.

他的棕色皮毛
在高高的太阳下闪烁
当时他的爪子，棒球手
手套的尺寸，
劈啪作响远去。


He is sick of dispensing
warnings to the careless,
the half-wit camper,
the dumbbell hiker.

他讨厌分发
警告给粗心大意的
弱智的露营者，
蠢笨的徒步旅行者。

He is going to show them
how a professional does it.

他打算向他们演示
一个专业人员如何做。
