I do not propose to write an ode to dejection, but to brag as lustily as chanticleer in the morning, standing on his roost, if only to wake my neighbors up.

我不准备写颂歌，那会令人沮丧。可是我要像黎明时分的雄鸡一样，在栖木上引吭高歌，只为唤醒我的邻居。

As I have said, I do not propose to write an ode to dejection, but to brag as lustily as chanticleer in the morning, standing on his roost, if only to wake my neighbors up.

就像我以前说过的，我不想写一首沮丧的颂歌，只是想像雄鸡一样在早晨激情地歌唱，站在自己的栖木上，仅仅是为了把邻人唤醒。
