You're off to Great Places!往好地方出發!
You're off and away!你啟程走天涯!

You have brains in your head.你有頭腦。
You have feet in your shoes.也有腳力。
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.想往哪兒走就往哪兒走。
You’re on your own. And you know what you know.孤身上路,你自持自知。
And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.路在何方,你自有主意。

You’ll look up and down streets. Look ’em over with care.你會上下打量,小心擇路。
About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.”有些你一看便知:“那不是我要走的路。”
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,你才智滿腦,足下是勁,
you’re too smart to go down any not-so-good street.聰敏如你,怎會走上那些岔路窮途。
And you may not find any you’ll want to go down.也許你會找不到想走的路。
In that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town.如果是這樣,自然,你會立馬離城再覓去處。
It’s opener there in the wide open air.曠野大漠,更盡開闊。

Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you.在那邊,人若如你,勤快聰慧,往往大有作為。
And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew.當大任降身,別擔心,別焦躁。

Wherever you fly, you’ll be the best of the best.飛往何處,你都是卓越之最。
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.去往何方,你都能蓋世奪魁。

Except when you don’t.做不到的時候除外,
Because, sometimes, you won’t.因為,有時,你會做不到如此精彩。
I’m sorry to say so很遺憾得這麼說,But, sadly, it’s true可嘆,這是事實。
That Bang-ups吃閉門羹
And Hang-ups遇阻受礙
Can happen to you.你可能也會如此。
You can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch.你也許會被困卡在荊棘高處。
And you gang will fly on.同伴都繼續飛翔,

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.你會來到掩隱的小路,

Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?你敢留在外面?你敢走進裡面?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?有多少可失去?有多少能贏取?
And IF you go in, should you turn left or right…假若真走進去,該轉左還是轉右……
Or right-and-three-quarters Or, maybe, not quite?還是右轉四分三?或者,也許,不夠?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?還是轉回去,從後潛入?
Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find,恐怕即使滿心決意,
For a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.你也覺得,要下決心也不容易。

ou can get so confused that you’ll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace你也許會一時迷亂, 拔腿沿曲折的長路亡命狂奔,
and grind on for miles across weir dish wild space, headed,熬折奔跑千里, 經過遍野光怪陸離,
I fear, toward a most useless place.我擔心,你跑向的是那最無用之地。
The Waiting Place…那“等候之地”……

… for people just waiting.那兒的人只知等候。
Waiting for a train to go等火車走,
Or a bus to come, or a plane to go等巴士到,等飛機飛,
