《鹅妈妈童谣》·茶靡

41、少了个钉子掌

　　41.

　　For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
　　For want of a shoe the horse was lost,
　　For want of a horse the rider was lost,
　　For want of a rider the battle was lost,
　　For want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
　　And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

　　因为少了个钉子掌丢了，
　　因为少了个掌子马丢了，
　　因为少了匹马骑士丢了，
　　因为少了个骑士战争输了，
　　因为战争输了王国丢了，
　　所有都是因为少了个马掌钉。
