英文版 好想当嘉然小姐的狗

翻到了萌娘百科上的英文版。读的很不满意。
然后脑海中浮现了要是我翻译的话，我会这么这么写的念头。所以就写了
一年多没正经写英文文章了。希望学到的没有都还给老师TvT

How I wish I could become Miss Diana's dog.
Yet Miss Diana claims she likes cats. I wept.
I know the reason behind my tears, despite being neither a cat nor a dog.
Alas, I am a mouse.
Never have I dreamed of being adored by Miss Diana.
I am well aware
that the public lavishes love on the rich and intelligent kittens and puppies; not a thought is spared for the ill, dreary mice.
Nevertheless, to Miss Diana I proposed: "May I be your dog?"
Fate says no. The answer, I know.
If she were fond of dogs, then I could stay by her side forever and study her; even if only dogs occupy her arms day and night.
But she adores cats.
The reason her gaze still lingers on me, the reason she continues to poke fun at me, is that her cat has not yet appeared.
There is only me, day after day, maneuvering out of the mouse hole, peering at her from afar.
The day her beloved kitten arrives is the day I shall retreat back to my place.
Still, I am helplessly in love with her.
I beg, I plead.
Could she spare me more attention while I am still near?
Miss Diana promised that she will accompany us every upcoming Christmas.
Who constitutes 'us'?
How I wish she could take the union of this set and I.

Toward Miss Diana, the cat still harbours fear.
As bait, I will draw the cat near.
I know the risk: I could become the cat's treat.
If that were the case, Miss Diana will likely wrap up my body and fling it out the door.
Then, I will become a pack of meat.
Nonetheless, I still hope she conserves her strength in her toss.
That way, I could at least still be near her.
Because I still like her.
Very much.
For eternity.

My soul lingers near the window,
My gaze penetrates the glass.
The bell chimes and sings,
On the sofa, Miss Diana naps.
The cat, feigning tameness, sits on her shoulder.
The flame in the hearth casts a glow on her face.
My heart, frozen by the cold wind,
Vibrates faintly with heat.

最后一段刻意押韵了:P
附上原文

我好想做嘉然小姐的狗啊。
可是嘉然小姐说她喜欢的是猫，我哭了。
我知道既不是狗也不是猫的我为什么要哭的。因为我其实是一只老鼠。
我从没奢望嘉然小姐能喜欢自己。我明白的，所有人都喜欢理解余裕上手天才打钱的萌萌的狗狗或者猫猫，没有人会喜欢阴湿带病的老鼠。
但我还是问了嘉然小姐:“我能不能做你的狗？”
我知道我是注定做不了狗的。但如果她喜欢狗，我就可以一直在身边看着她了，哪怕她怀里抱着的永远都是狗。
可是她说喜欢的是猫。
她现在还在看着我，还在逗我开心，是因为猫还没有出现，只有我这老鼠每天蹑手蹑脚地从洞里爬出来，远远地和她对视。
等她喜欢的猫来了的时候，我就该重新滚回我的洞了吧。
但我还是好喜欢她，她能在我还在她身边的时候多看我几眼吗？
嘉然小姐说接下来的每个圣诞夜都要和大家一起过[注 2]。我不知道大家指哪些人。好希望这个集合能够对我做一次胞吞。

猫猫还在害怕嘉然小姐。
我会去把她爱的猫猫引来的。
我知道稍有不慎，我就会葬身猫口。
那时候嘉然小姐大概会把我的身体好好地装起来扔到门外吧。
那我就成了一包鼠条，嘻嘻[注 3]。
我希望她能把我扔得近一点，因为我还是好喜欢她。会一直喜欢下去的。

我的灵魂透过窗户向里面看去，挂着的铃铛在轻轻鸣响，嘉然小姐慵懒地靠在沙发上，表演得非常温顺的橘猫坐在她的肩膀。壁炉的火光照在她的脸庞，我冻僵的心脏在风里微微发烫。
