他们自己生活简朴,在他们眼中,一切事物都显得简单自然。

Simple themselves, every thing appeared simple to them.

米尼奥内特太太起初有些不安,因为她发现自己费尽心思缝制的那抽屉婴儿衣物毫无用处,

Mrs. Mignonette was at first a little disconcerted at finding that a drawer of baby linen which she had taken so much pains to make was of no use,

而且她织的一只袜子大得足以让孩子整个人钻进去。

and that one of the stockings which she had knit was big enough for her child to get into.

但是,当她确信宝宝不穿袜子也一样好,而且蓟绒坐垫足以保暖,她便不再烦恼了,

But, when she was convinced that the baby could do just as well without stockings, and that the cushions of thistle down were sufficient to keep it warm, she was no longer troubled,

她对那些急切想见她这个小奇迹的邻居们说:

and she said to her neighbors, who were eager to see her little wonder,

「这个小家伙生得如此娇小玲珑,实在是再自然不过了;

"It is very natural that the little one should be so very delicate;

从一开始我们就叫她'极小小姐';

from the first we called it Piccolissima;

再说,拇指汤姆先生和我都不是很高大;

then, neither Mr. Tom Thumb nor I are very large;

而且听说我们的祖先身形更为纤细;

and I am told that our ancestors were still more delicately formed;

那么,这个小家伙生得如此娇小,又有什么比这更自然的呢?」

what then is more natural than that this little one should be such a wee wee thing?"

拇指汤姆太太的这份平静心态产生了很好的效果,平息了邻居们的好奇心。

The tranquillity of Mrs. Tom Thumb had this good effect; it appeased the curiosity of the neighbors.

最终,邻居们像她一样,也得出了结论:「孩子比母亲小,这是再自然不过的事。」

At last, like her, they came to the conclusion "that it was very natural that the child was smaller than the mother."

我们的女主人公周围一切照常,而她则静静地被流逝的时光所摇曳,沉醉于银钟铃声的悦耳声响之中。

and all went on as usual around our heroine, while she was quietly rocked by the passing hours, and was amused with the sound of the silver clock bell.
